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
44 - Horror Films Directed by Women pt. 2 (feat. Jess McLaughlin)
And we’re back with Part II!
In this episode, Nick, Bella, and Jess return to discuss three more brilliant horror films directed by women, each from a different era and offering a distinct twist on the genre.
- Jess picked Tiger Stripes (2023), Amanda Nell Eu’s bold coming-of-age body horror.
- Nick selected The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), Amy Holden Jones' feminist slasher that cleverly subverts the genre’s typical tropes.
- And celebrating her favorite horror movie's 10 year anniversary, Bella chose Jennifer Kent's masterfully crafted and hauntingly beautiful tale, The Babadook (2014).
From hidden gems to cult classics and everything in between, this episode has it all. We hope you’ve enjoyed this series and can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
