The Next Best Picture Podcast

"The Idea Of You" had its world premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for the chemistry between stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine and its mature writing and commentary on age-gap relationships, self-worth, prejudice towards middle-aged women, and more. Director and co-writer Michael Showalter ("Spoiler Alert") returned to the podcast and was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about his work on the film. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on May 2nd.

Academy Award-nominee Ryusuke Hamaguchi ("Wheel Of Fortune And Fantasy") became a household name after his previous film, "Drive My Car," was nominated for four Oscars, winning Best International Feature Film, so naturally, anticipation for his follow-up was sky high. He was kind enough to sit and talk with us about his latest work during the New York Film Festival last year, where it also screened.

Director David Leitch has had a successful career as a stuntman turned director and has continuously showcased these brave creatives in the best light through his production company, 87North Productions. His latest work represents his most ambitious and personal effort yet, and he was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about the passion he and his crew poured into it, how much closer we are to seeing an Oscar created for stunt performers, and more.
