The Next Best Picture Podcast

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this month's Patreon Last Best Picture review on the Next Best Picture Podcast, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks and two Patreon guests, Daniel Brilliant & Andrew Puhr. In the aftermath of "Green Book" winning Best Picture and being called the worst Best Picture winner since "Crash," it almost feels too coincidental that Paul Haggis' film on race relations in contemporary Los Angeles won the poll for this month. We have a lot to say on this one resulting in a final recording time of 1:45:00 on our thoughts on the film, what it gets right versus what it gets wrong, the performances, writing, editing and of course, its historic Best Picture win over the critical favorite that year "Brokeback Mountain."

For weeks there has been a debate over how much of "The Favourite's" much awarded (and Oscar hopeful) production design was actual production design and how much of it was simply very good location scouting. Here to put the debate to rest is production designer Fiona Crombie who's previous credits include 2016's "Macbeth" and the hit show "Top Of The Lake." Fiona was kind enough to give us a few minutes of her time to talk about the lush, detailed and vast work on Yorgos Lanthimos' new film. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
