The Next Best Picture Podcast

"Sound Of Metal" has recently been nominated for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for Riz Ahmed for Best Actor. And now, it's been nominated for five Critics Choice Awards including Best Picture. Ahmed's co-star Olivia Cooke, was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking to us about her role in the film, what it was like working with Ahmed, how she was able to transform for the role and more.

"Greyhound" may have come out earlier this year but it has been able to stand out amongst a crowded Oscar season for having some of the bigger production values seen in any movie this year. Its visual effects work is the kind of large blockbuster filmmaking that audiences are sorely missing in their lives right now and with tomorrow's visual effects shortlist to be announced by the Academy, we have a feeling the work from Apple's WWII submarine movie starring Tom Hanks, will make the cut. VFX supervisors Nathan McGuiness and Pete Bebb were kind enough to spend some time talking about their experience of making the film.

For our main review this weekend, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Ryan C. Showers and guests, Ema Sasic & Kolby Mac. This week, we are reviewing the latest film on Netflix titled "Malcolm & Marie" starring Zendaya and John David Washington. A black and white relationship drama shot during the pandemic, the film has already created a lot of discourse mostly surround writer/director Sam Levinson's screenplay which takes shots at film critics and attempts to say a lot about art and relationships. What did we all think of it?

"One Night In Miami" has now been nominated for three Golden Globe awards & two Screen Actors Guild Awards including Best Motion Picture Cast Ensemble. One member of that ensemble is Aldis Hodge, who after starring in films such as "Clemency" and "The Invisible Man," is rising up as one of our hottest working actors today. Aldis was kind enough to talk about what drew him to working on Regina King's directorial debut, what playing Jim Brown meant to him and more!

The Next Best Picture Podcast is back with a recap of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

For our main review this weekend, I am joined by Daniel Howat & Tom O'Brien. This week, we are reviewing the latest film on HBO Max titled "The Little Things." Directed by John Lee Hancock and written by him in 1993, this psychological police/serial killer thriller has been sitting on the shelf for a long time. Now that it has attracted the talent that it has and is now streaming on Warner Bros. premiere service, how does it hold up to today's standards? What did we think of the film's mystery, atmosphere, characters and more? Tune in below to find out and remember, "always enjoy the little things."Check out more on NextBestPicture.comPlease subscribe on...SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcastiTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jTAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Learn more about your ad choices.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL EPISODE. Please check out the full episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureAs we begin a new year, there may not be any sign of an actual date for the Tony Awards or a timeframe for the return of live theater, but with a new administration and the continued rollout of the vaccine, it feels like a new world anyway. With that in mind, the Next Best Theater team decided to take a look at the under-utilized form of musical storytelling, the song cycle, in the form of Jason Robert Brown's "Songs For A New World." Join Nicole Ackman, Casey Lee Clark, Cody Dericks, and myself as we journey through the sixteen "moments" of the first produced work of one of the great contemporary musical theater composer-lyricists.Check out more on NextBestPicture.comPlease subscribe on...SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcastiTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jTAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Learn more about your ad choices.

"Mank" is one of 2020's most technically dazzling films. David Fincher's perfectionism transported us back to the Golden Age of Hollywood to tell us the story of Academy Award winning screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman) and the film has been hailed as one of the year's best, most recently being rewarded as one of the Top 10 films of the year by the American Film Institute (AFI). Many members from the film's production were kind enough to give us a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the film including Academy Award-nominated sound designer Ren Klyce, Costume Designer Trish Summerville & Co-Producer/VFX Producer, Peter Mavromates.
