"Origin"
For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by\xa0Ema Sasic,\xa0Josh Parham,\xa0Dan Bayer\xa0&\xa0Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the latest film from Ava DuVernay, "Origin," starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman & Blair Underwood. Making its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion, the dramatic adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson's life and novel "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" was one of 2023's most unique and powerful films. What did we think of it? Should it have been made into a documentary instead of a feature film? How do we feel about its awards season campaign? Tune in as we discuss these points, the writing, direction, acting, its Oscar potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!\n\nCheck out more on NextBestPicture.com\n\nPlease subscribe on...\nSoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcast\nApple Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2\nSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jT\nYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWA7KiotcWmHiYYy6wJqwOw\nAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\nLearn more about your ad choices.
