"28 Days Later" Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this month's Patreon throwback podcast review we are looking back at the 2003 post-apocalyptic horror film "28 Days Later" written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle. With the coronavirus all over the news and the upcoming release of "A Quiet Place Part 2" which also stars Cillian Murphy, we thought this would be the appropriate time to revist this British "zombie" classic. How does it hold up? How are the performances and the crafts? Here to join me in this month's throwback review is Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham & Dan Bayer.

Interview With The Writer/Director Of "Wendy," Benh Zeitlin Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

Benh Zeitlin made his feature filmmaking debut 8 years ago with the indie sensation "Beasts Of The Southern Wild," which earned four Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. Since then, he's been hard at work on his follow up film "Wendy," which is a modern and grounded re-telling of the legend of Peter Pan from the perspective of the character Wendy. Benh was kind enough to talk us through his process of filmmaking, casting the child actors, why it took so long for his sophomore film and more!
