Podcast cover: The Big Picture

The Big Picture

A film review podcast from The Ringer covering the week’s key movie releases with sharp analysis and lively discussions. Episodes feature top fives, movie drafts, Oscar predictions, and guest appearances from directors, actors, and Ringer colleagues like Chris Ryan. It blends cinephile insights with accessible takes on cinema’s biggest stories and trends.

Sean and Amanda open the show by covering myriad movie news headlines, including the status of Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Artificial’, new footage released of Tom Cruise in his highly anticipated film, ‘Digger,’ and the Academy inviting 529 members, including Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, Josh O’Connor, and more. Then, Sean and Amanda use the new DC film, ‘Supergirl,' which they found creatively and technically empty, as a springboard to have a wide-ranging conversation about the decline in importance of  superhero movie culture. Finally, Chris Ryan joins the show to discuss the (potentially) final film of the ‘Jackass’ franchise: ‘Jackass: Best and Last’, a movie they all thoroughly enjoyed.
