Episode 505 - Full TIFF Lineup, NYFF Spotlight Section, "Paper Tiger," "Verity," "Gentle Monster" & "Josephine" Trailers

For Episode 505 of the Next Best Picture Podcast, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna (x.com/laurenlamango), Dan Bayer (x.com/dancindanonfilm), Larry Fried (x.com/_heylarry_) & Tom O'Brien (x.com/thomaseobrien). This week, we're discussing the Spotlight (nextbestpicture.com/the-new-york-film-festival…) section of the 64th New York Film Festival (NYFF), the final additions (nextbestpicture.com/the-toronto-international-…) to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) lineup, and the overall schedule. For this week's NBP poll (nextbestpicture.com/the-polls) question, we're asking everyone, Which World Premieres Are You Most Looking Forward To From The 2026 Toronto International Film Festival? And we reveal the winner of last week's NBP poll (nextbestpicture.com/the-polls), where we asked everyone, "Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To From The NYFF64 Main Slate?" We also share our reactions to the trailers for "Paper Tiger (nextbestpicture.com/paper-tiger)," "Verity (youtube.com/watch?v=xdPMKhjMSFs)," "Gentle Monster (nextbestpicture.com/gentle-monster)," and "Josephine (nextbestpicture.com/josephine)." We are still answering your fan-submitted questions, but our answers will now be released separately the day after, in a new show called Mailbag Monday (nextbestpicture.com/tag/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 (nextbestpicture.com/category/podcast), subscribing (youtube.com/@NextBestPicture), and supporting (patreon.com/NextBestPicture) us. Enjoy!
