Fede Álverez's ALIEN: ROMULUS is so reference-packed that an argument could be made for pairing it with just about any ALIEN film, but since we've already discussed the 1979 original, and because the Next Picture Show bylaws state that if an opportunity to discuss ALIENS arises we must take it, we're digging into the first of the many sequels this franchise has spawned. Thanks to writer-director James Cameron's economy of storytelling, there are so many iconic moments, characters, and lines to discuss that we barely scratch the surface this week, though, rest assured, ROMULUS will provide us with many more avenues into the film's greater legacy and mythology next week. And then we keep the franchise fever going in Feedback with a listener prompt about the feeling of being “done” with a once-beloved film series.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ALIENS, ALIEN: ROMULUS, and anything else in the world of film and/or xenomorphs, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Is it a bit unfair to compare M. Night Shyamalan's new grip-it-and-rip-it thriller TRAP to Fritz Lang's 1931 cinematic landmark M? Sure, but that's the name of the game here on The Next Picture Show, and for all of TRAP's faults — which we try not to take too much glee in enumerating in this discussion — it does work, however awkwardly, as an extrapolation of the ideas and narrative techniques first established in Lang's film. From its interest in exploring the mind of a serial killer to its depiction of law-enforcement overreach, there's plenty in TRAP that feels like it's echoing M, though whether Shyamalan does so with enough purpose to suggest a larger thematic statement like M's is another question entirely. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about M, TRAP, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Movie of the Year: 1984Once Upon a Time in America (with Keith Phipps)Can Once Upon in America take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year?Once Upon a Time in America is a movie of epic scope even though it is the tale of small-time crooks trying to screw each other over to make it out of the gutter. (And one guy lives in Buffalo for like decades.) This contrast is just one of many artfully nestled into one of the harder watching experiences we've had on this show. And we've seen American Beauty. Multiple times. Ugh.Joining us will be very special guest Keith Phipps, an actual writer with actual opinions on movies, unlike normal panelists Greg and Mike, dullards of the highest order. Keith has contributed to Rolling Stone, Slate, The Daily Beast, GQ, and The Verge, which c'mon that's cool. He is here to help us get into how this movie fits into the canon of great gangster movies. We will also discuss the special relationship between Noodles and Maxie before covering the often-upsetting, and very confusing, portrayal of romance and sexuality in the movie.Be sure to check out Keith's upcoming book, The Age of Cage, a look at Hollywood through the singular cinematic experience that is Nicolas Cage.

The first few months of the year have a reputation — arguably an unfair one — as a dumping ground for films unlikely to draw blockbuster crowds or notice from awards-giving bodies. Here at The Next Picture Show, we don't subscribe to the idea that no movies of value come out during these months, but we will acknowledge how rarely one of these films makes it onto our final Best of the Year lists. So before summer movie season commences and wipes our collective cultural consciousness of what preceded it, Scott and Keith got together for a special one-off episode focused on ten such films. Whether they end up being the best of the year, or just the best of the first third of the year, they're worth a closer look. Please share your picks on the year's best so far, along with any other comments, thoughts, or questions, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Scott Tobias - the legend of “The AV Club” and “The Dissolve,” currently of “The Reveal” and “The Next Picture Show” podcast - joins us for our first foray into the 1950s. It's a decade regarded by many as something of a dead zone for cinema, a notion that Mr. Tobias is here to push back on, with vigor, as he tells us why 1955 was such an extraordinary year for movies here and abroad.  Become a member for Bonus Episodes, personal stories of working in the industry, and yes - EVEN MORE MOVIES. https://plus.acast.com/s/a-very-good-year.

Unwatchables closes out the year (and season one!) with film critic Keith Phipps, former film editor of the AV Club and The Dissolve, co-host of The Next Picture Show, and author of Age of Cage. In the spirit of the season, this is a special REVERSE episode: two heartwarming family films from directors who usually specialize in the Unwatchable. First up is David Lynch's G-rated Disney drama The Straight Story, followed by Rob Zombie's PG take on the family sitcom The Munsters. If we squint really hard, can we still make out the provocateurs behind the camera?

