"Acidman" had its world premiere at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, where it received positive notices for the performances from Academy Award nominee Thomas Haden Church ("Sideways") and "Glee" star Dianna Agron for their work as an estranged father whose daughter travels across the country to visit him only to discover that he's starting to lose his mind in his search for UFO's. Dianna was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about working with Haden Church, collaborating with director and co-writer Alex Lehmann, her own relationship with her father, and more. Please take a listen below and be sure to check out the film this weekend from Brainstorm Media in limited release and on demand. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Tori And Lokita" had its world premiere at last year's Cannes Film Festival, where writers and directors Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne (the Dardenne Brothers) received a Special 75th-anniversary prize for their contributions towards the cinematic medium. The winners of two Palme d'Or awards, the Belgian brothers remain a pillar of cinematic excellence crafting stories of ordinary people going through societal struggles in an ever-changing world.

Interview With "John Wick: Chapter 4" Editor Nathan Orloff
"John Wick: Chapter 4" has received the best reviews, audience reactions, and box office of the "John Wick" franchise. It makes it all the more impressive when you consider the latest film is nearly three hours long and could've gone wrong in so many ways in its final edit. Nathan Orloff ("Ghostbusters: Afterlife"), an openly gay film editor, brought a unique perspective to the "John Wick" franchise, which is known for its hyper-masculine themes and characters. His ability to connect with the material and understand the nuances of the action sequences made him an essential collaborator with director Chad Stahelski. He has contributed significantly to the film's success due to the handling of the pacing for such an epic action film, and he was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with me about his work on the film. Please check my interview with him below and enjoy! Thank you!

Interview With "The Lost King" Co-Screenwriter Jeff Pope
"The Lost King" had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews, and it is now being released in theaters in the U.S. by IFC Films.

"Swiss Army Man"
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture
Before the Oscar-winning "Everything Everywhere All At Once," Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's feature directorial debut "Swiss Army Man" polarized audiences during its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The directing duo would go on to win the Best Director prize from the festival, and the film would play in art house theaters, flying under the radar until their successful follow-up film last year. Revisiting the farting corpse buddy comedy movie with me is Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, and guest Cole Jaeger ("The Oscar Expert"). Please take a listen down below as we discuss the film's themes, performances from Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe, the music, and more. Thank you so much, and enjoy!

Interview With "Creed III" Cinematographer, Kramer Morgenthau
"Creed III" recently opened in theaters to the franchise's best box office opening and is continuing the "Creed" franchise in new and unexpected ways. One of those fresh approaches was through the film's cinematography. Michael B. Jordan, in his directorial debut, brought on "Creed II" director of photography Kramer Morgenthau to execute his vision for the third and most ambitious film in the franchise yet. That ambition came from the decision to shoot the boxing scenes using IMAX cameras, a first for any sports film, and depict the action in a style that resembled anime. Kramer was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which you can listen to down below. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Aftersun" had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

With A24 distributing and "Moonlight's" Barry Jenkins and Adele Romanski producing, the tiny independent film took awards season by storm, winning nearly every breakthrough/first-time director prize and more. With "Normal People" star Paul Mescal receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, we decided days before the ceremony to go back and review this film which we missed during its initial theatrical release. Lauren LaMagna & Giovanni Lago joined me to discuss the film's themes, filmmaking, the chemistry between Mescal and Frankie Corio, how we personally connected with it, and more. Please take a listen…

Edward Berger's "All Quiet On The Western Front" is nominated for 9 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best International Feature, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The Netflix WWI film recently won 7 BAFTA awards, including Best Film, and has been a critical success since its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. We've been fortunate to interview many of the Film's cast and crew members this awards season, but for this time, we wanted to spotlight some of the below-the-line talents who are all nominated at this year's Oscars. First, we have Will Mavity'sinterviews with the BAFTA-winning cinematographer James Friend, then the BAFTA-winning sound designer Markus Stemler, followed by production designer Christian M. Goldbeck. Then to end things, we have Dan Bayer's interview with makeup artist Heike Merker. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at one of the most technically well-crafted films of 2022.

