#slashtag I'm surprised you guys have basically blanked on 'The Social Dilemma'. I think with the backgrounds you guys each have this is essential viewing @slashfilmcast@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata - worthy of an in-depth review IMHO.
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra
So … a film for our time: Arrival (2016) by the amazing Denis Villeneuve. Poignant, powerful, humanistic science fiction that reminds the viewer that amazing concepts must be wrapped in human drama.
Can’t wait for Dune.

For those of you considering watching THE SOCIAL DILEMMA on Netflix, I'd recommend this video instead. Provides the same sentiment and info at a fraction of the length. twitter.com/rachelwenitsky…
@davechensky Have you gotten to watch THE GREAT HACK? The @netflix documentary about Cambridge Analytica. I think it does a good job at explaining the consequences of social media in politics. Curious to hear your thoughts about it. #slashtag
We're all in agreement that there is only one type of English Muffin, and that it's Thomas', right?
Surely in this time of political turmoil and social unrest, we can at least agree that it's Thomas' English Muffins or bust, 100% of the time.
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra Well, I’m 1-for-1 on recommendations, so I’m doubling down on trippy sci-fi. Take a look at Blood Machines on @Shudder. Will take less than an hour of your time, just make sure you watch it on your good tv. #slashtag
#slashtag ALONE (2020, make sure it’s the one directed by John Hyams). Wellll worth the rental price and possibly even a full review. Will definitely scratch Jeff’s “Die Hard in a...” itch. Hyams in general is a ridiculously under-appreciated filmmaker.
@slashfilmcast pretty sure @jeffcannata would love the Long Way Up on Apple TV. Getting to hang out with friends as they have an adventure in the world? Everything I miss right now! #slashtag
#slashtag@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky How about "Coherence"? I may be late to the game, but caught it last night on Prime. What say you? Love the show always, but extra grateful for your ongoing spirit and camaraderie. You're the best!
@slashfilmcast#slashtag I’m a big fan! Little unusual, but I know there’s overlap between movie fans & magic fans so: I’ve got an interactive virtual magic show & I think /Filmcast hosts & fans might enjoy it. Shows at 6 pm ET on Saturdays, 2 PM ET Sunday savourthesea.com
Intimate Agony (1983) is on Amazon Prime Video. Similar premise to Jaws. The mayor of a resort town wants to downplay threat, but new doctor in town disagrees. The threat is not a shark, but herpes. Filmed before the AIDS epidemic, so feels out of touch. #slashtag
#slashtag@jeffcannata Hi Jeff. Really surprised you guys haven't mentioned Ridley Scott's new show, Raised by Wolves, on HBO Max. It's very interesting Science Fiction, and I would love to hear you discuss it on the podcast.
@jeffcannata What if an RPG but IRL AR and dangerous? Memories of Alhambra. SK show filmed and set in Granada, Spain. PERFECT for escaping the US for 16 hours. #slashtag#Netflix
#slashtag@jeffcannata I have a great switch off show for you. Ireland's greatest ever comedy show, Father Ted. Voted best sitcom ever by channel 4 in the uk, all 3 seasons are on prime video over there in the U.S. Very interested to hear an american opinion on our beloved comedy
@jeffcannata#slashtag the perfect short, late night wind down show, ‘Please Like Me’ from Josh Thomas. 4 seasons on Hulu. So funny and heartfelt, while not shying away from human complexity. Featuring Hannah Gadsby in later seasons.
HBOs film The Sunset Limited is definitely a Jeff Cannata-dinner-with-André-style movie. About faith and hopelessness. Samuel L Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones? Come on Jeff! #slashtag
@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky ‘Away’ was surprisingly good for a Netflix original. It reminds me of when they tried to be the next HBO instead of the “appeal to the masses with long tail bullshit” they’re doing now. #slashtag
@slashfilmcast The "Dirty Gold" episode of season 2 of Dirty Money on Netflix could easily be a standalone movie. The access the documentary crew got to people directly involved on all sides of a multi-billion $ money laundering schemes is incredible. #slashtag
@jeffcannata#slashtag blown away how much I enjoyed The Way Back with Ben Affleck on HBO Max. Def shed a tear or three, nothing you haven’t seen before but really well done.
Not sure if You all have already watched Criminal: United Kingdom on Netflix but I think it is fantastic. Cleverly written and very well acted. #slashtag
@jeffcannata Check out The Overnighters (same director as Boys State) from 2014. One of my faves from that year and equally as cinematic to my recollection. Been meaning to rewatch. #slashtag
