Gimme Three Podcast - 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 to 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.
The Gimme Three podcast aims to encourage people to return to the theater and expand their watch lists through fun banter and passionate analysis.
Gimme Three Podcast - A Series For Cinephiles
60 - Denzel Washington x Spike Lee (feat. Trey Armstrong)
To celebrate our first anniversary, we are spotlighting two of our favorite filmmakers and artists. In today’s episode, we explore the collaborations of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington, a potent and mesmerizing cinematic duo.
- You, our listening audience, voted for our first film - the surprising and gripping heist film Inside Man.
- Second - Spike and Denzel team up for one of the most seminal films of the last century, Malcolm X.
- Finally, Spike’s eccentric follow-up to Do The Right Thing features Denzel Washington as an egocentric jazz musician in Mo’ Better Blues.
We are grateful to explore these films with returning guest and friend of the podcast, Trey Armstrong.