Interviews With "Babylon" Oscar-Nominated Composer Justin Hurwitz & Costume Designer Mary Zophres
Damien Chazelle's "Babylon" was one of 2022's largest and most ambitious films. It's fair to say it split everyone who saw it down the middle with their opinions. But an area most could agree on was the film's technical craft. Two frequent Chazelle collaborators, composer Justin Hurwitz and costume designer Mary Zophres were kind enough to spend some time going in-depth on their work for Chazelle's latest. First up is my interview with Hurwitz, where he breaks down the extensive layering of the score, how the film pushed him out of his comfort zone to try new things, if he's open to working with anyone outside Damien Chazelle, and more. Then we have Zoe Rose Bryant's interview with Mary Zophres, where she breaks down the film's elaborate costumes, working with all the different department heads on this massive project, her reaction to some of the criticisms thrown at the film's anachronisms, and more. You do not want to miss listening to these before the Oscars! Please take a listen to…

Still, it went on to receive nominations from various documentary awards voting bodies and even earned a Spirit Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature.

Known for his Emmy-winning work on "Euphoria," and films like "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" and "Zola," Colman Domingo took on a new role with the animated short film "New Moon." Adapting a segment from his one-man show "A Boy and His Soul," Colman and his husband Raul set out to bring the words of Colman's mother to life. "I'm very much a mama's boy," Colman says. "For me, this is a testament to my mother's imagination." In "New Moon," Colman narrates the story of J.J., a young boy who is hearing about a special ritual from his mother. "I remember that moment so very well, of her teaching me about the New Moon and this ritual that I've had for years. The moment you see the New Moon, you just hold your hand wide open, hold your purse open, and whatever you're seeking, it will come to you." It's a joyous expression of love and positivity between a mother and son, all brought to life with surreal animation by French directors Jérémie Balais and Jeff Le Bars.

An Indian blockbuster that crossed over to the states, it is still holding sold-out screenings and receiving rapturous responses from those who experience it. S.S.

Many of the film's below-the-line talent were kind enough to spend time talking with us about their work on the film.

"White Noise"
For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Dan Bayer & Brendan Hodges. Today we're reviewing the latest film from Academy Award-nominee Noah Baumbach ("Marriage Story") as he adapts someone else's material for the first time, Don DeLillo's "White Noise." Starring Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Jodie Turner-Smith, André L. Benjamin & Lars Eidinger, the film is a satire of America in the 1980s with a stylistic flourish from Noah Baumbach unlike any we've ever seen from him before. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received mixed to positive reviews for its performances, music, tone, and complex adaptation by Baumbach. The film is now streaming on Netflix and is garnering an even more mixed response but what did are think of it, though? Please tune in for our review as we discuss these aspects, including its Oscar prospects and more. Thank you so much for listening. We hope you enjoy it.

"Avatar: The Way Of Water"
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Amy Smith, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat & Brendan Hodges. This week we're reviewing what can only be described as the biggest film of the year, "Avatar: The Way Of Water," starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang & Kate Winslet. The film has been 13 years in the making since the original film, "Avatar," shattered box office records to become the highest-grossing film of all time. With a high frame rate, 3D, IMAX formats, and technological advances in CGI and motion capture performance, Cameron is pushing the limits of what's possible in filmmaking once again. What did we think of it? How does it hold up to the first film? How did we feel about the characters, story, and action set pieces? Plus, what does Cameron have planned for the other sequels in the epic sci-fi franchise? We discuss all of this and the film's Oscar prospects in our review below. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Interview With "Empire Of Light" Star, Micheal Ward
"Empire Of Light" may be the most personal story Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes has ever made and receiving award nominations for its leading star Olivia Colman and its cinematography by Roger Deakins. Still, one of the film's best assets is its breakout star, BAFTA Rising Star Award winner Micheal Ward ("Blue Story"). The young 25-year-old actor has a bright future ahead of him, and in Mendes' film, he plays opposite Olivia Colman as a new hire employee at the cinema she manages in the 1980s off the south coast of England. Micheal talked with us about what the journey has been like so far for him with this film, where he sees his career next, working with his co-stars on this film, and more.

