• The Next Best Series Podcast: Episode 56 - Our Reactions To The 2025 Emmy Award Winners

  THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL EPISODE. Please check out the full podcast episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture The 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night! Daniel Howat and Giovanni Lago initially joined me to recap the show on Sunday night, but unfortunately, we forgot to hit record. As a result, Giovanni Lago and I were joined by Amy Kim for the first time on the show as a guest to review the winners for our second recording last night. We expected "Adolescence" and "The Studio" to dominate the evening. Still, it was a real nail-biter between "Severance" and "The Pitt" to find out which one would take Outstanding Drama Series. What did we think of the winners, the show's presentation, and Nate Bargatze's hosting? Please tune in to find out as we discuss these points, the speeches, shocking wins, and more in our reactions podcast. This will be our last Next Best Series Podcast episode for now. We don't know when we will return during the Oscar season, but there's still plenty of good television to catch up on. Hopefully, the answer is sooner rather than later. We thank you for all of your support throughout this season and hope you enjoy it! See you soon!
