For Episode 170, Michael Schwartz, Casey Lee Clark, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Tom O'Brien & I give you our preview for the madness that is about to begin: the precursors. Phase 2 of the Awards Season kicks off in full every year post Thanksgiving and this week we have the IFP Gotham Awards, then the National Board of Review (NBR), then the New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), the AFI Top 10 films of 2019, the Critics Choice Award Nominations and more! All of this is happening in just the first week and we're here to discuss what we think might happen and what it all could mean going forward in the weeks ahead. We also go over the polls, answer your fan questions and more! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
