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?
@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!
@jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky "Matsumoto Presents: Documental" on Amazon Prime. A comedic Japanese reality show where 10 comedians are locked in a room trying to make each other laugh while not laughing themselves. With their own money on the line. Short seasons! #slashtag
#SlashTag I know Jeff is on a music doc kick, so I'd recommend Bros: After the Screaming Stops. It focuses on the reunion of an 80s pop duo, and despite playing out like Spinal Tap meets David Brent is 100% real. Unintentionally hilarious but wholesome. youtu.be/D8j0n1nug0A
@thefilmcastpod not sure if you folks are still using the #slashtag, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new Nic Cage movie PIG, which is one of the best and most surprising movies so far this year, though the only caveat is it seems like it’s only in theaters for now 🤷🏻♂️
#slashtag#shivababy This is almost as anxiety inducing as Uncut Gems and more claustrophobic. It’s like a dramedy that’s (often) shot and scored like a horror movie. Couldn’t look away. @davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra
@davechensky do you watch “Warrior” on HBOMax? It’s a fun martial arts show set in San Francisco in the 1870s, with a largely Asian cast. After listening to your G.I. Joe discussion I feel it might be a better use of your time 😋 #slashtag
@jeffcannata Thanks for the heads up of "McCartney 3, 2, 1"!
It is soooo good. I was geeking out on the technical aspect of their studio production. Paul clearly was having fun revisiting his early work.
Can't wait for the Peter Jackson documentary!
#slashtag
I haven’t seen much buzz about it but Dr. Death on Peacock is very good. It’s a worthy adaptation of the great Wondery podcast and the leads (esp Christian Slater) are great. Seriously disturbing at times! #slashtag
@jeffcannata You have mentioned you are a fan of pro wrestling. Have you seen the series from Vice “Dark Side of the Ring”? It’s on Hulu and it’s a documentary series about some of the tragic stories from the wrestling world. I think it’s something you might enjoy #slashtag
#slashtag 2006 show "The Unit" about a special operations Delta force unit in the U.S. Army. Amazing show. Quick witted dialogue. Shot like a gritty movie. Dennis Haysbert as leader of the unit. Scott Foley. Robert Patrick fits his role so well.
#slashtag Blood Red Sky:
German-american Netflix-movie
Die Hard on a plane, but the protogonist is a single mom traveling to the US to treat her „blood disease“. (If you know what I mean…)
