Not sure if this one has been mentioned before, but I was surprised by how much I liked the film Spontaneous. The premise, which I won't reveal if you want to go in blind, sounds bonkers, but it works. It's a real mashup of genres too. #slashtag
My first two movies of 2021 were Tenet and Edge of Tomorrow.
Both are about bending time to repeat an event to solve a problem. Now that we’ve Iived through mistakes, 2021 will be the reverse of 2020 and start awful, but get a lot better? #slashtagpic.twitter.com/546V9ZCL30
#slashtag I believe @davechensky was waiting for Warrior to arrive on HBO Max. I've been watching it during the Trump Era, and I won't lie -- it has been extremely satisfying to watch white supremacists get a weekly beatdown. It also fictionalizes a lot of real history. twitter.com/angryasianman/…
Happy New Year!
2021 PSA:
Both seasons of Warrior are on HBO Max now.
This is NOT a drill!
Watch this show right now!!!
You will thank me afterwards.

#slashtag Undone on Amazon Prime. Seriously, it’s one of the most incredible and beautiful shows I’ve seen in my life. There’s only one season so far, and it’s only 3.5 hours long. I really encourage Jeff and David to check it out ASAP.
#slashtag reviving my old Twitter just for this. Attack on Titan is airing its final season and will go down as one of the best anime of all time. SO.GOOD. Go watch!
#slashtag This is a wonderful series that for some reason is under the radar #MyBrilliantFriend is an HBO / Italy copro. Based on the fantastic book series by Ellante Ferrante who I believe is also a writer on the show. A commitment but worth it.
#slashtag This is for @Devindra and anyone who hasn’t watched Clone Wars and Rebels. The first couple seasons of Clone Wars are geared towards younger kids but around season 3 the show gets progressively darker and more mature. To the point where it actually explores really
#slashtag My seasonal recommendation is this 2018 festive gem called Anna and the Apocalypse, which is a Christmas zombie musical. Sounds like the worst idea ever, ends up one of the best.
Maybe the most fun I’d had in a theatre besides Booksmart, my crowd had such a blast 🎄
#slashtag BOSS LEVEL - Crank meets Groundhog Day. Time Loops are so hot right now. Really fun flick. You’ll know if it’s for you within the first 3mins. Might not have a US release yet? @slashfilmcast
#slashtag The Repair Shop on Netflix is a lovely English show. People take in family heirlooms, from butter churners to old watches, and a team of specialists fix, paint, refinish them. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
#slashtag@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata SPONTANEOUS came highly recommended and blew away my expectations. I can't remember the last time an ostensible horror/comedy/romance left me with such a full range of emotions.
@jeffcannata For your kids (exact same age as my two), Hilda on Netflix is a wonderful show that sits between Bluey and Miyazaki films, which is a description that doesn’t make sense until you see it. #slashtag
#slashtag "Hinterland" series! Whoo-boy! Three seasons, 90-minute episodes. Brooding and dark, with gorgeous Welsh scenery, plot twists galore and an engaging cast.
@jeffcannata I highly recommend Last Life In The Universe. Its my favorite movie. The 2 main characters are Japanese and Thai and both barely speak english. I loved watching them befriend each other despite their language barrier. #slashtag
@slashfilmcast#slashtag "Babyteeth," streaming on @hulu with great performances from Eliza Scanlen, Essie Davis, and Ben Mendelsohn who you know and Toby Wallace who probably don't
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata#slashtag If Paul Greengrass directed Behind Enemy Lines, it would be ‘71. It’s the best representation of the Troubles conflict in Ireland put onscreen and features a nuanced turn by the always great, Jack O’Connell. On Prime and a must watch
@jeffcannata just listened to the latest @slashfilmcast and can't help but think you've never heard the @HDTGM about crocodile dundee 3. #slashtag Gui Da Gui is about as obscure as I can get in my recs and have to note I haven't seen it since college in 2006.
Two of the most enjoyable films I've watched this year were Prime Originals - 'Blow The Man Down' & 'I'm Your Woman'. The latter was particularly great. Really intense stripped-back thriller with a superb central performance by Rachel Brosnahan. #slashtag
#slashtag I highly recommend watching Blow the Man Down on Amazon Prime. It's a fun dark comedy/crime thriller set in a New England fishing town with a bit of a mystery. 90 minutes.
#slashtag oddly on Cinemax "WARRIOR" is amazingly good, I believe the premise was written by Bruce Lee and is produced by his daughter. 2 Seasons and I believe HBO has bought the rights and we'll see if they continue S3 but overall great sit!
The Small Axe (TV?) series (of films?) on Amazon Prime is very good so far.
The most readily accessible of the first three episodes (especially for us Yanks) would likely be Red, White, and Blue, starring John Boyega.#slashtagpic.twitter.com/OuLChI4nvW
