Interview With "The Goldfinch" Composer, Trevor Gureckis Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Though the film may have received a mixed reception since its premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, composer Trevor Gureckis' score for "The Goldfinch" was continuously pointed out as a highlight. A new sound in the world of composing this decade, Trevor previously worked alongside Phillip Glass and Kanye West before moving full time to film score composing. More of his work can be heard on Apple TV's newest show "Servant," Netflix's "Bloodline" and the upcoming sci-fi Neil Burger film "Voyagers." Trevor was kind enough to talk to us about his work on "The Goldfinch" which we would argue is sublime and should not be discounted for awards consideration.

Interview With "Paddleton" Actor & Writer, Mark Duplass Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Mark Duplass has had a successful career with a fair share of decent performances but for this specific interview, he's not interested in talking about himself. Mark took a few moments out of his day to specifically talk to us about his co-star Ray Romano's work in the Netflix film "Paddleton." He expresses why he believes Ray's work deserves to be up for awards consideration, his thoughts on the current state of how awards season is run and more. It's the most selfless interview you'll hear all year. Take a listen. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
