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.
Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles
35 - Gena Rowlands Tribute
Earlier this month, we lost one of the most important, innovative, and courageous actors in American cinema, Gena Rowlands. Gena left behind a collection of jaw-dropping performances and an unforgettable approach to her craft.
In this episode, co-hosts Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis discuss three of Gena’s memorable characters, all collaborating with her creative partner/husband, John Cassavetes.
- The boozy, gripping, mid-life crisis-induced Faces.
- The enigmatic fever dream called Opening Night
- Gena’s Academy Award-nominated performance in Gloria
Our producer, Sonja Mereu, also discusses perhaps her most famous role in A Woman Under the Influence in a segment we call Sonja’s Movie Minute.
