Rian Johnson is back on Netflix with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and this starts off as a bit of a mystery in comparison to the prior iterations of this franchise. This star-studded cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Thomas Haden Church, and of course Daniel Craig, to name a few. This mystery centers around a Catholic Church in a small town, where a young, but troubled, upstart priest gets sent there to pay recompense and mature as a man of the cloth. Mystery ensues and our favorite guy Benoit shows up to figure out the killer in this surprisingly introspective whodunnit. Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.Not A Bomb! continues with the bombs of 2025, this time examining the black comedy film - The Phoenician Scheme. Troy and Brad use this opportunity to reflect on the cinematic career of Wes Anderson. Everyone knows Wes has a unique visual, but has he grown as a filmmaker? Is he just doing the Wes Anderson thing? The hosts find themselves battling with their initial thoughts and The Phoenician Scheme provided plenty for them to chew on. But hey, most importantly the guys are able to talk about Richard Ayoade AKA Dean Learner from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace so maybe The Phoenician Scheme is the greatest film ever made for that simply fact.The Phoenician Scheme is directed by Wes Anderson and stars Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Rix Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amairic, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Rupert FriendAdditionally, Troy and Brad discuss Kill Bill: The Whole Affair as a bonus.Want to help support the show?

"Highest 2 Lowest" is an American crime thriller film directed by Spike Lee from a screenplay by Alan Fox. It is an English-language remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese film "High and Low," itself based on Ed McBain's 1959 novel "King's Ransom." The film stars Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, ASAP Rocky, John Douglas Thompson, Dean Winters, LaChanze, Princess Nokia, and Ice Spice (in her film debut). The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival out of competition, where it received positive reviews for its performances, music, and direction from Lee. Composer Howard Drossin and songwriter/performer Aiyana-Lee, who collaborated on the film's title track, were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences working on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Apple TV+. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

NETFLIX WINS THE BIDDING WAR FOR WARNER BROS! Quentin Tarantino Trashes Paul Dano?! The Batman 2 Casting Rumors, Scarlett Johansson's MYSTERY Role, Stranger Things 5's Final Runtime, AND the Spider-Noir / Ben Reilly series?! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau dive into all the wild entertainment news of the week — from Tarantino's fiery comments about Paul Dano and the ongoing online debate, to whether Scarlett Johansson is joining Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II as Poison Ivy, Andrea Beaumont / Phantasm, or something completely unexpected. We break down what's real, what's rumored, and what actually makes sense inside the evolving Bat-universe with Robert Pattinson's Batman, Barry Keoghan's Joker, Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright's Gordon, Andy Serkis' Alfred & more. We also react to the brand-new update that Stranger Things Season 5 will feature a 2 hour and 5 minute runtime for the final episode — the most cinematic ending the Duffer Brothers have ever done. Who survives? Who dies? And how will the show wrap up Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Dustin, Lucas, Max, Jonathan, Steve, Nancy & Robin's story?
