#slashtag Another vote for My Octopus Teacher. This is the most amazing nature doc I’ve ever seen, yet it’s much, much more that that and a beautiful film. Jeff, it’s the perfect antidote to The Devil All the Time!

Just had my most surprising movie treat of the year watching SPONTANEOUS on vod. Katherine Langford is an absolute star leading a dark comedy about high school seniors spontaneously combusting.
Hilarious and surprisingly touching.
My Octopus Teacher on Netlix. Amazing documentary about a man befriending a wild octopus. Captures you immediately and hold it's all the way through. #slashtag
@jeffcannata wants another show after Ted Lasso. Check out Trying! The creator was adopted as a kid and wanted to explore the adoption process from a parents perspective. One of the best depictions of a relationship ever on TV, genuinely hilarious, and set in the UK! #Slashtag
#slashtag Loved "One Cut of The Dead", so fun and inventive. Great reco! Made me think of another beloved Japanese film, "After Life" - about a purgatory of sorts where counselors help people pick a favorite memory to live with for eternity and then must film it. Beautiful film!
@jeffcannata@Devindra I don’t know what the opposite of the #slashtag is to recommend that you do NOT watch something but definitely don’t watch American Murder: The Family Next Door on Netflix. This will absolute fuck you up as parents. I regret watching it for sure.

#slashtag If you want 80s fun, bad graphics included, try The Last Starfighter. You may never look at a video game the same again. pic.twitter.com/f3yNHuUgga
@davechensky I'm sure at this point your "What if you can enjoy your own funeral" remark has opened up #slashtag requests to watch Dick Johnson Is Dead
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra Have you guys started to watch Ratched on Netflix? I was blown away by the pilot. While the story and cast are pretty good, I’d have to say I’m stunned at how great the cinematography, locations, etc. are. #slashtag
#slashtag recommendation for the @slashfilmcast guys: #LostBullet on Netflix might be my top action film of 2020 & no one is really talking about it. A low key French action film with dashes of FAST/FURIOUS & OG MAD MAX from a first time director & starring a skilled stuntman.
#slashtag recommendation. A fantastic 2020 documentary called Jasper Mall. Follows employees and customers around a once thriving mall in Alabama. It’s funny, sad at times and has a great nostalgia factor to it. Truly worth a watch.
#slashtag recommendation: a strange, memorable, complex and disturbing gem of a film: DREAMCHILD from 1985. Written by the great Dennis Potter, w/ superb performances by Ian Holm (as Lewis Carroll) and Coral Browne (as the real Alice for whom the books were written). 1/
#slashtag (cont.) I saw the film at the Public Theatre's cinema in 1985 and took friends back to see it, it was so strange, resonant, and affecting. I think you guys will enjoy digging into it. Avail on Amazon Prime (a muddy print, unfortunately.) Enjoy! 3/3

#slashtag (cont.) DREAMCHILD plays with shifts in time, memory, and reality versus fiction in ingenious ways. Characters from the Alice In Wonderland books were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, to creepy, funny effect. 2/
@slashfilmcast Shudder also has "The Orphanage" quality top-shelf, best-of-the-best quality horror! Check out Guatemala’s La Llorona (this isn’t last year’s The Curse of La Llorona) and Mexico’s Tigers are Not Afraid #slashtag
The Unit was one of my never-miss tv series when it was on. Not sure I have ever heard anyone talk about it in reviews. It was about U.S. Army special operations unit commonly known as Delta Force and their family lives.

@slashfilmcast I'd like to recommend #Alive, a South Korean zombie film which I watched and, uhm... I thought it was... very, very good, actually... #slashtag
@slashfilmcast I would like to recommend Studio Trigger's debut film "Promare" it's an animated action adventure film the likes you have never seen before #slashtag

@slashfilmcast Check out Roof Culture Asia - it’s a parkour documentary with a sense of adventure and amazing feats of athleticism that will make your stomach drop. #slashtagyoutu.be/IKl2Yj3qqQs
#slashtag@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata yall im just throwing it out there that Cinema Paradiso is so heartwarming and emotional, one of the greatest films ive ever seen, and newly relevant to the times. Also Dave, the directors cut is 3+ hours 😜
The fans of the /Filmcast podcast are the clear winners of the summer movie wager, as y’all didn’t compete. 😜 😂
So, as punishment, you should watch the 1982 Barry Bostwick action thriller “Megaforce” and review it on the next podcast. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata#slashtag You have to check out Raised by Wolves on HBO Max. This is one of the best Sci-fi TV shows ever made. It flew under my radar but I watched an episode and it blew me away. If you’ve ever liked Ridley Scott you need to check this out.
I just watched 'Imitation of Life' (1959) and I'm honestly shocked that this isn't a more well-known classic. I think it's better than 'Sunset Boulevard' and 'Casablanca' and it deals with still-relevant issues in ways more progressive than many modern movies! #slashtagpic.twitter.com/ZmA8iVfomf
I am on a quest to watch happy things and Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist (on Hulu/Peacock) is delightful. It's breezy, colorful and charming and will leave you with a smile on your face. Watch it with your significant other. #slashtag
