Linklater’s new movie Apollo 10 1/2 is a nostalgic tone poem memorializing a particular time and place from a particular (child’s) POV. Like a 98-min snippet of Boyhood set completely in Houston/suburbs in the style of Waking Life #slashtag@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky
#slashtag Time Trap (currently on Netflix until April 15th) - an indie sci-fi film about time. Really enjoyed the story, and how things unfolded. Caveats - 1) character lines could have been written better 2) special effects (especially during 3rd act) were on a budget
Just watching Timecop (1994) for the first time. I’ve always heard it was one of the best comic movies from the 90s and after watching I have to say I agree. #Slashtag
I wonder if they will ever do a #Scream Ghostface "Call" via Twitter?The killer wants their story not to be forgotten like the last.Wants the world to watch. No more small town slaughter. #slashtag The killer starts by playing a trivia game that catches the eye of the fandoms...
@jeffcannata I heard you were a Flight of the Navigator fan. Might I suggest this awesome YouTube video about the special effects that went into making the movie? #slashtagyoutu.be/tyixMpuGEL8
Watched the first episode of #HaloTheSeries. It started off shaky but ended strong. I think it has promise. Definitely going to see it through. #Slashtag
Borgen on Netflix is a slow burn political/media drama. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. 3 seasons, with a 4th to drop this spring. #slashtagpic.twitter.com/RdZ3PdYRQ2

#slashtag To the loyal listeners of the Slashfilmcast, the good hosts, Mr. Dave Chen, Mr. Devindra Haardawar & Mr. Jeff Cannata should allow one loyal guest listener to join the Filmcast each month. Just 12 guest loyal listeners a year. Loyal listeners, you what to click. Buy in.
@Devindra#slashtag I’m assuming you’ve already seen it, but A walk among the Tombstones just got added to Netflix. I think it’s Liam Neeson’s best movie and it’s such a good modern noir detective thriller- bonus an awesome David Harbour cameo. Underrated.
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata I realize the chances of you seeing X is slim, but I’m recommending it anyway. Ti West *nails* the 70’s horror movie aesthetic and uses a great cast to provide the boobs and blood the horror crowd is looking for, with themes to boot. #slashtag
@davechensky have you watched No Exit yet? If not, your missing out on an opportunity for one of your very specific Letterboxd lists between this and Kimi. #slashtag
#slashtag Ascension is a documentary about Chinese workers from those in poverty to prosperity with little to no narration. Grade A Cinematography as well. Oscar nom'd this year and rightly so: youtube.com/watch?v=c7Z4DR…
THE BOYS PRESENTS: DIABOLICAL. (Prime Video). Something for Dave, Devindra, and Jeff in this one. I strongly recommend watching in order. And Jeff, don’t find out who wrote them until the episode tells you. (Episode 7 👌) #slashtag
Check out #Minx on @hbomax! It's terrific! Love the cast, especially one of the funniest comedic actresses, Jessica Lowe (@MegaLoweManiac). But brace yourself for lots of full-frontal male nudity. Dong City. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) #minxonmax#slashtag
Sometimes it feels like my wife and I are the only people in the world who watch #Titans because I don’t hear or see anyone else talking about it. It’s not the greatest but we like it and it’s got a really great portrayal of Nightwing, one of the best DC heroes. #Slashtagpic.twitter.com/nCtgjsiwSL
@thefilmcastpod Watch DMZ, guys—an already amazing BKV comic now with the considerable weight of Rosario, Bratt, and Duvernay thrown behind it. Hugely impressed so far. #slashtag
@jeffcannata I skipped fwd 2mins as instructed, but "Beyond 2 Minutes" was still spoiled. I even skipped to the commercial, and learned too late you were still talking about that movie after. Consider editing in how far to skip when posting the show. Thx. #Slashtag@davechensky
A good bad movie has to be bad in a particular kind of way to be enjoyable.
THE WEEKEND AWAY on @netflix is truly terrible, and is uniquely pleasurable in an excruciating sort of way.
#slashtag@thefilmcastpod
@thefilmcastpod@Audioboom It's always hard to say which of the three will be my favorite every year, but Devindra's comments at the beginning on William Hurt and protecting women almost guarantee he'll hold that spot for 2022 <3
#slashtag I did it. I saw Motorama. I am a changed human. youtu.be/JwT9nIZCsO0 A 90s roadtrip movie starring a kid, Drew Barrymore, Jack Nance, Susan Tyrell, John Diehl, Meatloaf AND Flea? Where has Motorama been my whole life?
Summit of the Gods (2021) has incredible emotion and pacing for such an overlooked animated film. Creative use of the medium and hypnotic soundtrack. Highly recommend #Slashtag@Devindra@jeffcannata
#slashtag Lingui is a gorgeously shot, slow burn of a story about a mom & daughter struggling to get an illegal procedure in Chad. Some too convenient plot events, but gr8 performances; fittingly, on Mubi. @jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra
#slashtag How do you do a perfect five minute funny stand up performance centered on your Mother's death ? Watch Maria Bamford here. youtube.com/watch?v=2P6YxP…
This year’s #Oscars animated short film nominees are phenomenal. All five are visual and storytelling works of art. Each one brings something interesting to the table. Highest recommendation. #Slashtagpic.twitter.com/jk3dPmAti9
#slashtag Jeen-yuhs the Kanye West documentary series on Netflix is amazing. Even if you guys are not the biggest Kanye fans I highly recommend it as a really fascinating portrait with some amazing archival footage @jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky
Shazam! Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg isn't worried about the DCEU film competing with James Cameron's Avatar 2 at the box office.

I am giving a strong recommendation of BEYOND THE INFINITE TWO MINUTES to the #SlashTag. But the caveat is that anyone watching it shouldn’t read a word about it. This is a go in blind and be amazed kind of experience. @davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra
@thefilmcastpod not sure if @jeffcannata being a Warriors fan might deter him, but I’d recommend he check out the new Adam McKay HBO show Winning Time about the Showtime Lakers, it’s an exciting show & channels McKay’s Don’t Look Up sensibilities and sense of humor #slashtag
@jeffcannata FRESH was my favorite film at Sundance '22. I think @davechensky really undersells it, especially in not disclosing that it's a "delicious" dark comedy. American Psycho meets Get Out. You can tell Sebastian Stan is having the best time ever in this film. #slashtag
