Looking at cinema's present via its past. The Next Picture Show is a biweekly roundtable by the former editorial team of The Dissolve examining how classic films inspire and inform modern movies. 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.

It’s understandable that new Dreamworks feature THE WILD ROBOT pulls some of its source code from THE IRON GIANT, considering the latter’s towering reputation as one of the greatest animated films ever, robot protagonist or otherwise. But the enduring legacy of Brad Bird’s debut feature was far from assured when it blipped through theaters back in …

It’s the 25th episode of The Brum Picture Show! We thought we’d celebrate this momentous occasion by not mentioning the recently released Joker: Folie à Deux, not even in passing. We will however be discussing our favourite Anti-heroes in films, the morally dubious protagonists of the big screen who we love to hate, or hate to love. We’ll be discus…

The Roods return from hiatus for the Halloween season by jumping into Mike Flanagan's 2021 masterpiece Midnight Mass. The guys are breaking down the show episode by episode so please watch along with us as we share our thoughts on this unique limited series. Who Is On First Phil's Blog Child Star Achewillow Book…

Azazel Jacobs’ HIS THREE DAUGHTERS is, like Tamara Jenkins’ THE SAVAGES, a film about the heartbreaking experience of caring for an aging parent, but even more so it is, also like the other film in the pairing, about adult siblings reuniting and renegotiating their relationships under those fraught conditions. We’re decidedly more mixed on Jacobs’ …

Caring for an elderly or infirm parent is a common experience that is less commonly depicted on screen, particularly with a comedic bent, which is why Azazal Jacobs’ new HIS THREE DAUGHTERS inspired us to revisit the 2007 dramedy THE SAVAGES, which writer-director Tamara Jenkins drew from her own experiences dealing with a father with dementia. Muc…

The spooky season is on its way, so on this week’s show we thought we’d talk about everyone’s favourite frizzy-haired Disney animator turned goth poster-boy, Tim Burton. We’ll be discussing films from his illustrious career, from the nightmarish in a good way to the nightmarish in a bad way (we’re looking at you Alice in Wonderland). Alongside our …

Jeremy Saulnier’s REBEL RIDGE puts a distinctly 2020s spin on the one-man army formula established in the era-defining ‘80s action hit FIRST BLOOD, resulting in a film with more nuance, less firepower, and equal amounts of ass-kicking. We parse that equation a bit more in-depth in our spoiler-light discussion of REBEL RIDGE, before bringing back FI…

Genre specialist Jeremy Saulnier’s latest banger, REBEL RIDGE, owes an obvious debt to the film that kicked off Sylvester Stallone’s second long-running franchise, 1982’s FIRST BLOOD, but the two films are of very different eras with very different core concerns about policing in America. So this week we’re focusing on the shadow of Vietnam that fa…

Screen B14 and The Mockingbird Cinema are teaming up again to screen Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, so we thought we’d discuss its director this week. That’s right, it’s Hollywood’s favourite controversial Uncle, Paul Schrader! Whilst perhaps most famous for bringing the world Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, he has had a prolific career which w…

Fede Álvarez’s ALIEN: ROMULUS is at its core an act of homage to the larger franchise, but is that a feature, a bug, or both? That’s a question we attempt to reconcile in our discussion of Álvarez’s acid-blood-soaked film, before comparing how this late-stage sequel compares with the franchise’s original sequel, James Cameron’s ALIENS, in iterating…

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…
