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.

83 - Michael Madsen: An American Badass
Earlier this month, the cinephile community lost another tremendous performer. In this episode, Nick & Bella pay tribute to the ever-cool and always hypnotic Michael Madsen.
The duo discusses Madsen’s unique approach to the art and craft of acting and delves into some of his most famous roles, as well as some of his lesser-known performances.
- We start with Quentin Tarantino’s debut feature film, Reservoir Dogs, which features Madsen’s iconic and psychotic dance/torture scene.
- Second, a hidden gem: Trouble Bound, where Michael Madsen plays the romantic lead opposite Patricia Arquette in an endearing crime-rom-com.
- Lastly, we discuss 1995’s wildly successful sci-fi thriller Species.
Let us know what your favorite Michael Madsen performance is!
