Thank you for the deep and interesting conversations. If you want to listen (and think as you listen!) to nuanced, knowledgeable, and complicated analysis- this is the podcast for all cinephiles.

Why do podcast hosts insist on spoiling the endings of movies they are not discussing? To show off knowledge? Luckily I’ve seen Killing of a sacred Deer, for example, before the Poor Things episode clearly explained the twist ending with no warning.

Along with filmspotting, I attribute all of my movie knowledge from the folks on the next picture show. Even if I haven’t seen the movie yet, I listen to this as soon as it appears in my feed.

This was the best review of a movie I’ve heard in a long time. So insightful and smart and nice to listen to. Thank you. It’s rough out there for the listener sometimes. Lol.

Love every episode- 5 star show

Love the format, deep dives and movie connections.
Greblet via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/15/23
I love the connections these hosts find between movies, I always learn something new.

I’m anxiously awaiting a pairing on your show of two films, one recent and one classic (or maybe two classics) which are set in Hollywood during the transition from silent film to synchronized sound—talkies. The recent film is, of course, Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, and the classic is Singing in...Read full review »

Long live The Dissolve
SkiMaskWay via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/20/22
I’m a big fan of this team, having read them for years on the AV Club and The Dissolve. They are incredibly analytical and constantly surprise me with new insights on films I’ve watched for years. They have a nice rapport and a solid structure they stick to every week (no 3 hour podcasts here.) I...Read full review »

Really grating on the ears “an an annn na nand and…” “eh he he he I mean uh uh um he…” it may just be the way he speaks on the reg but for a podcast & at the length that these are it becomes impossible to ignore. Gather the thought / sentence/ words first - then vocalize it. There’s no need...Read full review »

You all were so kind to ruin this review, bringing up politics in “Black Horror” movies. I certainly mind, hearing your opinions. I came for the review ✌🏽
Sunflowermewithluv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/22
It’s difficult to find film podcasters as thoughtful, informed, and articulate as those on this podcast.
evan_attard via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/28/22
I could listen to Mr. Tobias talk about anything for hours. I’m a fan of Mr. Phipps as well, but unfortunately I find Miss Robinson and Miss Koskie’s remarks about the week’s movie pairing and topics a bit pompous and snobbish. I’m always interested in hearing intellectuals like this quartet...Read full review »

So glad that the classic AV Club/Dissolve folks got the band back together. This podcast is totally absorbing, the perfect blend of smart and funny. Enjoy!

is so thick and out of control i couldn’t last…smh…wow…
cmdm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/21
I’ve checked out basically every noteworthy film-related podcast and NPS is definitely one of my favorites. I don’t listen to every single episode, but when the topic aligns with my own interests, I always find the conversations enlightening. The critics are thoughtful and not afraid to disagree...Read full review »

Thoughtful, in-depth and entertaining discussions about film. Indispensable. I love it dearly.
whyskeletonwhy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/02/21
Feels like gen x - millenial bonding sessions. The format seemed gimmicky to me at first, but I've found the number of interesting connections between movies a pleasant surprise. Thoughtful conversation without smugness.Read full review »
Not Michiku Kakutani via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
hmm
Used to really enjoy the podcast but have slowly began to be more picky on the episodes. There is a smugness that has creeped in and I always think to these critics, films do not owe you anything stop acting like it does.
One of the ladss via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/21/21
I love this podcast and learn so much from it! No movie seems to be good enough for Tasha which is very annoying and pretentious to me as a listener. I appreciate the other hosts perspectives and how they push back on Tasha who seems to need the last word. One star for the Britney Spears and...Read full review »
mic-check1212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/21
My favourite podcast, and the only one whose Patreon account I signed up to as soon as it launched. One criticism – I wish the hosts would cover more films from the 1940s and 1950s, and fewer from the last thirty years. In 260 episodes (as of January 2021), they've covered only five films...Read full review »

Smug and boring windbaggery.
DumplingDiva via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/21
Ugh
I had high hopes, but this is just another bunch of eggheads whining about masculinity porn.
Gman Brad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/20
That’s a combo that’s just waiting to be discussed! Also, thank you very much for your informed and thoughtful discussions and analyses.
Filmspotting via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/20
The hosts are really pleasant to listen to. The two-episode movie parallels are very well done and a great idea. Highly recommend it.

