Interview With "The Report" Composer, David Wingo Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

After getting his start at the beginning of the millennium with David Gordon Green's "George Washington," musician and composer David Wingo has silently been building a strong body of film scoring work for nearly two decades. With scores for "Take Shelter," "Midnight Special," "Brigsby Bear" and the Emmy winning HBO show "Barry," he has certainly made himself known to us and now he's back with Scott Z. Burns political drama "The Report." David was kind enough to take a few minutes to talk to us about his work on the film which you can listen to below!

"Waves" Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

For this week's second podcast review, myself, Casey Lee Clark, Dan Bayer & guest Candice Frederick discuss Trey Edward Shults' third film "Waves." With an emotionally powerful ensemble, a unique narrative structure and technical craftsmanship operating on a level beyond his previous two films, "Waves" marks a huge leap forward for Trey Edward Shults. What does the NBP Team think though? We decided to discuss full SPOILERS for this review so we could get specific with the themes around the film's story and what happens to its characters. If you have not seen the film yet and do not wish to be spoiled, please come back and listen once you've seen the film. Thanks. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"The Irishman" Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

For this week's second podcast review, myself, Casey Lee Clark, Ryan C. Showers , Cody Dericks & Tom O'Brien talk about Martin Scorsese's latest film "The Irishman" reuniting him with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and for the first time ever, working with Al Pacino. A Netflix film with a production budget of over $150 million, heavily involved CGI, a sprawling story that takes place over several decades, packed with heavy themes and meta-commentary, Scorsese's late career gangster film has been hailed as a modern masterpiece. What does the NBP team think about it though? Kick back and a take a listen as we chat about Scorsese's near three and a half hour epic. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

"Doctor Sleep" Nov 09, 2019

Show notes

For this week's main podcast review, Cody Dericks and I review the sequel to the 1980 film "The Shining," based on a novel by Stephen King published in 2013 which was written in response to his dissatisfaction with the Stanley Kubrick film adaptation. Director Mike Flanagan ("Gerald's Game") has the tough task of trying to appease both camps with "Doctor Sleep." Does he succeed? What do we think of the performances by Ewan McGregor & Rebecca Ferguson? The themes? We discuss all of these things on this week's podcast review.