George Miller's new fantasy-romance THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING may not have made a splash in theaters, but your Next Picture Show cohort agrees it's the sort of odd-duck movie that tends to age well, in part because it fits nicely into the sturdy category of “stories about storytelling.” Even more so than its central djinn character, that interest in storytelling is what links this film to 1940's THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, and so after unpacking our reactions to Miller's film, we bring THIEF back into the discussion to compare two fantastical tales, one sincere and one self-aware, about how desire and love can shape the nature of beings both mythic and mortal. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, leaving a short voicemail at 773-234-9730, or commenting on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes and more.  Works cited: • “Every George Miller Movie is a Mad Max movie,” by Joshua Rivera (polygon.com) Outro music: Sophie B.

Due to some unavoidable scheduling conflicts, your regularly scheduled Next Picture Show pairing is delayed a week, but in its place, Genevieve, Keith, and Tasha are sharing some of their favorite films of the year so far.

Will these films make it to our final lists of 2022's best films? It's too soon to say for certain, but at the moment, the odds look good.  Please share your own standouts from this year, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

With his first two films, 2017's "Columbus" and the new AFTER YANG, director Kogonada has established a meditative style of filmmaking that rewards close attention. "After Yang" takes place in a near-future that's populated by techno-sapiens, clones, and self-driving cars, but its characters struggle with all too familiar things like death, grief, and the meaning of life. In his conversation with the director, Adam asks about Kogonada's preoccupation with grieving, the quiet, non-confrontational style of his films, and the origins of "After Yang"'s thrilling title sequence. We also share a recent review of "Yang" from our sister podcast, The Next Picture Show, hosted by Tasha Robinson, Scott Tobias, Genevieve Koski, and Keith Phipps.

There are no shortage of adaptations we could pair with Joel Coen's new THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH, but for our purposes the choice was always clear: Akira Kurosawa's 1957 classic THRONE OF BLOOD is an ideal Next Picture Show companion piece for the way in which it takes what it needs from the original Shakespeare while changing the language, setting, and performance style, and cherry-picking elements of the plot. We're joined this week by super-podcaster and super-fan David Chen to talk through some of those elements, including a Lady Macbeth who is both more and less passive than her play counterpart, as well as the film's unexpected jolts of humor, and a deliberate sense of pacing that toes the line between building tension and repetition.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THRONE OF BLOOD, THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

We just can't resist discussing a new David Lowery film here at the Next Picture Show, and his latest, THE GREEN KNIGHT, gives us plenty to chew on, taking an alternately minimalist and maximalist approach to a story about honor, myth, and magic that takes place on the edges of King Arthur's legend. Its bordering-on-abstract narrative stands in high contrast to the more expository approach seen in John Boorman's EXCALIBUR last week, but the two films' shared source legend provides a wealth of connections between them, including their respective examinations of honor and chivalry, of nature as magic, and of the symbolic and literal power wielded by women. We get into all of that, plus Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your radar. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about EXCALIBUR, THE GREEN KNIGHT, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Show Notes Works Cited:  • “The Green Knight is glorious and a little baffling.

When it comes to streaming services, we're leaving the Wild West era and entering a new one where multiple corporations with slightly varying distribution models are jockeying for dominance in an increasingly crowded landscape. Where does this leave the new films landing on these services, the audiences who want to watch them, and the fate of the theatrical model as we emerge from the past pandemic year? In this episode, originally recorded for our Patreon subscribers, Scott, Tasha, Keith, and Genevieve got together to discuss those questions as they apply to some of the major streaming services — specifically, those that are acting as distributors of new films, rather than library-focused services. But, due to the multifaceted nature of these services, both library titles and television make their way into the discussion as well because, as Next Picture Show listeners know, no movie exists in a vacuum.