Ugh! Stop! You’re murdering my ears! Never have I used so many of exclamation points sequentially! Thanks.
featherpod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
One of the things I've been very disappointed with in terms of most podcasts is their lack of consistency in regards to format. This one follows a meaningful and thought out format in every episode. This makes it feel refreshing and professional which also lends to an air of authority that is...Read full review »

I’ve been reading / listening to Tasha, Keith, Scott, Genevieve, etc, ever since the days of The AV Club & AV Talk. With all the changes in the world & media landscape, I find it very comforting that they’re still around via this podcast delivering intelligent film discussion together.
Prime Time Pauly G via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/20
Always intelligent and on point.
Blurgh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/20
I’ve heard all of the reminders to rate and review since the very beginning but haven’t heeded the call till now. Please forgive me. Podcast is great.
Svenjayne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/20
Pairing a classic with a contemporary movie and discussing similarities, differences, developments, ephemera and monumental issues never ceases to interest me. I am grateful in particular for the chance to (re-)discover movies that I never heard of or had long forgotten. Thanks, team.

the dissolve was the best film website! i'm glad we at least have this podcast! a great format if people are willing to do a little homework. your assignment is to watch an older, classic film to pair with a new release, so it's fun homework. the four hosts cover a lot of ground and have...Read full review »
all nickanes are already taken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/20
I treat this podcast like my own personal virtual movie club. It’s a very welcoming gateway to older films that promises engaging analysis/conversation as a reward for sometimes taking tough steps towards hitting play on a 1950s B/W movie you never knew existed. This podcast is all about the...Read full review »
SMRTALEC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/20
This podcast always shares such a great perspective on films and in fact has been a great way to catch up on classic films I’ve not yet seen. After I listen to any episode of this pod it feels like I’ve gotten a full understanding of the film and it’s cultural context. They don’t talk a ton about...Read full review »
ned_schneebly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
Hands down one of the film podcasts with the most satisfying mix of smart, funny and thoughtful hosts/co-hosts; it always makes for an interesting and dynamic conversation (and thank god for not being a 100% dude-fest like so many ofter film-pods). I also really love the concept of pairing a new...Read full review »
Math Larsson via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 04/28/20
For example in the Godzilla episode, someone calls the Raymond Burr version “comically butchered” immediately after say they’d never seen that version, and were not only unaware that it existed until the Criterion release, then admitted that she didn’t know that the version she owned had the...Read full review »

Maybe my favorite movie podcast.

The Next Picture Show really is a fantastic podcast. The cast is what makes this Podcast SO good, they are insightful, smart and bring thoughtful opinions about the latest and past movies. I never miss a podcast, even when they do a movie I am not interested in seeing....they are that good. Peter...Read full review »

I’ve been looking for a film podcast of this caliber for a long time. None of the others do it for me, and I’ve had to settle for kiddie stuff like “Blank Check” until now. So thanks to everyone involved in making this, and I’ll put in the time to catch up starting... now.
Patrick H Brownson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
Two thumbs up all-around. Thank you for your hard work, next picture podcast!
chrismeades20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/20
One of the better podcasts about film that I have listened to. The biggest difference is that it is actually about the movies and not the presenters though the three or four people doing the show are knowledgeable and engaging. The concept of pairing two films for linkages is a good angle that...Read full review »

Having just listened to Episode 205 ... I am responding to the plea for enough reviews to reach 100. Done! I also just saw “Knives Out” and listening to your reviews was almost as good as seeing it a second time (which I will probably do over the holidays). Big fan of your podcast ... may...Read full review »

I love movie podcasts and they make some great connections but Jesus Christ there was too many ads.
Cinephile123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/19
Today’s Clue episode sealed the deal. There was nothing interesting said about this film and some of the analysis actually wrong. It hadn’t been decades since this genre was around. Murder on the Orient Express was a little over a decade before which was followed by a slew of ensemble cast...Read full review »
