For Episode 507 of the Next Best Picture Podcast, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat, Larry Fried & Tom O'Brien. This week is a special one, for effective September 1st, NBP will be celebrating its 10th anniversary, and how fitting such a milestone episode falls right before our team heads off to Venice, Telluride, TIFF, and NYFF to deliver the best coverage we can for this upcoming awards season. This week, we're discussing the films premiering at the Venice International Film Festival and what we're specifically looking forward to from that festival. For this week's NBP poll question, as the fall film festivals kick off, we're asking everyone for the second time this year, "Which Film Do You Think Will Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" And we reveal the winner of last week's NBP poll, for the release of "Coyote vs. Acme," where we asked everyone, "Which Is Your Favorite Film That Combines Live Action And 2D Animation?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "Fjord," "Possible Love," "The Social Reckoning," "A Talent For Murder" & "Unabomber." We are still answering your fan-submitted questions, but our answers will now be released separately the day after, in a new show called Mailbag Monday (and that is where we will announce the winners of the 2008 NBP Film Community Awards)! So stay tuned for that and many other updates from Next Best Picture as this year's awards season continues. Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us.

September is just around the corner and with the start of the new month comes the fall film festival circuit. Taylor Antrim served as a guest host on today's episode and was joined by fellow Vogue editors and cinephiles Liam Hess and Lisa Wong Macabasco. They discussed the slate of fall film festivals ahead. Liam will be attending Venice—the first and most glamorous of the bunch—and then Taylor and Lisa will both be headed to Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) as well as New York Film Festival (NYFF). “We do get the opportunity sometimes to see some of these festival films before they come out in the festivals because they're trying to drum up support from Vogue and other, other outlets,” Taylor explained. As such, they began their conversation by shouting out some of the films they've already had the chance to see. First on that list was the New York centric film Paper Tiger, by James Gray starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson. “There's a lot of wigs and suits and accents that are a little over the top,” Lisa noted of the thriller that takes places in Queens, New York in the eighties. After watching the film, Taylor found himself asking his group chats “Is Adam Driver a great actor or not?” The cohort weighed in on this quandary.  They weighed in on All of A Sudden, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's French language debut, Fjord, Cristian Mungiu's legal thriller starring podcast favorite Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan,  Hope, an action film starring two-time Vogue cover star Ho-yeon, and Gentle Monster, a vehicle for an incredible performance from Léa Seydoux. In a final lightning round, they each shared the two films they are most excited to see at the festivals. For Liam, he is looking forward to catching Possible Love by Lee Chang-dong and Primetime, a striking portrayal of television host Chris Hansen. Lisa is excited for Bucking Fastard, starring the Mara sisters as twins, and Misty Green, Chris Rock's directorial return promising a commentary about race in Hollywood. Taylor rounded it out with Ink from Danny Boyle, a biographical film about Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of The Sun, and Magazine, an indie pick from Vogue contributor Alexandra Pechman.  Also on today's episode, Chloe is joined by Marley Marius to talk about the big news of the week: the reported return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK. They also discuss the latest movies they've seen (Paw Patrol for Chloe and Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter for Marley) and which stars they are most excited to see on the Venice red carpet (hint: it starts with Parker and ends with Posey). And they gushed over Margaret Qualley's Chanel barefoot sandals which she rocked at a recent red carpet appearance for The Dog Stars in London. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Most networking events happen in a meeting room. Lee Fjord decided to bring investors directly to apartment communities instead. In this episode, Lee shares how his monthly Tours and Pours events allow investors to walk through real apartment properties alongside the owners. Instead of simply hearing about deals, attendees get to ask questions, tour the buildings, and learn how experienced operators built their businesses. Lee also explains how this simple idea grew into a community of more than 3,500 members and helped him find business partners, connect with passive investors, and raise capital for multifamily syndications. The conversation also explores his current investment strategy, the benefits of self managing properties close to home, and why long term ownership remains a core part of his approach. Key Topics Building a 3,500 member multifamily community Why property tours create better learning opportunities Finding business partners through networking Raising passive capital from community members Self managing multifamily properties Setting yearly goals and tracking progress Guest Information Lee Fjord Founder of Green Forest Capital Website: greenforestcapital.com Call to Action Connect with Lee through Green Forest Capital and book a call through his website to learn more about his multifamily investing approach.

