The Next Best Picture Podcast

For this week's main podcast review, Kt Schaefer, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat and myself look at the film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel "The Goldfinch," directed by "Brooklyn" filmmaker John Crowley and shot by Academy Award winner (it feels so great to say that) Roger Deakins. With that level of prestige and a cast that features Ansel Elgort, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright and a few others, this has to have Oscar buzz right? Not so fast.

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards will be held later this month on September 22nd with the Creative Arts Emmy Awards being handed out shortly before that on the 14th. Michael Schwartz, Tom O'Brien and myself felt it was appropriate to get our predictions in now before everything began. Will "Game Of Thrones" get a rich send-off after its record-setting 32 nominations for the final and divisive season? Or will there be a surprise? It's the Emmys, so surprises are part of the norm.

For this week's main podcast review, Kt Schaefer, Lauren LaMagna & Cody Dericks, and myself travel back to the Stephen King town of Derry and confront our fears and trauma in the second part to the terrifying story of "It," titled "It Chapter Two." Starring an all-star cast which includes Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader & Bill Skarsgård, along with the kid cast from the first film, this nearly three hour horror film has a lot to offer both good and bad.

Wrongfully snubbed of a Best Picture nomination in 2015, "Carol" is a timeless love story between two women in late 1950's New York with absolutely stellar performances from its cast, beautiful writing from Phyllis Nagy and exquisite craftsmanship from Todd Haynes. There's so much to talk about with this one and here to help me do it I have Nicole Ackman, Dan Bayer, Casey Lee Clark, Lauren LaMagna and joining us as a guest for the first time ever, Sara Clements.
