#slashtag 1981’s “Victory”, the forgotten John Huston film, part Great Escape, part Ted Lasso, with Sylvester Stallone’s full charisma shining through (and Michael Caine’s too).
@Devindra@davechensky@Devindra Catching up with AFTER DARK Re Time Travel. I would implore you all to check out the Dr Who episode BLINK (David Tennant Dr)
Even if you have no interest in that show, that episode is terryfing / brilliant. #slashtag
#slashtag Inspired from your time travel talk - The Call is a Korean thriller released just last Friday on Netflix. It was supposed to be out in Korean theaters in March but got a worldwide Netflix release instead. It has a lot of fun time travel ideas and is a fun thriller!
@jeffcannata Here's one for the #slashtag: "I Love You, Now Die" on HBO Max-- A 2 part (hour long) documentary about an absolutely insane, legislation defining, case of teenage "love". I really hope to hear you and the slashfilm boys talk about it, because it's N U T S.
@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra#slashtag I'd be doing y'all a disservice if I didn't bring up Joe Pera Talks with You (both seasons on HBO Max, 12 minute episodes). Quirky observation of HTW John Wilson + wide-eyed optimism of Ted Lasso, and a plot arc I didn't see coming 💙
#slashtag 'Tree Man' is a doc about people who sell Xmas trees on the NYC streets. It's a testament to the value of every person and the community that happens when people understand, or at least believe in, their value and support one another. Kindness is everywhere you look.
#slashtag "If anything happens I love you" on Netflix is 12 minutes long and will leave you in tears and thinking about it for a long, long time.
Beautifully sad and poignant.
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata#slashtag Feel like you all might dig WAYNE which was picked up by Amazon after YouTube Premium went bust. It's got "End of the F-cking World" vibes, but is just original enough to stand on its own. It's gory, yet also quite sweet.
So, #slashfilmcast, you're talking about time travel movies and don't even bother to mention the mother of all time travel shows, #darknetflix? Really? #slashtag
Still on this Warrior (Cinemax) train! Season two is finishing so strongly that I’d be pretty bummed if they don’t get moved to HBO for S3.
@Devindra@davechensky#slashtag
#slashtag I just finished Industry Season 1. I'm conflicted about this one. On one hand, memorable characters. On the other hand, this is not how things are on a Trading Floor/bank. I do not like the dialogue at all - many unclear lines, scenes, moments.
If anyone from @slashfilmcast sees this #slashtag tweet: check out Wicked City (1987), for something a bit different. The trailers reveal too much, but it's an adult horror anime. Has some nice 80s synth and pop music, but doesn't feel so old. I don't know about streaming. pic.twitter.com/UM17BO0hBN
It goes without saying but the new Animaniacs is absolutely fantastic. I have things to do today but am seriously thinking of just binge watching this show today #slashtag
Just catching up on @slashfilmcast and How To with John Wilson, was brought up by @davechensky but @Devindra didn’t seem too excited by the show. The episode to watch - How to Cover Your Furniture - episode 4. Brilliant. I was crying with laughter #slashtag
@Azzano00@slashfilmcast@davechensky@Devindra Was just gonna mention this! The final episode (6) that just came out is awesome, reckoning with the modern times in such a heartfelt way! Can't wait to hear you guys talk about it. #slashtag
I gave Marvel 616 on Disney+ a try. First ep was about the Japanese Spider-Man tv show. I didn’t know much about it outside of seeing clips. Cool piece of comic history and I have to admit I got a bit teary at the end. @jeffcannata this would very much be your jam. #slashtag
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata A while back on the podcast one of you discussed the Amazon remake of Utopia. I feel like someone said they had not seen the original Utopia or hadn't seen it in a while. Whatever the case, the original series is on Prime Video #SlashTag
#slashtag guys i know this sounds like crazy talk... but the new Saved By The Bell is legit a great follow up to the original. Super self-aware tone with a 30 Rock/Parks vibe. Silliness with heart and is legit funny. Caught me by suprise, I think it will do the same for ya'll
TIME was one of the best films I saw this year. Director Garrett Bradley did incredible work compiling some 100 hours of home movie footage into a story of incarceration, injustice, and love. A different subject but I was reminded of the also good Tarnation from 2003. #slashtagtwitter.com/thedreaclark/s…
I can't recommend TIME the doc enough, available for free this weekend. As we are sharing the pain many of us feel to not be able to be with our families this year, realizing the Richardson family has now lost out on 20 years of Thanksgivings together registers more acutely. twitter.com/TheFilmStage/s…
@jeffcannata Have you checked out "The Goes Wrong Show" on Prime? Each episode is a one act play with a live audience where things continue to go wrong in progressively brilliant ways. 30 minutes, lots of laughs, seems right up your alley. Enjoy. :) #slashtag
Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb on Netflix ticks all the boxes that the archaeologist you thought you’d be as a child would want it to! Fascinating documentary that shows the process of discovery that helps to paints the picture of what happened thousands of years ago #slashtag
Want a GREAT Sunday break from the election news? The chance to expand your mind? Check out HUMAN NATURE on Netflix. (Ok, it's our documentary, but I'm really proud of it). It's about the science revolution known as #CRISPR, which got this year's Nobel Prize!!! #HumanNatureFilm
Weekend watching. Bird Boy: The Forgotten Children. A Spanish animated film on Kanopy. Free if you have a library card. Cute animal characters struggle over resources on a post apocalypse island. Grim dark, whimsical, and surreal. #slashtagpic.twitter.com/c3S4BOLXKC
Baby Done (2020). New Zealand film with a great cast! Taika Waititi is one of the producers. If you can find a way to watch it, do yourself a favour!! #slashtag
#slashtag watch the movie (not the show) "Run" on Hulu. It's the follow up thriller from the director of searching. A taut and tense thriller about a very smart person thinking their way out of a difficult situation. @jeffcannata
The Liberator. A 4-part WW2 series that uses a rotoscope-like form of animation. It's its own thing of course, but you can file it alongside Band of Brothers. #slashtagyoutube.com/watch?v=vZaIZg…
Watched Mangrove, the 1st Small Axe film today. Based on a West Indian restaurant in 60’s England that became a target of racism and a center of organizing and protest. Beautiful, joyous, angry, and relevant. Deserves a big screen. #slashtag
