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.
Our Coming of Age Debuts series is over. We’ve covered Salaam Bombay!, Slums of Beverly Hills, Ratcatcher, The Virgin Suicides, Thirteen, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, and Booksmart. So what did we think of these films and what they brought to the table?
For our April 2022 member bonus episode, we dip back into our original scifi series with Tobe Hooper’s epic space vampire flop “Lifeforce.” Why did it bomb so hard? What works in the film? Why is there so much naked Mathilda May? And how much do we kinda love this crazy movie? Tune in for more!
It’s our monthly member bonus episode in which we do some re-ranking on our Flickchart page to see what changes happen. And we battle with rock-paper-scissors a bit too.
It’s our March member bonus episode! We return to our ‘Couples on the Run’ series from 2013 with David Lynch’s 1990 Palm D’Or winner ‘Wild at Heart.’ Is it too much Lynch craziness or just enough? Are Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern too over the top? Do they even come near the craziness of Diane Ladd? We dig in and may not agree but have a great conversation about it so tune in!
May the luck o’ the Irish be with both of us as we struggle to come out on top with this month’s member bonus Flickchart Re-Ranking. Happy March 2022 everyone! Enjoy!
We covered five films in our John Heard series, the first of which was also a part of our previous Journalists series. We included every film John Heard performed in that was directed by a woman. What did we think of the five films? Tune in to find out!
For our February member bonus episode, the members voted to jump back into our Ingrid Bergman series with her 1969 comedy ‘Cactus Flower.’ Walter Matthau’s in it, and this is where Goldie Hawn made her mark and won her Oscar! We have a great time chatting about this movie so check it out and tune in!
Andy & Pete don’t care about Valentine’s Day and are here to prove it with another Flickfight! Join us for our February Flickchart Re-Ranking episode.
It was a short series and didn’t really have films that dealt with journalism so much as have characters who are journalists, but it was still an interesting series. We talked about Boat People, Merrily We Go to Hell, The Weight of Water, and Between the Lines. So what did we think of the series overall? Tune in to find out!
It’s our January member bonus episode! We’re talking about H.C. Potter’s 1948 film ‘Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House,’ which fills in a gap in both our Cary Grant and our Black and White Cinematography of James Wong Howe series. Check it out!
