Each episode of The Next Reel Film Podcast is a part of a series or collection of films brought together by time, idea, or contributor. Looking to build a great watchlist? You can’t go wrong with starting on a Next Reel Series.
We continue our member bonus Roger Corman series with a look at his delightful horror comedy with Dick Miller playing the lead – it’s his 1959 film “A Bucket of Blood.”
We kick off our member bonus celebration of Roger Corman, which will run all of season 14. Our members voted, and the first conversation is a look at Corman’s 1960 film “The Little Shop of Horrors.”
We wrap up our member bonus series on the 1993 Academy Award Best Film Editing Nominees with a conversation about Clint Eastwood’s return to form with his revisionist western ‘Unforgiven.’
We continue our member bonus series looking at the 1993 Academy Award nominees for Best Film Editing with a conversation about Robert Altman’s return to Hollywood with his satire on Hollywood herself, “The Player.”
Our next member bonus episode! We continue our series on the 1993 Academy Award nominees for Best Film Editing, this time looking at Rob Reiner’s adaptation of Aaron Sorkin’s play, “A Few Good Men.”
We continue our member bonus 1993 Academy Awards Best Film Editing Nominees series with Neil Jordan’s fascinating and complex story about the IRA, relationships, and human nature. That’s right, it’s time for ‘The Crying Game.’
We kick off our 1993 Academy Awards Best Editing series for our member bonus episodes with a conversation about Paul Verhoeven’s sexy, sleazy, mysterious erotic thriller “Basic Instinct.” It may have some issues, but it holds up extremely well. Tune in!
The members have spoken and decided that, instead of a good film with real possible options for an alternate 1998 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress, we should talk about Mark A.Z. Dippé’s Spawn, based on Todd MacFarlane’s comics. Poor Theresa Randle. Still, it makes for a fun conversation!
Our members voted and for January 2024, we’re talking about Batman Forever as a potential contender for the 1996 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations for worst director. But does Joel Schumacher warrant that or did he deliver exactly what everyone wanted? And how does this movie hold up today?
It’s our December Member Bonus Episode, and the members have spoken — we’re adding Joel Schumacher’s 1987 teen vampire horror comedy “The Lost Boys” to the list of films that coulda been a contender at the 1988 Academy Awards nominations for Best Visual Effects. It’s a fun one to return to, and has a lot more going on than we realized when we first saw it in the 80s. Tune in!
