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 unpack Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant! in our True Lies series, exploring unreliable narration, innovative voiceover techniques, and how comedy shifts corporate drama.
It’s time for our December member bonus episode and this month, the members voted to add a holiday film to our film noir series, landing on the Repeat Performance, where a woman is given the chance to relive a year and see if she can fix the mistakes she made.
The members voted and decided that for this month, we should discuss Fred Niblo’s silent classic, the 1925 Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, which holds its ground against Heston’s version for sure—particularly in the chariot race.
Our members voted and this month, we’re heading to the Old West with the first western for grownups. Gregory Peck stars in Henry King’s brilliant film The Gunfighter.
For our monthly member bonus episode, we backflip into Hua Shan’s crazy tokusatsu movie The Super Inframan. It’s frenetic and non-stop, and we had a blast. Check it out!
Join us for this member bonus episode, part of our Golden Jubilee: 1975’s Pioneering Visions in Global Cinema series, discussing Arthur Penn’s neo-noir film Night Moves, starring Gene Hackman.
We wrap up our year-long Roger Corman member bonus series ending on a fantastically fun high note! Join us as we have a conversation about Allan Arkush’s 1979 punk rock, music-filled, laugh-riot of a film, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.
We return to our Car Racing series for a surprise member bonus episode—that we’re releasing to everyone—to celebrate a brand new release just in theatres, it’s Joseph Kosinski’s F1.
We explore the cheesy thrills of Forbidden World, Corman’s 1982 Alien ripoff, as our Roger Corman member bonus series continues.
We return to our Mission: Impossible series for a member bonus episode that’s getting released to everyone as a way to celebrate this fantastic film and franchise. Enjoy!
