Episode 385 - Early 2024 Oscar Contenders, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" & "Alien: Romulus" Trailers

A podcast by NextBestPicture.com that reviews the latest film releases and discusses various topics within the world of film and the awards race.

TV & Film

Anthony Boyle has taken over Apple TV+. The Irish star, previously best known for roles in The "The Plot Against America," "Tolkien," and "Tetris," stars in two Emmy-contending limited series for the streamer. In the World War II epic "Masters Of The Air," Boyle is Air Force Lieutenant Harry Crosby, a good man determined to get his boys home safely, with Boyle's narration grounding the lush, character and CGI-heavy series. But Boyle's talent truly shines in the stark contrast between his roles. In "Manhunt," he takes on the infamous American villain John Wilkes Booth, a role that required a completely different physicality and mental preparation from the Olivier-winning theater actor turned TV star. In conversation with Boyle, what stands out most is not just his impressive range, finally on proper display for American audiences, but also the careful consideration Boyle took in crafting these intimate portrayals. Please be sure to check out the shows, which are now available to stream on AppleTV+ and are up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

How do we feel about the dark rural drama all these years later? Please tune in and listen to Ema Sasic, Lauren LaMagna, Dan Bayer, Alyssa Christian, Danilo Castro & Will Mavity, and I discuss our thoughts on the direction, writing, performances, atmosphere, tone, cinematography, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
