The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago & Kenzie Vanunu. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from Academy Award-winner Sofia Coppola, "Priscilla," starring Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi & Dagmara Domińczyk. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Best Actress prize for Spaeny. It tells the story of the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla from her point of view. Standing in stark contrast to last year's "Elvis," what did we think of its approach by Copolla, the writing, performances, and re-creations of the time period? Tune in as we discuss these points, its awards potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by  Dan Bayer & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from the Academy Award-winning directing duo Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, "Nyad" starring Annette Bening, Jodie Foster & Rhys Ifans. After their award-winning documentaries "Free Solo" and "The Rescue," the two filmmakers have made their first narrative feature for Netflix, and it carries over many shared themes and elements as the previous stories they've told. What did we think of the story, the performances, the crafts, and how Elizabeth and Jimmy made the transition over to narrative feature filmmaking? Please tune in as we discuss these talking points, the film's awards potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

"The Holdovers" had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, where it received some of Alexander Payne's best reviews since "Sideways." It later screened at the Toronto International Film Festival to similar acclaim and was the runner-up for the Toronto People's Choice Award. Re-uniting Paul Giamatti with Payne, the film is one of the rare films from Payne that neither he nor his collaborator Jim Taylor wrote together. Screenwriter David Hemingson was kind enough to spend a few moments speaking with us about the script, how he came on board the project, working with Payne, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release and will expand on November 10th from Focus Features.

Today, we are reviewing the newest film from Academy Award-winner Alexander Payne, "The Holdovers," starring Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and newcomer Dominic Sessa. The Christmas comedy-drama had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, where many hailed it as a return to form for Payne and his best film since the 2004 Oscar-winning "Sideways." Reuniting for the first time with Paul Giamatti since that film's release, will this one find similar success with the Academy? Tune in as we discuss its awards potential, characters, writing, performances, 1970s cinematic aesthetic, and more in our review.

"Beyond Utopia" had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received universal acclaim and won the Audience Award for U.S. Documentary Competition. It has now since gone on to receive four Critics Choice Documentary Award nominations, including Best Documentary Feature, Best Director, and Best Editing for the film's director and editor, Madeleine Gavin. It is truly one of, if not the best, documentary of 2023. Madeleine was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film which involved a lot of risk, pre-planning and is an ongoing issue for those still trapped in North Korea and seeking escape today. Please be sure to take a listen and check out the film, which will be playing in limited release on November 3rd.

"Fingernails" had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its quirky blend of low-key sci-fi, romance, and commentary on relationships. The performances from Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, and Jeremy Allen White also drew attention on top of Christos Nikou's screenplay. Nikou was kind enough following the film's screening at the Toronto International Film Festival to speak with us regarding his work on the film, views toward romantic relationships, and more.