Et si on choisissait de ralentir pour se remettre au rythme de la nature?Dans cet épisode de Balad'EAU, Lyne s'entretient avec Gwenn Duval, une femme au parcours captivant, à la croisée de la science marine, de la navigation d'aventure et de la poésie. Navigatrice, océanographe et amoureuse des mots, Gwenn s'est lancée dans un périple d'une grande beauté : descendre le fleuve Saint-Laurent sur près de 400 km, de Montréal jusqu'à l'Isle-aux-Coudres.Son embarcation? Méaban, un petit voilier-aviron en bois, sans aucun moteur, propulsé uniquement à la voile, à la rame et au gré des courants. Dans sa cale, Gwenn transporte du matériel scientifique pour faire découvrir l'invisible monde du plancton aux communautés riveraines... mais aussi de véritables sacs de courrier! Devenue la « factrice du fleuve », elle livre à la main des lettres rédigées d'une escale à l'autre pour tisser des ponts humains tout au long de sa route.Tide-talks, c'est comme des TED talks, mais avec une tangente maritime.Au menu de cette conversation inspirante :

Cette semaine au podcast, je reçois 3 organisateurs de course régionales, Emmanuel Joncas du Trail du Bic, Raphaël Marchand de l'Ultra trail du Fjord du Saguenay et Marco Adamczewski de la Chute du Diable.  Nous abordons la réalité des courses de plus petites envergures, comment elles tirent leur épingle du jeu dans un monde ultra compétitif d'événements de course.

Hun ønsket å fange et minne med den søte sjøskapningen.En: She wanted to capture a memory of the cute sea creature.No: Plutselig, med et sprut og et sprøytt, kastet selen seg opp på stranden.En: Suddenly, with a splash and a spurt, the seal flung itself up onto the shore.No: Den så seg rundt med nysgjerrige øyne og begynte sakte å nærme seg pikniken deres.En: It looked around with curious eyes and slowly began to approach their picnic.No: "Å nei, ser den på maten vår?En: "Oh no, is it eyeing our food?"No: " lurte Magnus og kastet seg ned foran teppla, men selen lo bare, på sin måtelig måte.En: wondered Magnus as he threw himself down in front of the blanket, but the seal just seemed to laugh, in its own way.No: Selen var både barnslig og leken.En: The seal was both childish and playful.No: Den begynte snart å rote rundt i kurven deres, til Magnus' store fortvilelse.En: It soon started rummaging through their basket, much to Magnus' dismay.No: "Hei, stopp!En: "Hey, stop!No: Det er vår mat," utbrøt han, men selen brydde seg ikke.En: That's our food," he exclaimed, but the seal didn't care.No: Kaia var revet mellom ønsket om å beskytte pikniken og å glede seg over dette uventede besøket.En: Kaia was torn between the desire to protect the picnic and the delight in this unexpected visit.No: Mens selen dykket hodet ned i kurven og dro ut en stor bit av laks, kunne de ikke annet enn å le av synet.En: As the seal dunked its head into the basket and pulled out a large piece of salmon, they couldn't help but laugh at the sight.No: "Slapp av, Magnus," sa Kaia til slutt, "det er bare mat.En: "Relax, Magnus," said Kaia finally, "it's just food.No: Og se hvor søt han er!En: And look how cute he is!"No: "Sindre, med et lurt smil om munnen, fanget øyeblikket med sin blyant, mens Kaia tok bilder av kaoset.En: Sindre, with a sly smile on his face, captured the moment with his pencil while Kaia took pictures of the chaos.No: De bestemte seg for å la selen være med dem.En: They decided to let the seal join them.No: Pikniken var kanskje ikke lenger perfekt, men den var absolutt uforglemmelig.En: The picnic was no longer perfect, but it was definitely unforgettable.No: Til slutt satt de alle sammen, følge av en glinsende sel som glad knasket i seg rester.En: In the end, they all sat together, accompanied by a shining seal happily munching on leftovers.No: Kaia la kameraet fra seg og lente seg tilbake for å nyte det.En: Kaia put down her camera and leaned back to enjoy it.No: Hun hadde lært noe viktig den dagen – noen ganger var det de uventede øyeblikkene som skapte de beste minnene.En: She had learned something important that day – sometimes it was the unexpected moments that created the best memories.No: Sola begynte å synke mot horisonten, og fjorden ble sakte malt i gull av kveldssolen.En: The sun began to sink towards the horizon, and the fjord was slowly painted in gold by the evening sun.No: Kaia, Magnus og Sindre skjønte at de hadde delt noe spesielt i dag, og med selen sprellende ved deres side, ga de natten en siste latter.En: Kaia, Magnus, and Sindre realized that they had shared something special today, and with the seal frolicking by their side, they gave the night one last laugh.No: Det hadde vært en perfekt uperfekt dag ved fjorden.En: It had been a perfectly imperfect day by the fjord.

