#slashtag ANIARA, the incredibly intense swedish sci-fi masterpiece. Not many people talk about it but when you've seen it you can't stop thinking about it. It's on Hulu in the US so it's just a click away.
#slashtag Mostly a recommendation directly for @jeffcannata, but -Lego Masters Australia- is an absolute joy (available in the US on Tubi). Amazing lego creations + positive people being positive to one another. Recommend starting with S2.
I've just finished watching the second season of The Outlaws and it was bloody marvelous. The light and shade between humour and real edgy drama was perfection.
Congrats @StephenMerchant and team 👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/jbUvBnE7mY
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata I have a new #SlashTag for you all.
FX on Hulu's The Bear is a great kitchen drama, with engaging characters, & I binged through all 8 half-hour episodes today.
However it might suffer the same fate as Terriers because of its title. pic.twitter.com/gEA0Kdc3Zo

Mad God (@AMCPlus), weird, wild, & sometimes gross stop-motion animated film about the end(?) of the world (83 minutes)
Petite Maman, lovely fantasy film from the director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (72 minutes)
@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky
@jeffcannata Absolutely don’t watch #MadGod with your mom. Instant cult classic from legendary @PhilTippett. Little plot or character but a captivating atmospheric mix of Hieronymous Bosch, Dante, Lynch, Cronenberg, Brothers Quay, & dash of 2001. + a technical marvel. #slashtag
@thefilmcastpod the Spriggan anime series on Netflix is a pretty great ride. I like the original film too. A super-powered high school kid working for a paramilitary group hunting relics of a technologically advanced ancient civ like a modern Indiana Jones. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata Phil Tippet's "MAD GOD" streaming on Shudder. I don't really know what I just saw. A FEAST for the eyes and a world brought to life. Near incomprehensible but utterly enthralling. A true art project and a vision of a genius realized! #slashtag
@jeffcannata On the Filmcast discussion of Severance, you mention not having seen Britt Lower in anything to which I must recommend "Man Seeking Woman" which was an FXX comedy from a few years back. Also starred Jay Baruchel and Eric Andre. #slashtag
Just heard Phil Tippet (effects wizard for Star Wars and Robocop) on the @WTFpod where he spoke of "Mad God", a movie he had been working on for THIRTY. YEARS. It's now streaming on Shudder, getting theatrical release this weekend. Must. See. It. #slashtagyoutu.be/jas8OABbn0Y
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata Now that y'all have seen RRR: I've loved your podcast for a decade and want you to be happy so I'm begging you to watch Eega (a.k.a. Eecha), Rajamouli's breakout hit from 2012. It's available to rent on YouTube. #slashtag
Highly recommend epic film 'RRR' in theaters - pure cinema made for the big screen! One of my most exhilarating cinematic experiences ever. Also on Netflix. #slashtag@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra
Theaters of War (I saw on Kanopy) is a rote documentary, but it uncovers the pernicious propagandizing the DOD and CIA force upon movies and TVs. I was always aware of this, but the documents showcased in this movie paints a wholly insidious picture. Important context. #slashtag
@jeffcannata My first limerick, so I’ll set the bar low.
Jeff, I’m more than eager to hear
Although your verdict is my current fear
Was the season finale bad
I don’t want to be sad
As The Flight Attendant is my secret sweetheart and dear #slashtag
#Slashtag@Devindra please check out You Won't Be Alone. Think Under Her Skin but with witches, also Possessor (2020) vibes.
Noomi Rapace continues to make strange but fascinating films.
Counterpart is the best performance of JK Simmons’s career and barely anyone even knows it exists. It’s on Amazon Prime. For the love of god, watch it #slashtag
Emergency (I saw in theatres, at some point on Amazon Prime) is movie that just gets better as it goes along. Somehow never contrived. It's a "between a rock and hard place" film that's funny when it needs to be and moving in the end. Racially poignant and so well made #slashtag
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata Documentary recommendation. "Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story" on Netflix. The Jimmy Savile story is a harrowing example of how celebrity can allow certain people to get away with horrendous crimes. Infuriating yet engaging watch. #Slashtag
@jeffcannata#slashtag have you seen: Kim’s Convenience? Don’t remember if I’ve heard you talk about it on the show or not… But it’s a wonderful half hour comedy
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra have you guys checked out RRR on Netflix? This is maybe the most bonkers film I’ve ever seen, in the best possible way. This would be an excellent after dark or even main review. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata You have to check out Love, Death and Robots s03e09 “Jibaro”. It has maybe the best animation I’ve ever seen in anything and it’s so weird and haunting. Truly incredible. Made by same guy as the episode “The Witness” in season 1. #slashtag
Looking forward to hearing Chip n Dale film in "What we've been watching". Felt like a film for grownups, marketed at children. So many fake movies and tv shows there! #slashtag
#slashtag Hey guys, what’s the name of the horror flick that @jeffcannata liked that features writers in a cabin trying to scare each other with stories? Or something like that! Thanks!
@jeffcannata Have you seen this video before? Watching an incredibly smart person go through the process of building something impossible seems right up your alley m.youtube.com/watch?v=RpSeim…#slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata I’m shocked you guys haven’t talked about We Own This City on HBO yet. It’s basically an addendum to The Wire and made by the same creators. It takes a deeper dive on the systemic issues with policing and how it leads to corruption. #slashtag
