    September 24th, 2024, marks the 20th Anniversary of Shaun Of The Dead's US Release. The forever-fresh cult classic not only launched Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost to mega-stardom, but the film also kicked off a trilogy of brilliant collaborations between the three artists.

    In this episode, Bella and Nick are joined by Daniel Ott to discuss all three of the high-octane, humanist, genre-bending films of The Cornetto Trilogy (aka The Colours Cornetto).

    We opened with the film that started it all. Part romantic comedy, part zombie film, Shaun Of The Dead still thrills audiences 20 years after its original release.Second in the trilogy is the pedal-to-the-metal buddy comedy Hot Fuzz, which happens to be Daniel Ott's favorite film of all time. Finally, the most mature and emotional film of the bunch, The World's End, wraps up the trilogy's thematic thread with a wallop of introspection and, of course, some laughs as well.

    Let us know what your favorite film of the trilogy is!

    This week, we conclude our tribute series to the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. Nick and Bella spotlight three of Hoffman’s most memorable supporting performances.

    Philip Seymour Hoffman never needed an exuberant amount of screen time to leave his mark on a film. Often, his supporting roles left as big of an impact as the leading characters.

    First up is one of his earliest roles in the Academy Award-winning film Scent Of A Woman. Next, Hoffman lights up the screen with an uncomfortable amount of energy, charisma, and tension in the juicy 1999 mystery The Talented Mr. Ripley. Finally, we get to explore Hoffman's outstanding comedic chops as he portrays Brandt in the cult classic The Big Lebowski.

    Also, our producer Sonja Mereu discusses one of Philip’s lesser-known films, Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked).

    Please let us know your thoughts on this episode and our entire Philip Seymour Hoffman series.

    Continuing our tribute to the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman, this week Nick and Bella spotlight three of the most powerful collaborations between Hoffman and visionary director Paul Thomas Anderson.

    Hoffman and Anderson shared a profound friendship and creative bond, built on deep mutual respect, admiration, and a dynamic artistic synergy. Hoffman appeared in five of Anderson’s films, shaping some of his most iconic works and forming one of the most significant director-actor partnerships in modern cinema.

    From their five brilliant collaborations, Bella and Nick have selected three standout films showcasing Hoffman’s extraordinary range:

    First up is Boogie Nights, where Hoffman plays Scotty J, the kind but awkward and vulnerable crew member in Anderson’s dark, raunchy, and wildly entertaining 70s period piece.

    Next, we dive into Magnolia, one of Anderson’s most acclaimed films, with Hoffman delivering a touching performance as Phil, a compassionate hospice caretaker with a heart of gold.

    Finally, we arrive at The Master, a masterpiece in both filmmaking and acting. Hoffman shines as an enigmatic cult leader in his final collaboration with Anderson, cementing their remarkable legacy.

    Also! Our producer Sonja Mereu brings you an incredible and heartwarming edition of Sonja's Movie Minute. In this episode, she reflects on the generational continuation of this creative legacy with Philip Seymour Hoffman's son, Cooper Hoffman, who stars in PTA’s Licorice Pizza.

    We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the episode—send us your feedback and enjoy!

    This week on The Gimme Three Podcast, co-host Bella Efstratis is joined by her good friend Matt Cochran, a cinephile and history buff, for a deep dive into America’s complex relationship with war in cinema. Together, they explore three films that arguably blur the line between being anti-war and glorifying it.

    Matt’s three film recommendations for this episode include:

    Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket (1987)Sam Mendes' Jarhead (2005)Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2009)

    Throughout the episode, Matt provides in-depth history lessons on each war depicted in the films we discuss, allowing us to analyze them not only within their historical contexts but also considering the cultural climate in which they were released.

    Together, we break down the elements we appreciated in each film while also reflecting on our own contradictions in grappling with the allure of war movies.

    And, of course, we dive into whether these films really hit the mark with their anti-war message or miss it entirely.

    Expect equal praise and criticism of these iconic films! We can't wait to hear your thoughts, so send us your takes and let us know what you think of ours!

    A LEGENDARY ACTOR'S SPOTLIGHT!

    This week on the Gimme Three Podcast, co-host Bella Efstratis is joined by actor, filmmaker, & writer Trey Armstrong to celebrate his favorite actor of all time, Denzel Washington.

    Trey recommends a brilliant variety of three incredible Denzel Washington films:

    First, we have Tony Scott's standout 1995 war thriller, Crimson Tide, featuring a young and powerful Denzel Washington going toe-to-toe with the legendary Gene Hackman.

    Next, we dive headfirst into Joel Coen's 2021 Shakespeare adaptation, The Tragedy of Macbeth, showcasing Denzel's Oscar-nominated performance as the titular character.

    Finally, we go back to 1995 for Trey's favorite Denzel film and one of his all-time best performances, as Easy Rawlins in Carl Franklin's neo-noir mystery thriller, Devil in a Blue Dress.

    Throughout these films, Denzel's remarkable talent and versatility shine as he dominates every scene and proves he can truly do it all.

    In this episode, Trey and Bella praise these three cinematic gems, discuss the state of the film industry, and share what our generation (Gen Z) wants to see in theaters.

    They just don't make movies like these anymore, so this is a call to action: Give us more Crimson Tides, and, most importantly, more Devil in a Blue Dress!

    As this is just the beginning of Denzel's brilliant filmography, expect more Denzel content to come in the future...

    So let us know what you think of this episode & tell us which three Denzel Washington films you'd like to see in the next episode!
