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.

Music Videos (feat. Sonja Mereu)
This week, we’re stepping away from the cinema and turning our attention to the world of music videos.
Joined by returning guest and producer Sonja Mereu, we dive into nine standout videos that span genres, decades, and styles—each one iconic in its own right and packed with amazing visual storytelling.
Check out the lineup:
- Take On Me by A-ha
- Express Yourself by Madonna
- Telephone by Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé
- Doin’ Time (cover) by Lana Del Rey
- Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot
- California Love by 2Pac, Roger, & Dr. Dre
- November Rain by Guns N’ Roses
- Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
- Locket by Crumb
In this episode, Sonja shares her love for Madonna, Nick unpacks the dark story behind November Rain, and Bella introduces the crew to the groovy—and underappreciated—psychedelic rock band, Crumb.
