Episode 593: All the King's Men

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture

Our 2010 retrospective has come to an end. We say goodbye with that year's Oscar Best Picture winner, "The King's Speech," starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce & Timothy Spall. Directed by Tom Hooper and brilliantly written by David Seidler, the inspiring true story is among the hotly debated Best Picture winners of all time. While the merits of its Oscar wins are certainly discussed, we primarily want to know how the film holds up on its own fourteen years later. Join Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, Dan Bayer, and me as we discuss our thoughts on the performances, writing, direction, cinematography, its awards season success, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. It's been a fun retrospective, and we hope you'll go back and listen to our reviews for "Black Swan," "The Town," "The Fighter," "Toy Story 3," "Winter's Bone," "127 Hours," "Blue Valentine," "The Kids Are All Right," "Inception" and former reviews for "The Social Network," and "True Grit." Please be sure to take a look at the winners of the NBP Film Community and NBP Film Awards for 2010. I would like to give a final thank you to all of you, the dear listeners of Next Best Picture. We appreciate your support and hope you have had as great of a time with this retrospective as we have. Enjoy!

"The King's Speech"

For Episode 416, Dan Bayer, Alyssa Christian, Tom O'Brien, and I are here this week to discuss how the results of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election may impact the Oscar race. We reveal the winners of last week's poll, asking, "Which Is Your Favorite Hugh Grant Performance?" and ask this week's poll question, "Which Netflix Film Awards Season Contender Has Been Your Favorite?" We also give our reactions to the trailers for "The End" & "Armand," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more. Thank you all so very much for listening, supporting, and subscribing. We hope, even during these dark and uncertain times, that you enjoy this week's episode and all the episodes to come.

Updated Oscar Predictions - Fall Picks with a 75% Accuracy Guarantee - ORC 11/13/2024

This week, as Gladiator II hits the theaters to repeat the same beats of its predecessor and prove that what we do in life truly does echo in eternity, we circle back to the original to cross a movie off of Hayley's list and get her hyped to see some hunks on the IMAX screen. It's 2000's Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Tommy Flanagan and Spencer Treat Clark. A somewhat controversial Best Picture winner at the time, it has remained one of Scott's most celebrated pictures despite hardly being his best. While it may not match the heights of his sci-fi output, it is unquestionably the high-water mark of his Medieval Mode, very much in line with subsequent efforts like Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood and The Last Duel, and is still a hugely entertaining sword-and-sandal revenge epic that lifted its two lead actors to another level of stardom. Plus: We get pissed off about the Coca-Cola AI Christmas commercial.

If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Gladiator is currently streaming (in Canada at least) on both Netflix and Paramount+ at the time of publication.

Other works discussed on this episode include Past Lives, Stop Making Sense, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Aliens, In Cold Water: The Shelter Bay Mystery, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, The X-Files (S5E04 "Detour"), Good Bones, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Holdovers, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Red One, The Brave Little Toaster, Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shadow of the Vampire and Crash, among others.

We'll be back next week to wrap up No-Theme-ber with our monthly canon consideration, as Hayley's got the keys to the vault this month and is using them to induct the Coen Brothers' 2007 crime classic No Country For Old Men, which is currently streaming north of the border on both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
