Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's second podcast review, Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago, Brendan Hodges and Tom O'Brien join me to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-winner Wes Anderson, "The Phoenician Scheme" starring Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend & Hope Davis. The film premiered in competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, receiving positive reviews as Wes Anderson films tend to do, but what did we think of it? Wes Anderson is always a hotly discussed filmmaker with a wide range of opinions, and his latest is no different. Please tune in as we discuss the story, characters, performances, style and design, craftsmanship, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening.
