Just heard Phil Tippet (effects wizard for Star Wars and Robocop) on the @WTFpod where he spoke of "Mad God", a movie he had been working on for THIRTY. YEARS. It's now streaming on Shudder, getting theatrical release this weekend. Must. See. It. #slashtagyoutu.be/jas8OABbn0Y
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata Now that y'all have seen RRR: I've loved your podcast for a decade and want you to be happy so I'm begging you to watch Eega (a.k.a. Eecha), Rajamouli's breakout hit from 2012. It's available to rent on YouTube. #slashtag
Highly recommend epic film 'RRR' in theaters - pure cinema made for the big screen! One of my most exhilarating cinematic experiences ever. Also on Netflix. #slashtag@davechensky@jeffcannata@Devindra
Theaters of War (I saw on Kanopy) is a rote documentary, but it uncovers the pernicious propagandizing the DOD and CIA force upon movies and TVs. I was always aware of this, but the documents showcased in this movie paints a wholly insidious picture. Important context. #slashtag
@jeffcannata My first limerick, so I’ll set the bar low.
Jeff, I’m more than eager to hear
Although your verdict is my current fear
Was the season finale bad
I don’t want to be sad
As The Flight Attendant is my secret sweetheart and dear #slashtag
#Slashtag@Devindra please check out You Won't Be Alone. Think Under Her Skin but with witches, also Possessor (2020) vibes.
Noomi Rapace continues to make strange but fascinating films.
Counterpart is the best performance of JK Simmons’s career and barely anyone even knows it exists. It’s on Amazon Prime. For the love of god, watch it #slashtag
Emergency (I saw in theatres, at some point on Amazon Prime) is movie that just gets better as it goes along. Somehow never contrived. It's a "between a rock and hard place" film that's funny when it needs to be and moving in the end. Racially poignant and so well made #slashtag
@davechensky@Devindra@jeffcannata Documentary recommendation. "Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story" on Netflix. The Jimmy Savile story is a harrowing example of how celebrity can allow certain people to get away with horrendous crimes. Infuriating yet engaging watch. #Slashtag
@jeffcannata#slashtag have you seen: Kim’s Convenience? Don’t remember if I’ve heard you talk about it on the show or not… But it’s a wonderful half hour comedy
@jeffcannata@davechensky@Devindra have you guys checked out RRR on Netflix? This is maybe the most bonkers film I’ve ever seen, in the best possible way. This would be an excellent after dark or even main review. #slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata You have to check out Love, Death and Robots s03e09 “Jibaro”. It has maybe the best animation I’ve ever seen in anything and it’s so weird and haunting. Truly incredible. Made by same guy as the episode “The Witness” in season 1. #slashtag
Looking forward to hearing Chip n Dale film in "What we've been watching". Felt like a film for grownups, marketed at children. So many fake movies and tv shows there! #slashtag
#slashtag Hey guys, what’s the name of the horror flick that @jeffcannata liked that features writers in a cabin trying to scare each other with stories? Or something like that! Thanks!
@jeffcannata Have you seen this video before? Watching an incredibly smart person go through the process of building something impossible seems right up your alley m.youtube.com/watch?v=RpSeim…#slashtag
@Devindra@davechensky@jeffcannata I’m shocked you guys haven’t talked about We Own This City on HBO yet. It’s basically an addendum to The Wire and made by the same creators. It takes a deeper dive on the systemic issues with policing and how it leads to corruption. #slashtag
@thefilmcastpod@jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky I recommend a new movie called The Innocents. Norwegian movie, extremely well crafted slow burn about a group of children that discovers they have mind powers. Trigger warning for depicted animal harm #slashtag
All these tweets about Jordan Peterson dying of scurvy like he's on the Franklin Expedition have reminded me to recommend the @thefilmcastpod guys watch the first season of The Terror. The character arcs (for Jared Harris' character in particular) are incredible. #slashtagpic.twitter.com/PlEj5qbC9D
#slashtag not a rec for you guys but for others; maybe give a shout-out in the next pod that Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is now streaming for free on Prime Video!
@thefilmcastpod@jeffcannata@Devindra@davechensky If you want to see a Taiwanese zombie movie that has some of the most depraved acts of violence I’ve ever seen depicted on screen, check out The Sadness. Available on Shudder. #slashtag
#slashtag since Jeff recently saw Upgrade I’d like to rec Teddy Bomb (2014) from dir. Justin Decloux! Its nearly the same premise on a shoestring budget made up for with wild eyed editing and fight choreography. Plus is makes an pleasant contrast to Upgrade’s cynicism.
@jeffcannata Stand-up comedy special recommendation for you. Greg Davies "You Magnificent Beast" on Netflix. Not sure if you are familiar with his work but he's a comedian from Britain. Hands down, one of the best storytellers working today. Special had me in stitches. #slashtag
#slashtag Just finished season 1 of Outer Range on Amazon and definitely recommend it! Super fun puzzle box show set in Wyoming on a family’s ranch with sci-fi elements. Anybody else watching?
Just saw 'They'll Love Me When I'm Dead' on Netflix - the documentary about the end of Orson Welles' career. Have @thefilmcastpod done an episode on this yet? #slashtag
#slashtag Why is no one talking about Richard Linklater’s “Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood”? I thought this movie was absolutely delightful and was surprised to see it pop up on my @netflix menu several weeks ago having never heard of it before. It was absolutely delightful.
If you're a listener of the @thefilmcastpod and enjoyed their recent spirited discussion of The Pentaverate, you may also enjoy hearing an equally spirited Canadian perspective on the show's characters (3:30 to 18:30 on this podcast episode). 🇨🇦 #slashtagcanadaland.com/podcast/779-th…
