'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?
Aw man! What a day yesterday!! I think I totally outdid myself. I’m still tallying my body count, but it’s big, really big. I can tell because my machete arm is killing me today. Obviously not as much as it killed yesterday, but, you know, sore. Definitely tender.

@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…)
#slashtag been on a music doc kick lately and @jeffcannata if you liked McCartney 3,2,1 you gotta check out the Sparks Brothers (directed by Edgar Wright), the newish Zappa doc, and Summer of Soul they are all amazing
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata Just finished “I Think You Should Leave.” It was hilarious and brilliant. Are there any other shows like this? And by that mean, hilarious and also short. I loved how short the episodes of I Think You Should Leave are. #Slashtag
#slashtag Thank you @Devindra for recommending Neon Genesis Evangelion! I'm a slow TV watcher, but I've finally finished the series and in my mind it is one of the 5 best ever made. What an exquisite work of art. To the other film cast hosts, what are you waiting for?
@thefilmcastpod Have any of you guys checked out Babylon Berlin (on Netflix in the US)? It’s a fantastic crime thriller set in 1920s Berlin that combines a lot of genres. All episodes are co-written & co-directed by Tom Tykwer and I think it’s some of his best work! #slashtag
Hey @jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky if you like “I think you should leave” and Sam Richardson, have you guys watched Detroiters? While it has lots of “Detroit” specific jokes and references that may be lost on you, Tim and Sam’s humor stylings shine through. #slashtag