It’s rare that one of the films in a Next Picture Show pairing is directly addressed in the other film, but that’s the case with WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT and the new documentary TINA, two films with distinctly different approaches tackling a common subject: the life of soul music legend Tina Turner. This week we zoom in on Tina through the lens of Brian Gibson’s 1993 biopic, a film that treats the abuse Tina received at the hands of her husband/tormenter Ike Turner as its narrative North Star. We’re joined by critic Jen Chaney to debate how well that choice works, celebrate the transformative performances by Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, and discuss which of the many liberties the film takes with the historical record actually matter in the broader context. Plus, we respond to some feedback about our recent discussions of two films now vying against each other in multiple Oscar categories, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN and NOMADLAND.

Any other year that gave us new films from Kelly Reichardt and David Fincher, Sofia Coppola and Charlie Kaufman, two from Spike Lee and five from Steve McQueen, would have been considered a great one. Alas, 2020 will forever be remembered as The Worst Year Ever—that also happened to be a great year for some of our best filmmakers.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! We are so excited to present yet another VERY SPECIAL episode! We had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Genevieve Koski about her 2013 article she wrote for the A.V. Club titled: 10 episodes that made King Of The Hill one of the most human cartoons everGenevieve Koski was an editor and writer at The A.V. Club, covering music, film, and especially TV, from 2006 through 2013, when she left to help launch the short-lived (but much beloved!) film website The Dissolve. Since The Dissolve shut down in 2015, she has continued working with her former colleagues on the weekly film podcast The Next Picture Show (which just released its 250th episode), and for the past two years has been a TV editor at Vulture.com.Check her out on Twitter and let her know how much you loved this episode! We hope you enjoy this dive into multiple episodes! 

Longtime listeners of The Next Picture Show likely have at least passing familiarity with THE FALL via the many, many mentions it’s received over the years from co-host Tasha Robinson, one of the foremost advocates of Tarsem Singh’s hard-to-find, cultishly adored 2008 film. Joining her in that small but mighty fandom is Elliott Kalan, Emmy-winning comedy writer and co-host of THE FLOP HOUSE podcast, where he has shared Tasha’s experience of singing THE FALL’s praises to his bemused co-hosts. So in honor of… well, nothing, really, other than a shared appreciation of an obscure and highly discussable film, Keith Phipps convened Elliott and Tasha to discuss this extremely weird masterpiece, how its highly unusual filming circumstances resulted in a singular film, and why it’s ultimately a movie that’s “more felt than thought.”  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Greta & Taylor tackle the ramshackle genre of Slice-of-Life movies with their most ramshackle episode yet. They'll get into how these casts that were largely anonymous at their times of release were full of people who went on to become huge stars. They'll go on tangents about nostalgia, comfort cinema, and the 2013 Best Actress race. And only in discussing The Last Picture Show will Taylor finally reveal that he basically ripped off the premise for G&T from The Next Picture Show podcast. Shout out to Tasha, Keith, Genevieve and Scott!   Join us next week for a 2019 year-end wrap-up mini episode, and then two weeks after that for Asghar Farhadi with A Separation (2011) and Everybody Knows (2018).  Check out the instagram!

Melancholy begins to arise as we begin to approach the end of this fun journey we have taken. This week we talk to Deputy TV Editor at Vulture and host of the The Next Picture Show, Genevieve Koski to talk about The Little Things, the penultimate episode of Freaks and Geeks, her relationship with the show, approaching the end of a great thing and our time with these characters. 

The Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips and Tasha Robinson from The Next Picture Show are back for this year's Best of '19 roundtable, and in part one it's the panel's "outlier" picks – films which only made a single Top 10. And with divisive titles like James Gray's "Ad Astra" and Taika Waititi's "Jojo Rabbit" making the cut, there's plenty of lively debate to go along with the praise. 0:00 - Billboard 1:18 - Top 10 of 2019: The Outliers Randy Newman, "What I Love About Charlie" (Marriage Story) 1:16:07 - Notes 1:19:43 - Top 10 of 2019: Outliers, cont. 2:13:26 - Outro  Learn more about your ad choices.

