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.
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!
Our series looking at four films from writer/director Ann Hui has come to an end. We’ve watched and discussed ‘A Simple Life,’ ‘Song of the Exile,’ ‘Our Time Will Come,’ and ‘Boat People.’ What did we think of the films? Are we connecting with Hui as a storyteller? Tune in for our Retake episode looking back at this series as a whole.
Andy & Pete put on our luchador outfits to kick off 2022 for our members with our first Flickchart Re-Ranking episode. What big shake-ups will we have this month? Tune in to find out!
What a holiday treat! Andy & Pete have this special bonus episode to give to you, our dear members, as a holiday bonus episode, on top of our December member bonus! What givers! So tune in to this episode about Adrian Lyne’s 1990 psychological horror film ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ and enjoy! And happy holidays from all of us.
‘Tis the season for another member bonus episode! For December, our members voted on holiday films and landed on Brian Levant’s 1996 film ‘Jingle All the Way.’ How did it work for us then and how does it work for us now? It’s not a classic but we can certainly see why people who saw it at the right age would call it an annual favorite. Check it out and tune in for our conversation about this Schwarzenegger/Sinbad Christmas movie!
This series is over. We’ve covered 17 Girls, The Future, Hard Labor, Dimensions, Pariah, Tomboy, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Where Do We Go Now?, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, A Simple Life, and Arthur Christmas. So what did we think of these films that, like this podcast, are celebrating their 10 Year Anniversaries? And how have they held up over this past decade?
Andy & Pete return to the ring to shake up the Flickchart Ranking tree. What will change? Who will win the roshambo matches? This is our December 2021 Flickchart Re-Ranking for all of you wonderful members! Thanks as always and enjoy!
Our members voted on it so here it is – our conversation about Spike Lee’s 1992 film ‘Malcolm X’ for our November Member Bonus Episode! What do we think of this biopic? Tune in to find out!
