About this episode

The episode discusses new Oscar rules, reactions to various film trailers, and includes audience poll questions.

For Episode 490, with one week before we set off for Cannes, I am joined by Katie Johnson, Dan Bayer, Amy Kim, and Tom O'Brien as we discuss the new rules announced by the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for the 99th Oscars and Audiences. For this week's poll question, to tie into the announcement, we're asking everyone: "Which Film Festival Prize Winner From The Last Decade Would You Have Nominated For The Oscar Under The New Best International Feature Rules?" and reveal the winner of last week's poll, for the release of "The Devil Wears Prada 2," where we asked, "Which Of Meryl Streep's Oscar Nominations Is Your Favorite?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "Verity," "Resident Evil," "One Night Only," "Jackass: Best And Last," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, subscribing, and supporting us. We hope you enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
