The Next Best Picture Podcast – “The Long Walk”

For this week’s main podcast review, Dan Bayer and Giovanni Lago join me to review and discuss “The Long Walk,” starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Josh Hamilton, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill. It is an adaptation of Stephen King’s 1979 novel of the same name, written by “Strange Darling” filmmaker JT Mollner and directed by “The Hunger Games” filmmaker Francis Lawrence. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the themes, direction, performances, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
