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
42 - Hispanic Horrors (feat. Felix Martiz)
We kick off our month-long horror film extravaganza by also celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. In this episode (a re-release from a 2020 Film Forward episode), co-host Nicholas Ybarra chats with award-winning filmmaker Felix Martiz, and they each provide three outstanding horror films by Hispanic filmmakers.
Ybarra and Martiz discuss these incredible films:
- Issa Lopez' beautiful and grounded cartel-inspired horror, Tigers Are Not Afraid.
- Mexico's 1968 classic (in every sense of the word) Even The Wind Is Afraid.
- If you're curious about tentacle lovin', you may be into the bizarre and freaky film The Untamed.
- Next, we gush over Robert Rodriguez's homage to grindhouse cinema, Planet Terror.
- We can't do a Hispanic Horrors episode without talking about Guillermo Del Toro's anti-fascist horror film, The Devil's Backbone.
- George Romero's Dawn of the Dead takes on a whole new meaning when viewed through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.
