Our main podcast review for this week is the sequel we didn't ask for and we thought we didn't need but now that it is here, we all realize just how wrong we all were and how we should once again, trust that Pixar knows what they are doing.

Our main podcast review for this week is the final "X-Men" film under the Fox banner titled "Dark Phoenix." Written and directed by Simon Kinberg and with the 2nd generation cast returning, are they all able to properly tell the Dark Phoenix storyline so classically mishandled in "X-Men: The Last Stand" or is this yet another disappointing installment in the inconsistent mutant franchise before officially being handed over to Disney/Marvel for future movies following these beloved comic book characters?

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 year's Oscar off-season, we are taking a look back on the 2015 film year which was right before Next Best Picture launched. We asked the NBP Film Community to vote on 5 films nominated for Best Picture and 5 films nominated for Oscars other than Best Picture from that year to be reviewed on the podcast, exclusively for our Patreon subscribers. We already reviewed "Brooklyn" & "Sicario" and now we are looking at Alex Garland's directorial debut "Ex Machina." Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander & Oscar Issac, Garland's sci-fi film is dense, well acted, scripted and has a lot to unpack for the NBP team. For this retrospective review I am joined by Josh Parham, Danilo Castro & Patreon supporter Steven Keller. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

And you thought last week's episode was divisive? "Game Of Thrones" continues to divide its fandom with its final season and that did not stop with its final penultimate episode ever "The Bells." Director Miguel Sapochnik certainly brought the spectacle that the show has now become known for but did David Benioff and D.B. Weiss deliver the storytelling that the show initially became known for? Did the final penultimate episode set everything up for the series finale? Listen to Will Mavity, Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Celia Schelekewey & myself as we try to sort out our feelings and thoughts. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

For this week's main podcast review, we're not reviewing a serious drama or a franchise film. This week, we're going the comedy route with Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in the Jonathan Levine directed film "Long Shot" where an unlikely relationship develops between a journalist and a powerful politician. It's "Pretty Woman" for a new generation and here to help me talk about it is Josh Parham & Dan Bayer. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

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 It's hard to believe but with only 6 episodes, we are now a third of the way through this final season of "Game Of Thrones." After laying the foundation in the premiere episode titled "Winterfell," director David Nutter and writer Bryan Cogman decided to slow thins down this week and give us a very character heavy episode that reminded us why we love these characters so much before next week's epic battle which is sure to take a lot of them away from us. If you are a fan of how "Game Of Thrones" used to be before it became so huge in scale and yearn for more of those intimate character moments then "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" was for you. But what did we think of it? Join Jacey Aldredge, Josh Williams and I as we take a detailed dive into the episode scene by scene. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
