This week, the MennoBrarians discuss the Oscar winning movie adaptation of Women Talking (tho we did not yet know at the time we recorded that it would win!). Women Talking was written by Sarah Polley, who won an Oscar for Best Adaptation. We covered the book Women Talking by Canadian Mennonite author Miriam Toews in our last episode, season 4 episode 13. Tune in for discussions on differences between the book and the film, our favorite moments in the movie, and which we liked best. Content warning: Women Talking, while fiction, is based on true stories of sexual assault and rape perpetrated against members (primarily women & children) of the Manitoba Mennonite Old Colony community. While not discussed graphically, references to rape, sexual assault, and suicidal ideation are made throughout this episode.

The final recorded podcast of the year has the Gents of the podcast wanting the end of Skip Bayless' career (0:30), as he had a controversial take going after his co-host Shannon Sharpe on their show Undisputed. If EstoBro said some gas-lighting takes to get TV riled up, you know there will be more than an argument recorded for content. The Gents review the Game Awards (15:20) and celebrate Elden Ring for winning 'Game of the Year,' with God of War Ragnarök sweeping a bunch of accolades at the same time. They also give props to Stray for winning 'Indie Game of the Year,' Arcane for winning 'Best Adaptation of a Video Game,' and other celebrations that highlighted the video game ceremony. EstoBro hypes TV up about the film Bullet Train as the best film he has seen in 2022 (28:55), as the Gents also highlight some of the best films that came out this year and review the lists via IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. As the Gents turn their attention to sports (40:00), the final four have been set at Qatar in the World Cup of 2022 amongst Argentina, Croatia, France, and Morocco. They also make their prediction on who will be in the final and what nation will win it all. Another major sports event that EstoBro challenges TV on is how popular pickleball has become (50:45), which amazes the latter on how this is a real sport and he might lean on for retirement in fantasy sports. Finally, the Gents have their final 'Who has the munchies?' segment of the year by pinning prime rib against holiday ham (57:30) in the final Food Wars of the year. EstoBro and TV are more than thrilled that you have subscribed, shared, and contributed to their passion project in year two of the podcast. They look forward to sharing more memories and laughs in 2023 as the EstoBro TV Podcast continues to grow with its audience. Happy Holidays from EstoBro and TV!

It's only one more Gobbledygeek ‘til Christmas! This year, instead of discussing the weird or cynical sides of the holidays, Paul and Arlo are embracing sincerity with a look at 1992's The Muppet Christmas Carol. The first Muppets feature film following the death of Jim Henson is a faithful adaptation of the classic novella, with Gonzo as Charles Dickens himself and none other than Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge. The boys discuss why Caine's decision to play things straight is key to the film's success, the film's technical wizardry, the beautiful songs by Paul Williams, and why it's the greatest Christmas film of them all. Plus, Paul and Arlo recount a very strange year and get honest about the difficulties of the holiday season. NEXT: have a safe and merry holiday, regardless of what you celebrate, and a happy new year. We'll be back in 2022 with the long-awaited discussion of The Americans season 4 featuring Wesley Mead.

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.

Last time, we looked at "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier, and this time we are taking a look at Agatha Christie's mystery novel "Death On The Nile" which will be released on October 21st by Netflix. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh as the returning Hercule Poirot, it serves as a sequel to his 2017 film "Murder On The Orient Express." It will surely not only be compared to the source material but to the 1978 film of the same name. We mostly focus on the book here but also touch on the 1978 adaptation and what we hope for with Branagh's latest. Joining me for this podcast I have Will Mavity and Dan Bayer.

Please check out the full episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Earlier this year, we put up a poll for you all to select sources of material that could be potential contenders for Best Adapted Screenplay this year.

These are all going to have their source material examined by us on the show with an in depth discussion into the work's themes, characters and our predictions as to how it will all translate to the screen. For the second episode of Next Best Adaptation myself, Kt Schaefer, Nicole Ackman and Dan Bayer all read David Sheff's story "Beautiful Boy" which will premiere at TIFF in a few days and be released by Amazon Studios on October 12th.
