Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles

Gimme Three is a love letter to one of the most powerful mediums of artistic expression - a love letter to the films that moved us and the great experiences we've had watching them.
In each episode, hosts Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis (and frequent special guests) will pick three incredible movies based on a selected theme.

Through fun banter and passionate analysis, the Gimme Three podcast aims to get people back to the theater and expand their watch lists, one listener at a time.

Happy Pride, everyone! In honor of Pride Month, we’re celebrating with a specially curated selection of some of the greatest queer love stories in cinema!

Join Nick and Bella as they discuss three of the most celebrated, impressive, and romantic queer love stories ever told. We’re talking all about the visual beauty of these films and the touching love stories within.

Bella introduces one of her all-time favorite films, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which she regards as the greatest romance film ever made.

Nick follows with the equally brilliant and unforgettable Best Picture-winner Moonlight.

Finally, we delve into one of the most iconic and culturally impactful queer love stories in mainstream cinema, Brokeback Mountain.

If you love tragic love stories, you'll adore part one of our Queer Love Stories series. Let us know what you think of these films, and send us your three favorite queer love stories in film!

Don’t miss this episode, and stay tuned for part two coming later this week!
