Episodes take a deep dive into a classic film and its legacy in the first half, then compare and contrast that film with a modern successor in the second. Hosted and produced by Genevieve Koski, Keith Phipps, Tasha Robinson and Scott Tobias.

Fede Álverez’s ALIEN: ROMULUS is so reference-packed that an argument could be made for pairing it with just about any ALIEN film, but since we’ve already discussed the 1979 original, and because the Next Picture Show bylaws state that if an opportunity to discuss ALIENS arises we must take it, we’re digging into the first of the many sequels this …

In space, no one can hear Nadine and Paul discuss the Alien franchise in excruciating detail. But on Brum radio, everyone can! In this very special bumper episode, we’ll be taking a deep-dive into one of the most beloved yet divisive franchises of all time. We’ll be discussing problematic pre-productions, difficult directors, and confusing chronolo…

Is it a bit unfair to compare M. Night Shyamalan’s new grip-it-and-rip-it thriller TRAP to Fritz Lang’s 1931 cinematic landmark M? Sure, but that’s the name of the game here on The Next Picture Show, and for all of TRAP’s faults — which we try not to take too much glee in enumerating in this discussion — it does work, however awkwardly, as an extra…

The new TRAP, like so many M. Night Shyamalan movies, openly courts comparisons to the work of Alfred Hitchcock, but its focus on the large-scale manhunt for a serial killer combined with its psychological interest in said killer has roots even further back in film history. So this week we reach all the way back to Fritz Lang’s first talkie, 1931’s…

On this week’s show, to celebrate Screen B14 and The Mockingbird Cinema’s screening of Gaspar Noé’s cinematic bad trip, Enter the Void, we’ll be taking a magical mystery tour through psychedelic cinema. From the colourful, to the wacky, to the downright disturbing, we’ll be discussing a kaleidoscopic array of films to take your mind off reality, fr…

Osgood Perkins’ new LONGLEGS shares some clear narrative and thematic DNA with THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but it’s much more bizarre and divisive in its approach to horror-adjacent serial killer storytelling than Jonathan Demme’s crowd-pleasing, Oscar-sweeping hit. We’re joined again this week by critic and author Charles Bramesco to talk through th…

On this week’s show, to celebrate the release of tornado-based blockbuster Twisters, we’re going to be talking about disaster movies! Prepare for a whirlwind of fascinating facts as we discuss the history of the genre, the fetishisation of destruction on screen, and what would happen if Godzilla came to Birmingham. We’ll also be welcoming back an o…

There’s no doubt that director Osgood Perkins had Jonathan Demme’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in mind when he made the new LONGLEGS, but there are as many fascinating contrasts as there are comparisons between these two films about inexperienced female FBI agents and seasoned serial killers. But before getting into those next episode, this week we’re…

Pulitzer-winning playwright Annie Baker’s filmmaking debut JANET PLANET is sort of a dual coming-of-age story, centering a young girl’s fascination with her single mother who is still figuring out her own place in the world. But it also resists broad statements and neat conclusions, giving us space to unpack our own interpretations of the emotional…

Do you like scary movies? If so, you’ve come to the right place! To celebrate the release of MaxXxine, the third instalment of Ti West’s X trilogy, we’re going to be taking a stab at covering the slasher genre in blood-curdling detail! We’ll be discussing the most iconic masked killers of cinema, from Leatherface to Ghostface, and we’ll even be dis…

The new JANET PLANET follows a young girl who comes to see the world differently thanks to a succession of people her hippyish single mother brings into their lives, and more specifically into the home they share. Its sense of the fraught sense of intimacy that accompanies cohabitation by family members and lovers brought to mind Lukas Moodysson’s …

When thinking of a film to pair with INSIDE OUT 2, we purposefully avoided the new Pixar sequel’s 2015 original because the two are so of a piece, delving into the contrasts between them seemed too much like nitpicking. Still, we attempt to make fruitful discussion out of those nitpicks in this week’s conversation about the new film, and perhaps ev…

On this week’s show we’ll be partying like it’s 1999! To celebrate Screen B14’s upcoming screening of Buena Vista Social Club we’ll be discussing other films released in the final year of the 20th century. Is it just a random year or one of the best and most culturally significant years in movie history? Alongside even more movie donkey news (due t…

INSIDE OUT 2 is quite literally built around the emotional experience of being a young girl, but it wasn’t too long ago that this was uncharted territory for Pixar. That’s why rather than comparing the animation studio’s latest sequel to the original, we’re reaching a little further back in the filmography to revisit its first attempt to tell a sto…

The new FURIOSA functions as both a prequel and a sequel within the larger mythology of the MAD MAX franchise, and we’re looking at it from both of those angles this week. First, we talk over why George Miller’s latest might have flopped at the box office (prequel fatigue) and why it feels poised to overcome that reputation in due time (it is the r…

With the release of The Watched, directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night, we thought we’d take a look at nepotism in the movie world this week. We’ll be getting all serious for once and discussing why the prevalence of Nepo babies in Hollywood is such a problem for those from a less privileged background trying to break into the in…
