For this week's main review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Nicole Ackman, Ryan C. Showers, Lauren LaMagna & Cody Dericks. Together, we are discussing the latest film from Netflix, and one of the year's biggest Oscar contenders "The Trial Of The Chicago 7" written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and starring Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Rylance, Jeremy Strong, Frank Langella, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and a bunch more! Released during one of the most political years of our lifetimes, the timing of this movie could not be any more relevant. How does it hold up though? What do we think of the performances? Sorkin's writing and directing?

There's always excitement in the air when you feel like you're watching the emergence of a new creative talent on the scene and that's exactly how I felt with Cooper Raiff's directorial debut "Shithouse," which won the Grand Jury prize at this year's South By Southwest for Best Narrative feature. Conducting the duties as star, writer, director, producer and editor on the film, Cooper certainly had his hands full on this film and he was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking to us about that, what it was like working with Dylan Gelula, getting Jay Duplass on board early and more! Take a listen below and be sure to check out the film, available now!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 REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPictureAs previously announced, we are diving back into the year 2016 with a few missing podcast reviews which we did not complete the year the site launched. This will culminate in NBP Film Community Awards and awards voted on by the staff towards the end of October. Next up is our review of the Coen Brothers' look back on 1950s Hollywood with "Hail, Caesar!" starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton & Channing Tatum. A screwball comedy with religious symbolism and many memorable scenes, how does it all come together for the Next Best Picture team? Joining me to discuss I have Nicole Ackman, Michael Schwartz, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Ryan C. Showers & Patreon guest Paul Meredith. Take a listen below and let us know what you think.

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/NextBestPictureNext Best Adaptation is back where we review the source material of the year's potential Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar contenders. Last time we were here we looked at "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier and "Death On The Nile" by Agatha Christie. Now, we are looking at "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir Of A Family And Culture In Crisis" by J.D. Vance. We recorded this podcast over the summer but the trailer for the film adaptation by Ron Howard and starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close was unveiled by Netflix today and we figured now was the right time to release this podcast.

"The Forty-Year-Old Version" bursted onto the scene at Sundance earlier this year to tremendous buzz and acclaim. While most of the praise has been directed towards the film's star, director, writer and producer, Radha Blank, cinematographer Eric Branco has also be singled out for his black and white photography of New York City which helps to give the film an early 90s independent feeling. Eric was kind enough to talk with Next Best Picture about his process into making the film, how he came aboard the project, working with Radha and more!

We have a special sneak peak into the making of Pixar's "Soul" for you all to devour before its launch on Disney Plus on December 25th, 2020. We were lucky enough to have seen the first 40 minutes of the film and from that, we conducted a series of three separate interviews. We spoke with filmmakers Pete Docter (Director/Writer), Kemp Powers (Co-Director) and Dana Murray (Producer). Then we spoke with the Story Team: Kristen Lester (Story Supervisor), Michael Yates (Story Artist) & Aphton Corbin (Story Artist). And finally, the wonderful Animation Team who bring everything to life: Bobby Podesta (Animation Supervisor), Jude Brownbill (Animation Supervisor) & MontaQue Ruffin (Animator). Take a listen and get excited, for "Soul" promises to be not just one of the best films of the year but one of the best films you're likely to see in your lifetime.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.
