2022 has been a year of experimentation here at The Next Picture Show — and it's all failed. Specifically, we decided to streamline our episodes because they were starting to feel too long. So we brought Feedback and Your Next Picture Show over here and they ended up feeling kind of neglected.

But they're back on the show, now, by popular demand. We might limit the number of letters we read in the episode and we're going to cap the Your Next Picture Show contribution at one host per episode.

The second feature is all on us, but Feedback is up to you. So drop us a a line at comments@nextpictureshow.net. Or, leave something in the comments below. Or tweet at us. We're easy to reach!

Hey, here are even some suggestion topics:

RRR: Have you seen it? It's nuts. But there's a lot going on beneath the surface, too. Scott wrote about it this week for The Reveal.

Jurassics World and Park: We're getting jurassic with our next pairing but you don't have to wait until the episodes drop to weigh in on the movies. Regarding the Jurassic World series, are they really just about Chris Pratt holding out his arms, as this Miles Klee piece for Mel suggests?

Pixar: We're not featuring Lightyear on the show but we are (probably) doing a bonus episode. Since this kind of brings the company full circle back to Toy Story, does anyone have thoughts on the state of Pixar these days?

Are movie theaters back?: Well, are they? We've had some big hit movies this year. Are you optimistic about where things are going two years after the lockdown?

Whatever: No, seriously, whatever. Even if we don't answer your feedback on the show, we'll try to address it here.

I'm hoping you do a Top Gun / Top Gun: Maverick pairing, as I can't get enough Cruise talk

I really appreciate you guys trying new things with the podcast and branching out, but I also think it's the right decision to being Feedback and Your Next Picture Show into the main show. I know you're pretty sparing with your TV coverage, but it would be interesting to hear movie/TV pairings like Watchmen, The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Irma Vep.

Very glad to hear that you're bringing the feedback and YNPS back into the show, as I did enjoy hearing what people had enjoyed engaging with, and I especially liked the discussion that would result from the feedback. One suggestion (I actually made this suggestion in the earlier thread - but I posted a few days later, so it may have been missed) - keep the YNPS as part of the main show, but split the feedback out into a separate episode. I'm not asking for a full hour-long feedback show - in terms of podcast time it can be exactly the same as the current feedback segment, just in a stand-alone 10 minute episode. That way, if I haven't yet managed to watch a pairing (say, if the new film hasn't come out in my country yet), I can still listen to later episodes and easily save the feedback for when I've seen the relevant film.

Here’s a question for “feedback”: Tasha mentioned on the Army of Darkness episode that she was prepared to tap out of the originally planned episode on Darkman, and I’m curious to hear why. I watched it recently to prepare for the Blank Check podcasts’ episode on it and found it almost demented by contemporary superhero standards in terms of its style. However, I’d love to hear Tasha’s view.
