#slashtag@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata yall im just throwing it out there that Cinema Paradiso is so heartwarming and emotional, one of the greatest films ive ever seen, and newly relevant to the times. Also Dave, the directors cut is 3+ hours š
The fans of the /Filmcast podcast are the clear winners of the summer movie wager, as yāall didnāt compete. š š
So, as punishment, you should watch the 1982 Barry Bostwick action thriller āMegaforceā and review it on the next podcast. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata#slashtag You have to check out Raised by Wolves on HBO Max. This is one of the best Sci-fi TV shows ever made. It flew under my radar but I watched an episode and it blew me away. If youāve ever liked Ridley Scott you need to check this out.
I just watched 'Imitation of Life' (1959) and I'm honestly shocked that this isn't a more well-known classic. I think it's better than 'Sunset Boulevard' and 'Casablanca' and it deals with still-relevant issues in ways more progressive than many modern movies! #slashtagpic.twitter.com/ZmA8iVfomf
I am on a quest to watch happy things and Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist (on Hulu/Peacock) is delightful. It's breezy, colorful and charming and will leave you with a smile on your face. Watch it with your significant other. #slashtag
I used to think we were headed for civil war after Nov. Iām starting to suspect that American apathy will prevail as it always seems to. Sure there will be marching. Sure there will be twitter memes. But ultimately, the dude wonāt leave office and it will somehow be normalized.
@jeffcannata Google Gaddafi and steel pipe. If Trump loses and doesn't leave he will be suffer same fate.
In less gory news. Just submitted my first #slashtag š¤”
"Alone" is a surprisingly well directed, effective horror film with a kick ass female lead which gave me second thoughts about kidnapping strangers. #slashtagimdb.com/title/tt771117ā¦
Anti police shit has to stop. I am sitting in the ER w/the most important person in my life, also a LEO, who was on duty & hit in the face by a fucker that threw a bottle out of their car, as they yelled anti police crap. Should I be happy it was only a bottle?
@ElliotIsTopDog Iām so sorry. I am married to a cop and have 3 sons on the job. Me, I want to give back to the rioter community. Fun stuff to come. #slashtag š¤š»
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra I feel like you've maybe mentioned it in the past because I know you all liked Chef, but Series 4 of The Chef Show just went up on Netflix and it's so chill. Just some excellent, vibey food porn. #slashtag
Glory Daze with Ben Affleck, streaming on CBS all access, is 5 stars for me. Mostly from nostalgia and the punk rock soundtrack. Cameos from Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon. Has anyone else seen this college comedy?
#slashtag
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra#slashtag Strongly recommend Benh Zeitlin's WENDY as my favorite film of 2020 so far; more emotionally-resonant fantasy and stunning landscapes from director of BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD; rent on YouTube/Apple/Amazon
#slashtag@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra Don't watch #Alive for the next episode. It was OK but if you want a horror comedy watch One Cut of the Dead. It's seriously masterpiece about the pleasures (and horrors) of filmmaking. And don't make the mistake of turning it off... pic.twitter.com/4qb8Dzdo4O
@slashfilmcast please watch Gook - amazing movie very timely for the present day and I think Dave would appreciate it for the awesome actors and acting #slashtag
#slashtag I know you guys are all in the mood for more dark, depressing stories so I wanna recommend Lu Chuanās 2009 historical war movie City of Life and Death. A far better Chinese war movie than Mulan youtu.be/KGvrEIIQDj8
@mzhangclan#slashtag City of Life and Death is a great recommendation. I actually think itās among the best war films Iāve seen and deserves far more attention. Perhaps if it came out today, it would receive more coverage and wider distribution.
#slashtagyoutu.be/X1KxIfcd8dI Glitch Techs is an awesome cartoon on Netflix about gamer teens who battle & catch video game glitches come to life in the real world. Lots of video game refs. Funny & fun. @jeffcannata
@davechensky#slashtag Dave, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the 1993 Mike Leigh film "Naked." David Thewlis gives his best performance in this movie, and it's filled with timely themes. This film has an almost apocalyptic urgency that couldn't be more suited to this moment.
#slashtag I'm surprised you guys have basically blanked on 'The Social Dilemma'. I think with the backgrounds you guys each have this is essential viewing @slashfilmcast@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata - worthy of an in-depth review IMHO.
@jeffcannataĀ @davechenskyĀ @Devindra
So ā¦ a film for our time: Arrival (2016) by the amazing Denis Villeneuve. Poignant, powerful, humanistic science fiction that reminds the viewer that amazing concepts must be wrapped in human drama.
Canāt wait for Dune.
#slashtag
For those of you considering watching THE SOCIAL DILEMMA on Netflix, I'd recommend this video instead. Provides the same sentiment and info at a fraction of the length. twitter.com/rachelwenitskyā¦
@davechensky Have you gotten to watch THE GREAT HACK? The @netflix documentary about Cambridge Analytica. I think it does a good job at explaining the consequences of social media in politics. Curious to hear your thoughts about it. #slashtag
We're all in agreement that there is only one type of English Muffin, and that it's Thomas', right?
Surely in this time of political turmoil and social unrest, we can at least agree that it's Thomas' English Muffins or bust, 100% of the time.
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra Well, Iām 1-for-1 on recommendations, so Iām doubling down on trippy sci-fi. Take a look at Blood Machines on @Shudder. Will take less than an hour of your time, just make sure you watch it on your good tv. #slashtag
#slashtag ALONE (2020, make sure itās the one directed by John Hyams). Wellll worth the rental price and possibly even a full review. Will definitely scratch Jeffās āDie Hard in a...ā itch. Hyams in general is a ridiculously under-appreciated filmmaker.
@slashfilmcast pretty sure @jeffcannata would love the Long Way Up on Apple TV. Getting to hang out with friends as they have an adventure in the world? Everything I miss right now! #slashtag
#slashtag@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky How about "Coherence"? I may be late to the game, but caught it last night on Prime. What say you? Love the show always, but extra grateful for your ongoing spirit and camaraderie. You're the best!
@slashfilmcast#slashtag Iām a big fan! Little unusual, but I know thereās overlap between movie fans & magic fans so: Iāve got an interactive virtual magic show & I think /Filmcast hosts & fans might enjoy it. Shows at 6 pm ET on Saturdays, 2 PM ET Sunday savourthesea.com
Intimate Agony (1983) is on Amazon Prime Video. Similar premise to Jaws. The mayor of a resort town wants to downplay threat, but new doctor in town disagrees. The threat is not a shark, but herpes. Filmed before the AIDS epidemic, so feels out of touch. #slashtag
#slashtag@jeffcannata Hi Jeff. Really surprised you guys haven't mentioned Ridley Scott's new show, Raised by Wolves, on HBO Max. It's very interesting Science Fiction, and I would love to hear you discuss it on the podcast.
