Matt Hagen It can change its face.

Is

that so bad? Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Next Best Picture podcast, where today we are reviewing Clayface, and the story is as follows.

Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham Street Kid to Hollywood-leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss's actions leave him horribly disfigured.

Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting-edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self, but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

The film is starring Tom Reese Harrys, Naomi Ackie, David Denik, Max Minghella, and Eddie Morrison.

It is directed by Tom Watkins.

Except

Matt Neglia.

was...

You forgot the two words, Jeremy.

They're very insular of like, hey, we have a reputation to uphold.

There's been how many years have we've had Matt here talk about this is the best documentary of the year? And the documentary branch would be like, we don't care.

Yeah, we do not care.

They won't nominate it.

If it didn't make it in their five, would not be shocked.

But if the key is when the BAFTA shortlist comes out, And if you can see everything is performing really well on the shortlist, that's when we need to start being like, oh, this is a possibility for BAFTA.

But I agree with what Matt's saying.

PGA is a must.

according to Matt Neglia.

It's just, it's so-

Depressing?

Like, it bothers no one that this game has become completely rigged and fixed.

It's been fixed.

And don't you love how he's such, like, he's like a cam- Like, remember when he would cameo in certain YouTubers' videos and he'd be, like, a, like, everyone would, like, be like, "Whoa, it's Matt Neglia.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Mailbag Monday, episode 511, part of the Next Best Picture podcast.

I am the owner, editor-in-chief of NextBestPicture.com, Matt Neglia.

The time of recording is 104 p.m. on Sunday, October 11th, 2021.

Six, you are hearing this on a Monday now for Mailbag Monday, where you submit fan questions to us over here at Next Best Picture.

I mean.

But, you know, it's the kind of thing that will lead to him getting a nomination at some point for whatever the next thing is he does.

Matthew Anderson, I just heard that Wildwood is now tracking well at the box office.

Assuming this gets terrific reviews but underperforms at the box office worldwide, do you guys still think it is our front runner for the Oscar or will Toy Story 5 squeak in as our default winner? Toy Story 5 is not winning no matter what happens.

And Dan Bear.

Are you a fan of Facebook, Matt?

I have a hunch that you're not a fan of Facebook.

[laughs] Not so much.

It is a generally older demographic, Gen Xers and above, who are on Facebook.

And I, I will say that I was going to talk about this later in terms of the reckoning.

I think Dan was the one who had mentioned earlier it is a, a Boomer film, either Dan or Matt, and they may be the ones that might be m- the most moved by this.

And I have seen it.

Rachel, thank you so much for joining me to speak about Love of Your Life.

Thanks, Matt, for having me.

Fan of your, uh, State of New York.

I appreciate that.