"Top Gun: Maverick" has gone on to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time since its release earlier this year. Now, the film is a bonafide Oscar contender for multiple categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Tom Cruise), and many of its craft categories. One Oscar race where it's been the frontrunner for almost the entire season has been in Best Original Song for Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand." The rock, power ballad plays over the credits but has its music weaved in throughout the movie, giving her composer credit alongside Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, and Harold Faltermeyer. Balfe was kind enough to take some time over the summer to talk with us about working on the score, what went into creating "Hold My Hand," and more. Please take a listen below and enjoy. Thank you!

Interview With "All Quiet On The Western Front" Director, Edward Berger
"All Quiet On The Western Front" had its world premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, where it stunned audiences with its bleak story and technically astounding battle sequences. Based on the famous novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, this is the first time the story has been adapted in German for a global audience. The film has been selected by Germany for Best International Feature Film at this year's Oscars and features some of the finest crafts of the year, all worthy of your consideration for this year's awards season. Director/Writer Edward Berger was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about why he decided now was the right time to tell this timeless story again, what went into making the action scenes, and more. Please take a listen to the interviews down below and be sure to catch the film on Netflix if you have not done so already. Thank you, and enjoy!

The Next Best Series Podcast - "House Of The Dragon" Season 1
THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture
HBO's hotly anticipated "House Of The Dragon" had to follow the disastrous final season of "Game Of Thrones" by telling a prequel set hundreds of years before the events of that show based on George R.R. Martin's book "Fire And Blood" about the Targaryen dynasty. The show tells the story known as "The Dance Of Dragons," a Targaryen civil war that divided the realm and nearly brought the once almighty house to extinction. The show has received critical acclaim and has proved to be a ratings success for HBO. But, most importantly, it's won A Song Of Ice And Fire fans back to the world of Westeros as the first season just concluded, and audiences are eager to see the show return for its second season in (hopefully) spring 2024. What did we think of the first season, though? Tune in as Josh Parham, Zoe Rose Bryant, an…

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Nadia Dalimonte, and Tom O'Brien. Together we're reviewing the latest film from director/writer Martin McDonagh, "The Banshees Of Inisherin," starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon & Barry Keoghan. The film reunites McDonagh, Farrell, and Gleeson for the first time since "In Bruges" and is being called McDonagh's best film to date due to its scaled-back approach compared to "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," the dark humor, performances, writing and stunning use of the Irish landscapes. Tune in below as we discuss all of these elements, along with spoilers towards the end of the show, as we try to unpack the many layers to McDonagh's story and the film's Oscar potential.

Here to join me to talk about everything that happened, including some brief thoughts on some new shows we've been watching, such as "House Of The Dragon," "The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power," and "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law," I have Zoe Rose Bryant. This will be our last Next Best Series Podcast episode until after the Oscars. We're planning to come back with exclusive review shows for "House Of The Dragon" and a few others, so stay tuned for that. We thank you for all of your support and hope you enjoy it! See you soon!

Interview With "See How They Run" Director, Tom George
"See How They Run" is one of the more impressive directorial debuts from 2022. Director Tom George and screenwriter Mark Chappell are a match made in heaven as they take the "Whodunnit" genre and flip it on its head with a tribute to the work of Agatha Christie that is a deceptively modern, meta, and vastly entertaining murder mystery in its own right. Tom was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about his work on the film, working with the cast, crafting a compelling murder mystery in 2022, and more.

Interview With "Speak No Evil" Director/Writer, Christian Tafdrup
"Speak No Evil" had its world premiere, digitally, at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it shocked and terrified audiences with its dark humor, which grows more sinister and more threatening until the cringe comedy is completely erased, and all that is left is stomach-churning horror. One of the stand-out films from the festival, it's been playing in limited release in New York and Los Angeles but will now be available to stream on Shudder starting September 16th. Director and writer Christian Tafdrup was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the film (both without spoilers and with indicated spoilers for those who do not wish to know where this twisted film goes). We hope you will check out the film (if you can handle it) and take a listen down below. Enjoy, and thank you!

This is an interesting podcast because this is a series of conversations conducted over the Labor Day weekend while I was at the Telluride Film Festival with Jorge.

