Summary

For Episode 452, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and I recap and break down this massive week of film festival announcements including the full lineup for the 2025 Venice Film Festival, a majority of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) lineup, the Opening and Centerpiece announcements for the New York Film Festival, and what this all means for the Telluride Film Festival. For this week's poll, for Venezia 82 (mainly because we at least have the full lineup for this one), we ask, "Which Film From The 2025 Venice Film Festival Are You Most Looking Forward To?" And for last week's poll, for the first time this season, we asked, "Which Film Do You Feel Will Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" and we reveal your top 10 early results for this almighty important question. We also share our reactions to the trailers for Park Chan-wook's much-anticipated "No Other Choice," Aziz Ansari's "Good Fortune," Clint Bentley's "Train Dreams," Oliver Hermanus' "The History Of Sound," Rob Reiner's "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," the A24 English dubbed re-release of "Ne Zha 2," reveal the 2009 NBP Film Community Award Nominations, answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! We will post the 2009 NBP Film Community Award nominations on the site for you to vote on tomorrow. Thank you all for listening, supporting, subscribing, and voting. You're all the very best fans we could ever ask for, and we look forward to seeing you all again next week! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
