What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino’s pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese’s gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher’s dark thriller Seven, PTA’s powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick’s horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan’s massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director’s “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow’s Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Jake Coker and Mick Gillespie are back with a wild mix of college football talk, competitive eating stories, NIL drama and celebrity encounters. Mick shares the unbelievable story of officiating a bologna-eating contest where Joey Chestnut crushed 16 pounds of bologna in eight minutes to set a new world record. The guys also revisit Chestnut’s rivalry with Kobayashi, including Joey’s dominant 83-66 win in their 2024 Netflix showdown. Then the conversation shifts to college football, where Alabama’s win total is getting attention. MGM has the Crimson Tide set at 8.5 wins, but is that too low for Kalen DeBoer’s team — or realistic with Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and a brutal SEC schedule ahead? Jake and Mick also discuss Alabama landing four-star linebacker Kenneth Simon II, the positive buzz around Kane Wommack’s defense, and what Jake is hearing through the grapevine about the Crimson Tide. Plus, the guys break down Lane Kiffin’s Vanity Fair comments on Ole Miss, his move to LSU, the pressure inside Baton Rouge and whether LSU’s NIL machine can help Kiffin finally challenge Alabama at the top of the SEC. Also on the show: Mick’s Tim Burchett story, UFO disclosure talk, the cutthroat NIL landscape, schools struggling to meet financial guarantees and Arkansas cutting its men’s and women’s tennis programs. Topics include: Alabama Football, Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack, Lane Kiffin, LSU Football, Ole Miss, Joey Chestnut, Kobayashi, Tim Burchett, NIL, SEC Football, Arkansas athletics cuts and more. #AlabamaFootball #secfootball #collegefootball #cfb #RollTide #JakeCoker #LaneKiffin #LSUFootball #JoeyChestnut #SECFootball #CollegeFootball #NIL #TheNextRound SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Where does Jake Coker stack up among Alabama’s best single-season passing leaders — and what does that list say about the evolution of Crimson Tide football? On this episode of Last Call, the guys break down Alabama’s all-time single-season passing yard leaders, including Bryce Young, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Ty Simpson, Blake Sims, AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and Jake Coker. The conversation turns into a bigger look at the Nick Saban era, Alabama’s championship standard, and why even a two-loss season felt like a disappointment under Saban.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart made waves with his comments about the state of modern college football — and Mick Gillespie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker are breaking it all down. Smart said the elite Alabama teams from 2012–2015 would “beat the dog out of” today’s college football teams because of one major difference: depth. He believes the game itself has not changed as much as the rosters have, with today’s programs forced to play younger, less-developed players because NIL, the transfer portal, and roster turnover have made it harder to build long-term depth. Jake Coker gives his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback who played under Nick Saban and lived the “Saban Standard” firsthand. Coker discusses how NIL and the transfer portal have changed the culture of college football, why he believes the sport now feels more like “semi-pro football,” and how the loss of player development, senior leadership, and locker-room brotherhood has changed the way championship teams are built. The conversation also dives into Coker’s memories of Alabama practices under Nick Saban and Scott Cochran, including the extreme physicality, mental toughness, and internal accountability that separated the Crimson Tide during its dynasty run. Coker also shares a classic story about one of Saban’s most intense practice rants and how Alabama’s championship culture was built from the inside out. Are Kirby Smart and Jake Coker right? Would the best Alabama teams from the Saban dynasty dominate today’s college football? Or has NIL, the transfer portal, and modern roster management simply changed the sport forever? Topics include: 🏈 Kirby Smart’s comments on Alabama’s roster depth 🏈 Would 2012–2015 Alabama beat today’s college football teams? 🏈 Jake Coker on NIL and the transfer portal 🏈 How college football became “semi-pro football” 🏈 The Saban Standard at Alabama 🏈 Nick Saban practice stories 🏈 Why roster depth and senior leadership mattered 🏈 Georgia football, Alabama football, and the future of the sport #AlabamaFootball #KirbySmart #JakeCoker #NickSaban #GeorgiaFootball #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #TransferPortal #NIL #RollTide SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

The conversation also dives deep into the future of college football spring practice, including why Golesh still supports the current 15-practice model — unless the transfer portal changes the rules. He also explains why spring games matter for young players, what coaches learn from scrimmages, and how to evaluate Byrum Brown after an up-and-down performance. Plus, Golesh opens up about the constant fundraising demands of modern college football, the true cost of roster retention, and why his goal at Auburn is not just to compete — it is to win a national championship. Can Alex Golesh bring a fun, winning brand of football back to Auburn? #AlexGolesh, #AuburnFootball, #AuburnTigers, #SECfootball, #CollegeFootball, #NIL, #ByrumBrown, #TheNextRound, #TransferPortal, #RileyGreen SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

UAB head football coach Alex Mortensen joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation on building the Blazers, recruiting in Birmingham, and how his time at Alabama under Nick Saban shaped his coaching philosophy. Mortensen explains why connecting with the Birmingham community is critical to growing the UAB fan base and why the Blazers’ facilities — including Protective Stadium, the football operations building, practice facilities, and weight rooms — are major selling points in recruiting. He also breaks down what he learned from spring practice, including why UAB’s defense is becoming longer, faster, more competitive, and more relentless. Mortensen discusses the next step for his players: moving beyond knowing what to do and learning the how and why behind elite execution. The conversation also dives into Mortensen’s nine years at Alabama, what he learned from Nick Saban, and how working around offensive minds like Lane Kiffin, Brian Daboll, and Steve Sarkisian helped prepare him for this opportunity. Plus, he shares why he is excited about hiring Todd Grantham as defensive coordinator and how his network of coaches continues to guide him.