"Three Thousand Years Of Longing"
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Amy Smith, Josh Parham & Daniel Howat. Together, we're reviewing the latest film from director George Miller, "Three Thousand Years Of Longing," starring Tilda Swinton & Idris Elba. The film premiered out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival and is following up the biggest success of his career with the critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road." It's the kind of film a filmmaker as visionary as Miller could only make after the success of his previous film because it's one hell of a big swing, filled with fantastical imagery and lots of flashbacks in a sprawling love story commenting on the nature of storytelling. What did we think of the story, performances, and technical aspects? Tune in below to find out. Thank you, and enjoy!

Director Abi Damaris Corbin and her co-writer, Kwame Kwei-Armah, sought to tell the tragic true story of former veteran Brian Brown-Easley and looked at many other tension-filled, single-location thrillers to capture the anxiety and drama of such a high-stake situation. Abi was kind enough to spend some time talking about what drew her to the story, working with the cast, her inspirations, and what she took away from the experience of making her first feature-length film. We hope you take a listen down below and check out the film, now playing in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy!

Our 2012 retrospective is coming to an end this month. Our second to last throwback podcast review is Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook & Tommy Lee Jones. Written by Tony Kushner, the film was a perfect merger of writer, actor, and director coming together to present an iconic figure in American history but finding ways to humanize him and showcase the most important period of his life rather than telling us a traditional biopic. The film received 12 Oscar nominations and won 2, including a third historic Best Actor win for Daniel Day-Lewis. How does the film hold up a decade later?

"I Love My Dad" had its world premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), where it won the Best Narrative Feature Competition jury prize and audience awards. The feature directorial debut of James Morosini (who also starred in and wrote the film) tells an unbelievably cringey true story about James' relationship with his father, played by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning actor Patton Oswalt.

"Barry" has become one of the must-watch shows on television. With each season growing in its dark intensity, one character viewers have latched onto as a fan favorite is the hilarious NoHo Hank, played brilliantly by Emmy Award-nominee Anthony Carrigan. Carrigan had the opportunity to show new sides of the beloved character this year, resulting in some of the best reviews of his career and a second nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with me about his work on the HBO show this year, what he was reacting to behind that prison wall in the season finale, working with Bill Hader, and more.

Interview With "Not Okay" Director/Writer, Quinn Shephard
Actress turned writer, and director Quinn Shephard made her feature directorial debut in 2017 with the release of "Blame." Now, here she is five years later with her follow-up film, which has a wider platform (the film is currently streaming on Hulu), a bigger cast, and budget. "Not Okay" tells the satirical story of a wannabe influencer and writer who is a compulsive liar, piggybacking off of the trauma of others, all in an attempt to go viral. The unlikable lead character is brought to vivid life by Zoey Deutch. Quinn was kind enough to spend a few moments talking about the film's main character, where the idea for the movie came from, discovering 2022's breakout star Mia Isaac and more. Please take a listen down below, enjoy and be sure to check out the film! Thank you.

Interview With "Nope" Composer, Michael Abels
Composer Michael Abels has had a fruitful collaboration with Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele, having created the scores for all three of his films, "Get Out," "Us," and now, "Nope." Each has been released to critical acclaim, but "Nope" may be the composer's most ambitious work yet, combining elements from the horror, sci-fi, and western genres to create a soundscape that is unshakable as it leaves a lasting impact on you as you walk out of the theater. Michael was kind enough to return to the podcast (we previously interviewed him for "Us") to talk about his work on the film, working with Peele, what he has coming up next (an opera!?), and more! Please take a listen down below and enjoy! Thank you.

For Episode 304, I am joined by Josh Parham. Last week we did a deep-dive preview into what we thought would be announced for TIFF this week, but that announcement was moved to early August (except for one shockingly big addition to the lineup this week). So, today, we're doing one final preview for Venezia 79, discussing what went down at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), including a ton of trailers shown at the event. Those trailer reactions include "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," "Halloween Ends," "Shazam! Fury Of The Gods," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "John Wick: Chapter 4" & "Breaking." We also go over the polls, answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! We hope you enjoy this week's show.

Together, we're reviewing the latest film from Jordan Peele, "Nope," starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Brandon Perea & Michael Wincott.

While Peele's ability to tell original stories in the horror genre on this kind of scale is welcome, what did we think of the characters and story? Tune in below as we discuss the humor, scares, and thrills of his latest in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you. Enjoy!
