    Interviews With "Poor Things" Stars Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Director Yorgos Lanthimos & Screenwriter Tony McNamara

    "Poor Things" had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received arguably the best reviews of the festival, winning the Golden Lion for Best Film in the process before screening at the Telluride and New York Film Festivals to equal raves and rapturous response from critics and audiences. The highly creative film is now playing in limited release from Searchlight Pictures, and we have a few interviews from the film we'd like to share with you. First up is my paired interview with the film's leading actress and co-producer, Academy Award-winner Emma Stone, and director and co-producer Academy Award-nominee Yorgos Lanthimos. After that, Ema Sasic speaks with the film's screenwriter, Academy Award-nominee Tony McNamara. And to end, I had a lovely chat with another of the film's stars, Academy Award-nominee Willem Dafoe. The film is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for this year's Academy Awards. Please be sure to check out the film before listening as SPOILERS are discussed. Thank you, and enjoy!

    Interview With "Anselm" Director Wim Wenders

    Interview With "Anselm" Director Wim Wenders

    German filmmaker Wim Wenders is a cinematic legend who has given us many classic films, including "Paris, Texas," "Wings Of Desire," "Until the End of the World," "Buena Vista Social Club," "Pina," "The Salt of the Earth," this year's "Perfect Days" and now, his latest documentary "Anselm." Shot in stunning 3D, the look at German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer's works of art is striking in its form and execution by Wenders. The Academy Award-nominated director was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his latest film, which you can listen to below. The film will receive a limited release from Janus Films this weekend in New York and is up for your consideration for Best Documentary Feature Film. Please be sure to check out the film and take a listen below. Thank you, and enjoy!

    Interview With "Memory" Star Peter Sarsgaard

    "Memory" had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where actor Peter Sarsgaard won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his performance in Michel Franco's latest film. Acting opposite Jessica Chastain, Sarsgaard convincingly plays a man with dementia in a surprisingly uplifting human drama and love story where light can be found in the sometimes darkest places. He was kind enough to spend a few moments of his time following the film's screening at the AFI Film Festival, talking with us about his performance in the film, working with Chastain, Franco, and more. Ketchup Entertainment will give the film an awards qualifying run on December 22nd before releasing it in more theaters on January 5th, 2024. It is eligible for your consideration in all categories, most notably in Best Supporting Actor for Sarsgaard. Please be sure to check out the film and enjoy this wonderful conversation. Thank you!

    Interviews With "May December" Star Charles Melton & Screenwriter Samy Burch

    Interviews With "May December" Star Charles Melton & Screenwriter Samy Burch

    "May December" had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, receiving positive reviews for Todd Haynes' direction, the performances from Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, and Charles Melton, and the writing from Samy Burch. Shortly after its screening at the New York Film Festival (and free of the writer's strike), Samy Burch spoke with Ema Sasic about her experience working on the film. And a few weeks later, after his Gotham win for Outstanding Supporting Performance (and a day before he would go on to win the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor alongside Burch's win for Best Screenplay), Charles Melton gave me a few moments of his time to dig deep into the character of Joe Yoo. The film is now streaming on Netflix and is up for your consideration for the 96th Academy Awards in all eligible categories. Please be sure to check out the film before listening as SPOILERS are discussed. Thank you, and enjoy!

NBP is the best

NBP is my favorite podcast. Everyone celebrates film in a way that is positive and leaves space for every opinion and voice to be heard. I think Matt has created something really special. I love listening to the episodes when they drop!

Hacks

Do you even watch/pay attention to the films before reviewing them?

Great podcast totally disagree with saltburn

Oh man you all are awsome. Great show/ production is really all there

Only chiming in b/c man I can’t believe we disagree about saltburn. In my opinion this film was about the study of a psychopath. And it nailed it. The awkward dinner encounter, strange family reunion + lies about college life.

Totally agree when you touched on the non “eat the rich” / weird to imply the ultra elite would use this as a warning sign.

Anyway thanks for making a wonderful show. Love listening to you all. I don’t write many reviews so if anyone is searching my rating this show is top notch, I just loved this particular film and wanted to chime in lol
