Academy Award-nominated editor Joe Walker has worked with director Denis Villeneuve four times now with "Sicario," "Arrival," "Blade Runner 2049," and their latest project, "Dune." Their latest collaboration is their most extensive and trickiest yet, which resulted in a 20-month long post-production process. With multiple characters, new worlds, dream sequences, action set pieces, and more, it was an arduous but creatively rewarding task to adapt Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel to the big screen. Joe was kind enough to spend time with me talking about the process of editing the film, his hopes for "Part Two " (which has now officially been greenlit), whether or not if we'll see an extended cut of "Part One," and more! It's a fascinating and wonderful discussion behind the biggest film of 2021.

For our second podcast review this week, I am joined by Nicole Ackman, Daniel Howat & guest Isaac Feldberg to discuss the latest film from Wes Anderson, "The French Dispatch." Starring a large ensemble, which includes Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and a bunch of others, the film is presented as an anthology of separate stories paying tribute to journalism. What did we think of the craft on display, the stories themselves, the performances, where Wes Anderson finds himself at this stage in his career, and the film's Oscar prospects? We discuss all of these points and more in our review, which you can listen to down below.

For our main podcast review this weekend, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat & guest Marianna Neal from Impression Blend are journeying to Arrakis with me to discuss Denis Villeneuve's "Dune," starring Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, Chang Chen, David Dastmalchian, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa & Javier Bardem. Based on the first half of Frank Herbert's classic 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name, the film is very much a Part One and introduces audiences to a whole new world, with tons of characters and a lot of exposition. It is the big-screen event of the year, despite being available to view at home on HBO Max. What did we think of the scale and scope of it all? What did we think of the performances, the story, and the crafts? We discuss all of these points plus the film's Oscar prospects as well in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL COMMENTARY. Please check out the full commentary on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureIt has been more than a year since we did our first audio commentary track for "Serenity." We promise it won't be that long again, but now, with the release of Denis Villeneuve's in theaters and on HBO Max, we decided to watch David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel "Dune." An incoherent mess that attempted to adapt the whole book into a two-hour film, the film has grown a cult following over the years for its design elements, bizarre performances, and tone. Joining me for this disaster of a film are Sara Clements and Dan Bayer. Kick back, inhale the spice, fire up your movie stream, and come with us to Arrakis!

At age 83 years old, Ridley Scott is at the top of his game, crafting large-scale medieval epics that most Hollywood directors wouldn't even dream of attempting. Part of the reason why his vision for these movies is so fully realized is because of the crafts team he assembles with each new endeavor. For "The Last Duel," he re-teamed with cinematographer Dariusz Wolski, costume designer Janty Yates, and composer Harry Gregson-Williams. The three of them were kind enough to take some time and speak with us in a group setting about their work on the film.

For our second podcast review this week, Nicole Ackman, Dan Bayer, Ema Sasic & Lauren LaMagna join me to discuss Ridley Scott's latest epic, "The Last Duel," starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer & Ben Affleck. Told from three different perspectives, this medieval #MeToo movie has caused quite a stir lately over its depictions of rape, its commentary on the male patriarchy, and more. What did we think of the screenplay? The action set pieces? The editing? Performances? We discuss all of these topics and more in our spoiler-filled review down below.

For our main podcast review this weekend, Cody Dericks and Danilo Castro join me to discuss the middle chapter of David Gordon Green's vision for "Halloween," with the sequel to the 2018 film (also called "Halloween"), "Halloween Kills." Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton & Anthony Michael Hall, the film continues the story from the last movie throughout a single Halloween night 40 years after the events of the original 1978 film with a larger body count from Michael Myers and a frenzied town of traumatized victims ready to take him out. Will evil die tonight? What did we think? Tune in below and listen to our SPOILER-FILLED review to find out.
