If you're in the mood for a dense, low-key but intense French espionage series (and you have the Sundance channel), check out The Bureau (Le Bureau Des Legendes). It's like le Carré, but a little more pulpy. Give it a couple eps. You'll either tap out or get hooked #slashtag
Not sure it's been mentioned before, but Jennifer Kent's latest, the nightingale is absolutely superb. It's a story of racism revenge and ultraviolence set in early colonial Australia. #slashtag
#slashtag Watch "Bluey" on Disneyplus. From Australia. Best kids show of all time. We're SUPER picky about what we let our 2&4 year olds watch but we watch it as a family and love every minute of it. Give it a try.
Yellowstone is a modern Western nighttime soap opera on Paramont Channel that’s my guilty pleasure. Think Dallas with JR as a strawberry blonde ball busting chick. Dark yet corny. Kevin Costner stars as gravel voiced patriarch. #Montana#slashtag
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata NOROI: A criminally underrated Japanese found footage horror film. There's a shot from the final scene that's just... Well, you'll see. Available on Shudder. #slashtag
So, Tigers Are Not Afraid was a wonderful, little seen gem from 2019 that I would highly recommend. It's heavy and dark but also beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Guillermo del Toro.

Kipo and the wonder beasts! Post-apocalyptic zany mutants + psychedelic 70s style animation + epic eclectic soundtrack + great character development. Yes it's aimed at tweens but watching it with my kids had me in stitches. Also love the way it handles representation. #slashtag
@jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky#slashtag Ted Lasso on AppleTV+ is a wonderfully upbeat and positive comedy that I needed and couldn’t stop watching! Hope to hear your thoughts
@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra High Score on Netflix. A new documentary on the history of video games. Clunky at times but it’s fun and the interviews and subjects are cool. Theres some cool art direction as well.Also, it’s narrated by the voice of Mario #SlashTag
@RyanLaskodi@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra I just finished it. Enjoyed the hell out of it. Learned a lot. Also amazing seeing and listening to video game visionaries of days past. Double recommendation here #slashtag
@RyanLaskodi@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra Seconded — it was a fantastic nostalgia trip, filled with great archival footage and interesting tidbits I didn’t know. The goofy bits didn’t put me off the way they did Jeff. #slashtag
@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra In honor of Steve Bannons recent arrest I cannot recommend Errol Morris’ AMERICAN DHARMA (2018). It’s Morris interviewing him about his methodology and how he sees the shaping of American future. #slashtag
Alright @slashfilmcast. I've got a recommendation that will break your heart and then put it back together bigger than it was before. A beautiful doc directed by my friend @JROBproductions called MY BROTHER JORDAN. It's free on Youtube and Vimeo. #slashtagyoutube.com/watch?v=ryEq5Y…
Justin took 600+ hrs of home video and 100+ interviews to document the life/death of his brother and best friend. A beautiful story found in the mundane. Not to mention masterful structure. You guys won't find a more powerful doc this year. @davechensky@jeffcannata#slashtag
A couple of #slashtag ‘s for the .@slashfilmcast crew
Into Eternity- Available on Kanopy I think. Doc on How to construct a warning that must last 100K years to keep people away from underground nuclear waste, What will language be like then?
Also the 7 Up documentary series....
Available on Brit Box or to buy on Prime I think. They’ve been revisiting the same set of Brits every 7 years since they were 7 in the 1960’s. Profound experience to watch how their lives turned out #slashtag
Hey @davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata - Have you guys seen A Dark Song (2016)? Feel like it might tick a box for each of you: Self-contained, smart, a focus on procedure, terrifying, nods to faith. Anyway, I loved it and would be great to hear your thoughts #slashtag
"High Score" a documentary series on Netflix: Traces the history of classic video games, featuring insights from the innovators who brought these worlds and characters to life. #slashtag 👍👍
#slashtag Dave Made a Maze
This movie was crazy creative!
Never seen anything like it in my life… Wildly creative! Creative creative creative! LOL
Check it out #davemadeamaze
Jeff Cannata, I just came across Dark Side of the Ring on Hulu. Some well-told dark stories from the Golden Age of wrestling, with interviews from industry veterans. First ep. about Macho Man and Elizabeth. I'm hooked. Six hour-long episodes. #slashtag
Another reminder that War and Peace is the biggest movie of all time and makes Gone with the Wind look like a kitchen sink drama. Streaming on Criterion!
youtu.be/3DqanxfecIA#slashtag#Criterion
For @slashfilmcast and #slashtag, I'm suggesting THE EXQUISITE CORPSE PROJECT. It's a documentary/narrative about friends, w/ @RaphaelBW & @adamconover, who take turns producing a script with only the 5 previous pages to go by. It's an absolute favorite! youtu.be/LJBUQKvGZ0o
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata I recommend Three Christs. Based (loosely) on the true story of a mental hospital in Ypsilanti, MI that had 3 patients that all thought they were Jesus. Unfortunately, Richard Gere mispronounces “Ypsilanti”

@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata Sincerely, thank you so much for this week's #SlashfilmCast. Dave's "You M'Fer" had me in stitches. All around just great. #SlashTag on #DoomPatrol. Funny as hell (one scene had my wife come in the room cause I laughed so loud) & heartfelt too.
@slashfilmcast@jeffcannata - just catching up on the Filmcast and Jeff watched my recommendation of #granddesigns#slashtag I am over the moon, really very happy indeed. Also grand designs is the best.
@jeffcannata Based on the Grand Designs episode you loved, recommend you check out Win the Wilderness on Netflix. And also always Schitts Creek. #slashtag
@Devindra@jeffcannata@davechensky I’m sure I can’t remember you chaps talking about this show.. on season 3 of 5 rewatching “line of duty” on the bbc you have to see this show!!!!! #slashtag
#slashtag did this earlier in the year but you guys need to get on gangs of London. Gareth Evans' latest. Was on sky in the UK. Not sure how you get it over there :)
