Stop what you're doing & please read Dancin' Dan in MovieLand's great review of Mike Cheslik's HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS, a stellar feat of film lunacy that mashes up Chaplin & Looney Tunes into a one-of-a-kind delight. Dan gets to the heart of what makes this comedy one of 2024's best films.

If 'Oppenheimer' was your first exposure to Christopher Nolan (or even if you've seen all of his films), you owe it to yourself to give a listen to this (really!) in-depth podcast review of one of his very best, INCEPTION.

Reactions to today's Cannes lineup abound today, but you won't find one as through or insightful as Matt Neglia's analysis of what to expect from this year's exciting lineup. Matt & Josh Parham will be on the ground in Cannes for #NBP in May, but check out Matt's preview now:

The center of the film exhibition world is in Las Vegas this week with #CinemaCon2024 , and #NBP 's Daniel Howat is there on the ground covering everything for us. So if you really want to know what's going on (including reactions to THE FALL GUY and BABES), give Daniel Howat @ CinemaCon a follow!

A little Chaplin, a lot of Looney Tunes and a touch of Guy Maddin are the hallmarks of Mike Cheslik’s ridiculously inventive HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS. With a laugh rate of 6-7 jokes in each of its 108 minutes, I laughed myself silly at this one-of-a-kind comedy. #HundredsOfBeavers

Among giant spider movies, STING is a rather low-key affair set within the walls of a icebound Brooklyn tenement. Aussie director Kiah Roache-Turner makes the most of his limited budget as the big bug scoots thru the A/C ducts to kill. Arachnophobics should stay away. #StingMovie

From 17th Century feudal Japan and a snowbound Alaskan town to WWII aviators and the 1950s' 'lavender scare,' this year's top Emmy contenders for Limited Series offer a wide range of compelling choices. Check out my latest blog post, where I handicap who's ahead in this hot race!

With a nervy performance by #CalebLandryJones at its center, Luc Besson's DOGMAN had it within its grasp to be a moving look at an wounded soul who tries to rise above his tormented childhood to find a worthy life. But sadly it lapses into one more Besson crime thriller. #Dogman

This week, Matt Neglia, Josh Parham, Dancin' Dan in EARTHQUAKE?! Land & I bid farewell to the Oscar season just past and turn our attention to the juicy new films ahead of us in 2024. Do we speculate on their Oscar chances? I'll give you one guess. Plus 2 trailers, the polls & YOUR questions!

Romanian provocateur Radu Jude's #DoNotExpectTooMuchFromTheEndOfTheWorld is at times simply cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, at others brilliantly insightful. Yes it's overlong, but it's a film filled with big swings from a one-of-a-kind talent. For more, check out my full review below.

In case you missed it in theaters, Frederick Wiseman's enthralling MENUS-PLAISIRS LES TROISGROS premieres tonight on #PBS . It's a dazzling addition to the already distinguished filmography of a brilliant filmmaker. For my full #NBP review, just click below nextbestpicture.com/menus-plaisirs…

Now seated (probably for a good long time) for MADONNA!

Ignore the internet wet blankets who say it's way too early to talk about next year's Oscars. Too early, you say? We're Next Best Picture, for God's sake, and for us, it's never too early! So click below and support Daniel Howat, who bravely offers some smart picks for Oscars 2025!

Please take a moment to read Robert's wrap-up of this year's Oscar race and Sunday's ceremony. His is one of the very best takes out there.

Do you have to fill out your office Oscar pool today? NBP is here to help. Please listen in as I join Matt Neglia, Josh Parham, Dancin' Dan in Oscar Land, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat as we predict all 23 categories, including the toughies: the shorts, Best Visual Effects & Best Actress!
