Summary

What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino’s pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese’s gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher’s dark thriller Seven, PTA’s powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick’s horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan’s massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director’s “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow’s Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.