Who is the most overdue actor in Hollywood? According to a Nate Silver model from 2012, it isn't Leonardo DiCaprio — it's Matt Damon. And he still hasn't won. Now Damon (The Odyssey) and Tom Cruise (Digger) are both heading into the 2027 Oscar race with massive 'he's finally due' narratives — and Dylan and Craig are making their way-too-early calls on who gets in and who takes home the statue.This week: full five-nominee slates for Best Actor and Best Actress at the 99th Academy Awards, predicted winners, and dark horses nobody else is talking about yet. On the Best Actor side: why the Cruise vs. Damon clash mirrors one of the great rivalries in Oscar history, whether Jeremy Strong (The Social Reckoning) runs as lead or supporting, and why Timothée Chalamet might quietly accumulate his way into the race via Dune 3. On the Best Actress side: why both hosts pick Sandra Hüller but for different movies — and why a new Academy rule could make her the first performer nominated twice in the same category since the 1930s. Plus: the Al Pacino / Scent of a Woman parallel that makes Tom Cruise the 2027 frontrunner, the Ingrid Bergman / Gaslight parallel pointing toward a Hüller win, Craig's case for Julianne Moore (The Debut), and why Elon Musk promoting the new Uwe Boll film as the antidote to The Odyssey might be the funniest thing to happen in Hollywood this year.Films discussed: Digger, The Odyssey, Fjord, The Debut, The Social Reckoning, Michael, Wild Horse Nine, Obsession, Rose, Fatherland, A Place in Hell, Gentle Monster, Project Hail Mary, I Swear, The Invite, Jack of Spades, All of a Sudden

It's way too early… so naturally we're making our first Oscar predictions.This week on Oscars Outsider, we start building the 2026 Best Picture race from scratch: what already feels like a lock, what feels wildly overhyped, and which movies we're reluctantly admitting might be stronger than we want them to be. We get into The Odyssey, Digger, Project Hail Mary, Michael, Fjord, Dune: Part Three, Fatherland, Wild Horse Nine, The Social Reckoning, and more.Are Project Hail Mary and Michael already undeniable? Is The Odyssey the obvious frontrunner, or could backlash open the door for Dune: Part Three? And which early contenders are we already ready to drop?Plus: Nolan's unusual rollout for The Odyssey, the problem with influencer screenings, and why this Oscar race already feels like a mess.

