@slashfilmcast you’ve probably been #slashtag recommended this a lot, but Werewolves Within seems like it’s right up @jeffcannata’s alley—based on a video game, directed by Josh Ruben of Scare Me fame, plus it’s a lot of fun too
@jeffcannata@Devindra#slashtag my wife and I are new parents so it may be pulling our heart strings harder than usual, but we are really enjoying Trying on AppleTV+. Every episode is funny and heartfelt and just feels good to watch at the end of the day. Give it a shot.
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra#slashtag Probably late to the party, but Loudermilk is so good. Ron Livingston is so good, but the supporting characters are too. Amazon Prime. Hopefully for 4th season!!
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata May I recommend “Closed for Storm” on VOD. 1st feature length doc from YouTuber @BrightSunFilms. It’s about the abandoned theme park Six Flags New Orleans. How Hurricane Katrina destroyed it and the attempts to bring it back #slashtag
Did you like Children of Men, 1917, The Raid 2, The Revenant, Last of Us 2? Then watch Black Summer, a zombie series on Netflix. Lots of long shots and extended action scenes. The first 7 minutes of S2:E1 are extremely impressive. #slashtag@jeffcannata
#slashtag hey guys, two fun campy summer horror movies worth a watch:
VICIOUS FUN on Shudder (horror film critic stumbles into self-help meeting for serial killers)
WEREWOLVES WITHIN on VOD (snowstorm traps town with mysterious creature?)
#slashtag if you’re after a 30min, 6ep series, consider #Creamerie A New Zealand dystopian comedy. It’s set 8yrs after a virus wipes out 99% of men. Think The Handmaid’s Tale but funny.
If you are into video games and aren’t watching #MythicQuest, what are you doing with your life? It’s become one of my favourite half hour comedies of all time. #Slashtag
@jeffcannata I was blown away by 1952's Sudden Fear the other night. It has all the hallmarks of movies you absolutely love. Every tiny little set up is paid off and everyone is smart. I know it's an old one, but I found it as thrilling as anything this decade. #slashtag
I’m afraid Mythic Quest didn’t stick the landing. But @jeffcannata if you’re after a good half hour comedy and want the cockles of your heart thoroughly warmed, check out #trying. Wonderful cast, season ender was great, & Imelda Staunton plays the best character on TV. #slashtag
#slashtag /filmcast listeners I need your help! @jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky Jeff mentioned a TV show (not show about the show) where actors did a performance then you saw the behind the scenes performance off the stage. Does anyone know the comedy he was talking about?
For those loving Rose Matafeo in Starstruck on @jeffcannata ‘s recommendation, she’s the best thing about season 9 of Taskmaster, and has a bunch of fun shorts on YouTube #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata
recommending "The Grizzlies" on Netflix. It looks like a basic underdog sports movie, but it broke me. Tremendous performances from Inuit actors. #slashtag
@slashfilmcast For your next half hour quality comedy fix, try Motherland. Not sure where it’s available in the states (BBC) but parents especially will love it #slashtag
#slashtag "Upload" on Amazon Prime! Sci-fi comedy/mystery thing. It's a bit cheesy/goofball but I had a lot of fun with it. It's also only 10 episodes and most are ~25 mins. @jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra
Just found Angel Heart (1987) on Amazon Prime. Detective story takes place in NY/Louisiana starring Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro. Never heard of it but I got to say it was a pretty good little mystery. #slashtag@jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky
Tried to see a movie at AMC Pacific Place 11 in Seattle, they’re evacuating the theater due to heat concerns and “screen failure”

@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata You should check out the documentary on Wolfgang Puck on Disney+. He has been incredibly successful for decades and yet what you will learn is for all his success, he has a lot of self doubt in himself. Good lesson for the rest of us. #slashtag
#slashtag@jeffcannata I’m getting behind @Devindra ‘s recommendation for Mythic Quest. Just finished season 1 and loved it! Yes, those stand alone eps are great, but watch the whole thing to fall in love with these characters!
Hey @davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra you know this recommendation is serious when it makes me sign up for twitter.. My dad wrote a porno is the funniest thing ever, give it a try pls #slashtag
My #slashtag recommendation this time is Trying on AppleTV+. A couple try’s adopting a kid, feel good antics ensue. It seems like Jeff and his wife might enjoy it.
...@jeffcannata is it true that you've never seen Preacher tv show? Isn't that your favorite comic book ever? You do know it is on Hulu, right? You should watch it and then talk about it on @slashfilmcast. I recommend any fan of the book watch it, especially you! #slashtag
@htranbui@Devindra If you liked Haikyu !! You have to read my favorite manga of all time: Slam Dunk. I still cry with the last game every time (I haven't seen the anime so I can't vouch for it)

#Slashtag An fascinating look into how they even managed to do SNL during the pandemic
Stories from the Show: A Look Back at SNL Season 46 youtu.be/cZLrDapphAI
#slashtag If you guys like ‘Clue’ you should watch ‘Murder by death’(1976). It has an incredible cast; Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, David Niven and many more. A good whodunnit spoof 👍
Been wanting to recommend TurboKid for the longest time. Truly a testament to how much filmmakers can do with a shoestring budget. Plus Michael Ironside in a very memorable performance. #slashtag
@jeffcannata Your refusal to watch Preacher is getting nuts. It's a TV show based on your favorite comic book of ALL TIME. Dying to hear your thoughts on at least S1, and have been for five YEARS now. All eps on Hulu. PLEASE check it out! #slashtag
#slashtag Chad @NasimSnl Chad is about a "14-year-old pubescent Persian boy (Nasim Pedrad) as he navigates his first year of high school on a mission to become popular. youtube.com/watch?v=Yo7KxT…
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND “Wish Dragon” on Netflix. A modern day “Aladin” story set in China. There are moments of the original sprinkled through a fun reimagining. I loved it!
#Slashtag
#slashtag Bo Burnam's "Zach Stone is gonna be Famous" from 2013 is so smartly written, loosely acted and still feels like it was made today, not 9 years ago.
@jeffcannata (specifically)
Just catching up on last week’s after dark on all things supernatural. I HIGHLY recommend this Nerd Nite talk on pareidolia (why we see patterns)!

@slashfilmcast It's 10 years old now but if you boys haven't seen the Australian movie "Snowtown" (based on a true story) it's creepy and confronting, sometimes hard to watch. I really think you would like it #slashtag
@Devindra would probably appreciate this film the most, but #slashtag recommendation to Night of Kings, a Côte d’Ivoire prison story about storytelling full of magical realism, song, and dance. (Available on Hulu)
