Just watched Spike Lee's 25th Hour for the first time and was particularly touched by Brian Cox's ending monologue which saw Monty's life unfold as an anonymous fugitive on the lam. Suddenly, another cousin to The Green Knight! #slashtag@thefilmcastpod
Destination Wedding - A charming and witty romcom (anti-romcom?) with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder on Hulu AND just shy of 1 1/2 hours runtime! Prediction: @jeffcannata will love it, @Devindra may like it, and @davechensky may hate it. #slashtag
#slashtag Mentally Al. A new documentary about the legendary Al Lubel - "The funniest comedian you've never heard of." I think @Devindra may enjoy this one but I'd be curious of others opinions as well!
Thanks to @Devindra's recommendation...I just watched the most intensely moving, totally unintentional double feature ever (and also maybe my favourite film of the year). 🍿 #slashtagpic.twitter.com/BmWfNCxsIP
The best comic book show not made by Marvel this year may very well be #sweettooth on Netflix. It’s all about a pandemic so hard to watch right now but also kind of relatable. #Slashtag#SweetToothNetflix
Just finished season 3 of Bosch. Thanks for the recommendation @Devindra. Really enjoying the multiple intertwining plots. smart TV, but Bosch needs to learn to call for backup sooner. #slashtag
#slashtag Mandibles. It’s like Dumb and Dumber if instead of finding a briefcase full of money, they found a giant fly that that they try to train to rob banks for them. It’s in French and subtitled, but the comedy still works. Only 77 minutes! $7 to rent most platforms
'100 Foot Wave' is a very good documentary series about big-wave surfing and deserves a #slashtag recommendation. It is airing now on HBO.
Considering that you enjoy 'Alone' @davechensky and 'Ultimate Survival Alaska' @jeffcannata - I think this is for you. @Devindra, interested?
Aw man! What a day yesterday!! I think I totally outdid myself. I’m still tallying my body count, but it’s big, really big. I can tell because my machete arm is killing me today. Obviously not as much as it killed yesterday, but, you know, sore. Definitely tender.

@thefilmcastpod I watched the first episode of Reservation Dogs (which is produced by Taika Waititi). I don’t know if the rest of the episodes will hold up, but the first ep was pretty funny. #slashtag
#slashtag "Get Duked" on Amazon Prime. A group of delinquent teens are forced to do a walkabout in the Scottish Highlands, but end up fighting off a serial killer. I LOVED it. I came for Eddie Izzard, but stayed for everything else!
@JeffCanatta@Devindra@davechensky#slashtag Thunder Road, 2019 Jim Cummings written, directed & starring masterpiece. Funny, heartbreaking, heart-warming and sad all in 90 minutes.
@thefilmcastpod I was looking for some Spanish language films to watch when I stumbled on a gem I had never heard of from 2009. The English title is Timechrimes and it's available on Kanopy. I think it's brilliant and I think all of you would love it. #slashtag
I watched a film last night where a down-on-his-luck skipper take a feisty British woman down a jungle river in WW1, braving mighty rapids and getting shot at by Germans. The lead finally won an Oscar -- wait, you guys know I'm talking about THE AFRICAN QUEEN, right? #slashtag
When @jeffcannata was telling @davechensky that they could have done a "Romancing The Stone"-type story, this is the movie I thought of. I watched the restored (2009) version, and while the opening might set of "problematic" bells, it's not nearly as bad as the actual ride!