À quelques mois d'élections régionales décisives en Allemagne de l'Est, les opposants à l'extrême droite se mobilisent face à la progression de l'AfD. Au Royaume-Uni, une législative partielle pourrait fragiliser Keir Starmer et propulser son rival travailliste Andy Burnham. Et en Roumanie, le cinéma d'auteur, célébré dans les festivals, tente de reconquérir son public. En Allemagne, la mobilisation anti-AfD Porte-à-porte, tracts, appels à manifester : en Allemagne de l'Est, la société civile s'organise face à l'extrême droite. L'AfD progresse fortement dans les sondages, notamment dans les Länder de l'Est, où elle espère remporter une, voire deux régions, lors des élections régionales prévues début septembre 2026. À Erfurt, capitale de la Thuringe et bastion du parti, des associations appellent à une grande manifestation le 4 juillet. Reportage de Delphine Nerbollier. Au Royaume-Uni, l'ambition nationale d'Andy Burnham À Makerfield, Andy Burnham, maire du Grand Manchester, est favori d'une législative partielle qui pourrait relancer les tensions au sein du Labour et fragiliser Keir Starmer. Figure populaire du parti travailliste, cet ancien ministre de Tony Blair défend depuis près de dix ans une méthode baptisée le « manchesterisme » : reprise en main des services publics, plafonnement des tarifs des transports, investissements publics ciblés pour attirer les capitaux privés… Avec une croissance supérieure à la moyenne nationale, le Grand Manchester est devenu sa vitrine politique. Explications de Marie Billon. En Roumanie, le cinéma d'auteur cherche son public Récompensé cette année à Cannes par une deuxième Palme d'or pour Fjord, le réalisateur roumain Cristian Mungiu a tenté un pari : faire du cinéma un vrai lieu de rencontre dans son pays. Le 13 juin, son film a été projeté au même moment dans 90 cinémas à travers toute la Roumanie. Une initiative suivie par Marine Leduc, à Bucarest.

For episode 292, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we opted to record during the awards ceremony for the Cannes Film Festival. So, it's a Cannes hangout, where we talk about the festival's movies, as well as play some games related to previous award winners, while awaiting the Palme d'Or result, which ended up being Fjord. You can see all of what won here and my predictions (alongside Robert Hamer's) here. Additionally, we rank the Star Wars entries, drifting off of my new ranking here. It's a nice little episode, as we cruise towards episode 300, which will mark some changes.

President Trump says an agreement with Iran to end the war has been "largely negotiated", writing on social media that the deal will include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Contradicting his statement, Iranian media reports say the vital waterway will remain under Tehran's control. Our North America correspondent assesses the latest claims. Also: US secret service agents kill a shooter who opened fire near a White House security checkpoint; the Pentagon releases a further batch of previously classified files on alleged UFO sightings; the latest on the Democratic Republic of Congo where more than 200 people have died in the current Ebola outbreak; a new law in Japan finally allows divorced couples to share custody of their children; and we hear about the Norwegian based film, Fjord - winner of this year's Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

In this episode, Michael Blank sits down with Lee Fjord, a real estate investor who has built an $80M+ portfolio and owns over 1,200 units—all starting from a single duplex. But the real focus of this conversation is capital raising in today's shifting environment. As online funnels and paid ads become increasingly ineffective, Lee shares how he's built a powerful, scalable system for raising capital locally through in-person events, curated meetups, and relationship-driven strategies. From hosting monthly property tours to creating a repeatable investor “flywheel,” Lee breaks down exactly how he's raised nearly $2M from his network—and how you can do the same by prioritizing trust, consistency, and community.Key TakeawaysLocal Capital Raising Is Back—and It Works As online ads and webinars lose effectiveness, in-person events and local networking are proving to be far more reliable for building investor trust and raising capital.Consistency Creates a Compounding “Flywheel” Effect Hosting recurring monthly events builds familiarity, credibility, and momentum—turning casual attendees into long-term investors over time.Start Small, Then Scale Strategically Lee began with simple meetups and evolved them into curated experiences, proving you don't need perfection—just consistency and iteration.Curated Experiences Attract Higher-Quality Investors Targeting accredited investors, asking the right questions, and filtering attendees helps ensure you're building relationships with serious capital partners.In-Person Connection Builds Trust Faster Than Funnels Face-to-face interactions dramatically shorten the trust cycle compared to cold online leads, making it easier to convert relationships into investments.Layered Engagement (Events + Webinars) Maximizes Reach Combining live events with ongoing touchpoints like webinars and follow-ups creates a powerful ecosystem for nurturing investor relationships.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session523/
