Next Best Picture Podcast

Please get a de-esser!!! It makes it so hard to listen to even though I find these episodes very interesting - so much so that I skip a lot of the episode or don’t watch it altogether depending on the guest. I’m not alone in this. On the content - I don’t always agree with the reviews and I think the contributor selections can be much more inclusive but overall I still very much enjoy hearing their views. Exception is Elemental - did not like that episode as there were contributors with Asian or immigrant backgrounds, so the reviews were a total miss for me.

Just found this podcast!! And I looove it!! It inspired me to make my own podcast about reviews a little bit more structured! Thank you guys!! I love hearing everyone’s POV.

Mildly entertaining / good background noise, but way too long. Hosts meander, no clear structure to conversations.

I found the content interesting and the movie analysis compelling. However, while I tend to be fairly tolerant of podcast hosts with vocal fry - a habit/tic of an entire generation - the vocal fry displayed by one of the hosts is so grating and intense it felt like a parody of vocal fry. The vocalizations were so distracting that I couldn’t concentrate on the content, which is unfortunate because they were having a great discussion on “Juror #2.” I would either suggest the host hire a voice coach or the podcast find a new host. This is not ableism, as vocal fry is not an innate characteristic - it’s a cultural habit that can be unlearned with hard work. Unfortunately, not every voice is fit for radio, and for the first time in my entire life, I had to stop listening after 30 minutes due to vocal fry.
