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. The first film on that list is the Best Picture nominee "Brooklyn" starring Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen and Domhnall Gleeson. There is a tremendous amount of love here from the NBP Team for this film as I was joined for this review by Michael Schwartz, Nicole Ackman, DeAnn Knighton, Cody Dericks, Dan Bayer & our newest member Casey Lee Clark.

Jeff Tremaine has made his directing career working with the "Jackass" crew on all of their theatrical films. Now, with Netflix's "The Dirt," he is working for the first time with a plot, telling a musical biopic of one of the world's most popular rock bands: Mötley Crüe.

For this week's main podcast review, the choices were slim between "Five Feet Apart," "Triple Frontier" and what we ultimately settled on, the mysterious sci-fi film from the director of "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" starring John Goodman ("10 Cloverfield Lane"), Ashton Sanders ("Moonlight") and a few others titled "Captive State." Sounds intriguing enough, right? Well, Josh Parham and I went into this one completely blind, with no critics reviews to help guide on us on if this was even going to be worth our time or not and we do have some thoughts on it.

Together, we discuss Masrvel's latest addition to the MCU, "Captain Marvel" starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law and more! How does this lead into "Avengers: Endgam?"

Kim Nguyen is a Canadian director and writer who gained a lot of attention for his Academy Award nominated foreign language film "War Witch" in 2012. He has made a few films since then but his latest "The Hummingbird Project" is his most accessible and biggest yet, featuring an A-list cast that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgard & Salma Hayek. The 45 year old filmmaker was kind enough to sit with me for a few minutes to talk about his latest film. 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 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."