With the critical reappraisal of Ethan Hawke in full swing after a career-best performance in Paul Schrader's "First Reformed," Adam and Josh commemorate "The Hawkessance" with a consideration of the actor's long and varied career, from Todd Anderson's "sweaty-toothed madman" to Rev. Toller's existential despair (and all those Sunrises and Sunsets in between). Joining Adam and Josh for the Top 5 Ethan Hawke Moments is Keith Phipps, Next Picture Show co-host and author of his own recent reconsideration of Hawke. Plus, Adam's interview with Hawke, who talks about BLAZE, his new biopic about Texas singer-singwriter Blaze Foley, and also about the importance of letting your kids make their own mistakes.            0:00-1:39 - Billboard 2:29-35:30 - Interview: Ethan Hawke Blaze Foley, "Clay Pigeons" 37:10-48:18 - Next Week / Notes 48:18-57:13 - Polls (Hawke's best / Historical Epics) Nina Simone, "Just in Time" 1:00:02-2:05:47 - Top 5: Ethan Hawke Moments 2:05:47-2:09:05 - Close Learn more about your ad choices.

Is there a four-hour cut of READY PLAYER ONE? Adam and guest host Tasha Robinson (TheVerge.com, Next Picture Show) have no idea, but it would help explain some of the narrative shortcuts in Spielberg's visually impressive adaptation of the Ernest Cline bestseller. The good news about the story's leap to the big screen is an improvement on the fun, but slight source material and some electrifying moments of nostalgia-fueled fun. Adam and Tasha also go on an Easter Egg hunt of sorts, with their Top 5 Movie Homages (that is, movies referencing other movies), including a movie-length Tarantino homage that gobsmacks Adam when Tasha points it out. All that, plus the championship round of Filmspotting Madness. 0:00-2:44 - Intro 3:30-41:25 - Review: "Ready Player One" The Blow, "Get Up" 44:30-49:41 - Next Week / Notes 49:41-58:56 - Filmspotting Madness: Final 58:56-1:23:04 - Top 5: Movie Homages The Blow, "The Greatest Love of All" 1:25:06-1:57:43 - Top 5: Movie Homages, cont 1:57:43-2:01:03 - Close       Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Jared couldn't make it, but regular guest Julia steps in as co-host!

With the Academy Awards around the corner, Charlie and Nate try something new: a break down of the movie musical La La Land through two of its key songs, "City of Stars" and "Start a Fire." These numbers, one by composer Justin Hurwitz, the other by Hurwitz and John Legend, might represent the two poles of the film's dramatic structure. But a deep dive into their musical construction reveals leitmotifs and left turns that leave us staggered at the different levels to La La Land's score. Special guest Genevieve Koski, deputy culture editor for Vox and co-host of the film podcast The Next Picture Show, joins to help our hosts journey through the uncharted terrain of cinema. Featuring: • Start a Fire - John Legend • City of Stars - Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone • John Legend - Ordinary People • Backstreet Boys - Everybody • Ariana Grande - Side To Side • Die Walkure, The Ring Cycle - Richard Wagner • Engagement, Planetarium, Epilogue, Mia + Sebastian's Theme - Justin Hurwitz • Générique, Dans le magasin de parapluies, Final  - The Umbrellas of Cherbourg • Tie Fighter Theme - John Williams Check out Genevieve Koski's writing on Vox and her great podcast on La La Land here.

In lieu of our regularly scheduled episode — postponed two weeks due to the collision of illness and the Sundance Film Festival — we bring you a recording of our recent live episode, recorded at the Chicago Podcast Festival in November 2016. Inspired by the selection process that goes into each Next Picture Show pairing, with each host pitches a future episode inspired by a 2016 film (and letting the audience decide which we'll do). Plus, a game where the hosts — and live audience — challenge each other to find the connective tissue linking two seemingly unrelated films.  Enjoy, and come back in two weeks for our discussion of WEINER and THE WAR ROOM.

