For Episode 508 of the Next Best Picture Podcast, I am joined by Amy Kim & Dan Bayer. We are back from the Venice/Telluride/TIFF film festivals, and we have a lot to unpack regarding the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), from the films we saw there to the recently announced award winners. We also deliver a preview of the New York Film Festival (NYFF), which has had press screenings over the past couple of days but officially kicks off this week with the North American premiere of “Paper Tiger.” For this week’s NBP poll question, we’re asking everyone, “Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To From The New York Film Festival (NYFF)?” And we reveal the winner of last week’s NBP poll, where we asked everyone, “Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing From The 2026 Telluride Film Festival?” We also share our reactions to the trailers for “You Can See Everything,” “Artificial,” “Love Of Your Life,” “Remain,” “Tenzing,” “The Mosquito Bowl,” and “Sacrifice.” We are still answering your fan-submitted questions, but we’ll now release our answers separately the next day in a new show called Mailbag Monday. So stay tuned for that and many other updates from Next Best Picture as this year’s awards season continues. Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us. Enjoy!
