A movie which I don't see mentioned often but I really love is We Are Going To Eat You (1980) by Tsui Hark. Hearing people talk about cannibalism in Yellowjackets made me think of it the other day. imdb.com/title/tt008063…#slashtag
I’m obsessed with Station Eleven. I’m on my second watch through, and I’m finding myself somehow even more emotionally affected. Multiple weeps per episode. Also obsessed with the score by @Dan_romer. @jeffcannata - I think you’d like this show, a lot. #slashtag
@thefilmcastpod I heard Devindra dismissively mention Dexter: New Blood while discussing Showtime, but it’s better than you think. And it’s a limited series that has a definite conclusion. Give it a chance. #slashtag@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra
Be sure to check out Somebody Somewhere with Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller on HBOmax. Such a great first episode! I can't wait to see where it goes. #slashtag
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata First great new show of 2022 is Archive 81 on Netflix. It’s an adaptation of the podcast of the same name. It takes the mystery and intrigue done so well in the podcast while carving its own identity as a tv show. Worth watching. #slashtag
Archive 81 off to a good start. I liked the podcast, so this is my jam. Strange recordings, mysterious buildings, and cosmic horror. And cool to see Mamoudou Athie from the "OH Jerome, NO" segments of FX's Cake. Check it out. #slashtagpic.twitter.com/Oa040L79Lz
The House on Netflix. Erroneously labeled as a three part TV series, is a phenomenally weird, sometimes creepy, but always alluring animated film from the co-writer of Hunger. I was enthralled and entranced. Sucked in by its surrealist, cheeky and demented story. #slashtag
Hope the guys are going to give #Peacemaker a shot. First 2 episodes were great and it has maybe the greatest opening credits sequence in television history! #slashtag
@jeffcannata Got a #slashtag recommendation for you specifically: The Humans, available to stream on Hulu. I did not like this movie much personally--but I am CONFIDENT you will love it. I won't say anything else about it so you can remain unsullied.
“Bir Başkadır” (English title: “Ethos”) is a Turkish Netflix original series. It perfectly demonstrates the life in Turkey, the complexity of Turkey, and the separation between people with different social backgrounds. The acting, music and cinematography is excellent.

If you like political thrillers, watch *Azor* (MUBI), 1 of my Top 10 & a superb debut feature; a slow-boil that subverts expectations w/a clinical precision & chilling modern perspective, plus a sparse, snyth-tinged score that increases the unease until you're cooked.

Finished my rewatch of X-Men the animated series on Disney+ moving on to Iron Man: The Animated Series. Haven’t watched this since I was a kid, so much nostalgia. #Slashtagpic.twitter.com/EgXKbidsE8
#slashtag I know your all's mileage with the Kingsmen series has varied but I'd still highly recommend The King's Man. It is a peculiar war film for sure, but ends up having a stirring anti-war message that really elevates Kingsmen as a franchise in my estimation.
#slashtag After watching The Rescue, I felt like watching another documentary and came across 14 Peaks on Netflix. I can't recommend it enough. Nims, the Nepalese climber at the center of it, is absolutely fascinating and captivating.
Black Summer on Netflix is a _ride_. Really good acting punctuated by crazy action scenes and tons of "oners" that hold you in the scene. S1 was good but S2 was fantastic. #slashtag

Succession is a great TV show, but Landscapers on HBO is a great piece of art.
4 episodes long. Amazing, unique and surprising direction. Unsurprisingly great performances by fantastic actors. I believe it to be right in the @jeffcannata wheelhouse.
Go in blind.

Just watched the new doc Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time, an inspiring & heartbreaking film by @BobWeide. If you’re one of the people like me whose outlook on life was majorly shaped by reading Vonnegut, you must seek this out. #slashtag@VonnegutDoc
#Slashtag - Identifying Features.
A disregarded post apocalyptic side of the Mexican Border Crisis. @davechensky I think this could have been a contender of your 2021 best of list.
#slashtag I know you all seemed to like or love Nine Days, which I loved too.
As a perfect chaser, please watch *After Life*. Hirokazu Kore-eda’s 1998 masterpiece. It’s on Criterion Channel or DM me for other options. I watched it bc I loved Shoplifters. I think you’ll LOVE it.
Just want to add my top Aussie flick of 2021 to the #slashtag : Nitram. A riveting portrayal of the incredulous events that led up to the Port Arthur massacre. Caleb Jones deserves all the awards for his acting, and I think its one of the best Aussie films of recent times.
#slashtag A movie I've watched twice since catching it on Netflix a few weeks ago - "Coming Home in the Dark" deserves a mention on @thefilmcastpod. Harrowing and tense - NOT A JEFF CANNATA FILM.
My daughter loves the #StarWars Forces of Destiny shorts on Disney+. They are about 2-3 mins long and kid friendly. Great way to introduce kids to Star Wars. #Slashtag
@jeffcannata A last minute film recommendation for you. The Humans is a stage play adaptation. People in rooms talking which I know you are a fan of. Plus Richard Jenkins! #slashtag
#slashtag The Summit of the Gods: a beautifully animated adaptation of a compelling manga (based on a novel) about obsession and mountaineering, driven by fictional speculation surrounding Chomolungma (aka Everest) history. @jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra
#slashtag Check out HBO Europe’s Beforeigners. Premise: people from the past (Victorian, Stone Age, etc) start appearing in the modern day. Buddy cop setup like Alien Nation but with time-traveling “others.” @Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata
Old Henry is riveting. Best Western I've seen this year. Career best performance by Tim Blake Nelson. Hope one of you can check it out before the top 10 show #slashtag
Really need the @thefilmcastpod guys to see Mass before the Best of episode is recorded. I agree with a few others, it is the best film of 2021. And no one has seen it, but just hit VOD. Jason Issacs should get an Oscar for his performance. Best to go in TOTALLY BLIND. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata If you need a half hour comedy, Kyle Mooney's Saturday Morning All Star Hits is one of the most absurdly hilarious things I've watched all year. It rewards you to keep watching it! #slashtag
