The Next Best Picture Podcast – “Better Man”

For this week’s main podcast review, I am joined by Ema SasicDan BayerCody Dericks, Will MavityTom O’Brien to review and discuss the latest film from Michael Gracey, “Better Man” starring Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, Alison Steadman & Kate Mulvany. A musical biopic about English poster Robbie Williams, the audacious, R-rated film portrays him on screen through its entire runtime as a CGI monkey with many musical numbers incorporating Robbie’s most famous songs. What did we think of the story, the visual effects, the musical sequences, and the motion-capture performance of Davies combined with Williams’s voiceover? Tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