Damian Chazelle’s new big-screen musical LA LA LAND takes its cues from various singing-and-dancing cinematic predecessors, but its melancholy tone is directly descended from Jacques Demy’s classic 1964 musical THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG — a Next Picture Show favorite that we dig into in this first half. We talk over the effects of the film’s sung-through style and working-class setting, and try to pinpoint that certain je ne said quoi that makes UMBRELLAS so indelible. Plus, some feedback on our recent episodes on MOANA and ARRIVAL. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, LA LA LAND, or both by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we lean into the everlasting arms of special guest Adam Kempenaar of Filmspotting as we discuss the Expressionistic style and intriguing moral center of Charles Laughton's acclaimed 1955 noir thriller The Night of the Hunter! ANNOUNCEMENT: For the month of January 2017, we'll be pre-empting new episodes of the podcast in favor of bringing you our long-awaited full-cast radio drama Indiana Jones and the Monkey King!

This week, Keith Phipps of Uproxx and The Next Picture Show comes back to the show to help us make sense of the 1970s John Boorman/Sean Connery mindscrew Zardoz! Set in the year 2293, Zardoz tells the tale of Zed (Connery, wearing a red diaper and thigh-high leather boots, and nothing else) a brutish Exterminator who finds himself in an isolated community of decadent immortals who can't die, and suddenly want his seed to make babies. The whole affair is a series of big, bold choices, many of which don't work, but that's part of the charm of this bizarre little filmic artifact. Even so,  it's still fun to break it all down for you, along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules! (Thanks to our sponsor Basecamp as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

Collected here, reviews for the four Abbas Kiarostami films we've discussed on the show over the years. Our first was back in 2009, when then co-host Matty Robinson and Adam took a look at Kiarmostami’s A TASTE OF CHERRY as part of our Cannes Film Fest Winners marathon. Tasha Robinson, friend of the show and current co-host at The Next Picture Show, joined Adam for a review of CERTIFIED COPY in 2011. Then in 2012, Josh and Adam included 1990’s CLOSE UP in their Contemporary Iranian Cinema marathon. And finally, a review of Kiarostami’s final film, LIKE SOMEBODY IN LOVE from 2012. To hear Adam's conversation with film writer Tina Hassannia about the director’s legacy, which he recorded just days after learning of Kiarostami's passing, you can find that in episode 593 at filmspotting.dot. 0:00-0:55 - Intro 0:55-11:31 - "Taste of Cherry" 11:31-28:30 - "Certified Copy" 28:30-41:42 - "Close Up" 41:42-1:01:39 - "Like Someone in Love" Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Alcohollywood, Keith Phipps of The Next Picture Show joins us to talk John Carpenter’s 1994 Lovecraftian mind-bender In the Mouth of Madness! When grizzled/semi-New Zealander insurance investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) is tasked with tracking down the missing horror writer Sutter Cane (get it? like Stephen King?), he finds himself in a metatextual nightmare where the lines between realty and fiction are intriguingly blurred. It’s a curiously effective mix of campy horror chills, impressive practical effects, and mind-bending twists, so check it out along with our custom cocktail and drinking game! (Thanks to our sponsor Cards Against Humanity as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

This week, The Next Picture Show is going full-on superhero. Inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest offering, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, we look back at the movie that serves as the Big Bang for the MCU: 2008's IRON MAN. This half of the discussion focuses on how Jon Favreau's interpretation of Tony Stark's superhero transformation helped set the template for what became the biggest thing in modern blockbuster cinema, and how that vision holds up under the weight of what followed. Plus, we share some excellent feedback from the last episode about GREEN ROOM. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about IRON MAN, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, or both by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Don't worry, folks, you're not having a flashback. We're not talking about the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book on this week's episode of Mousterpiece Cinema; instead, Josh and Gabe are talking about the live-action remake of the same name, featuring the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken, and more! And they're joined by friend of the show Genevieve Koski of The Next Picture Show to talk all things Kipling. Or, all things Disneyfied Kipling. Does this film improve upon its animated predecessor? Are its effects as impressive as promised? Is Gabe going to continue his streak of being super-negative? Find out now!

It’s January and the movie year is full of promise. Full of promise – and questions. Questions like: Who wins in a battle between Batman and Superman?
