This week on the Gimme Three Podcast, we’re gearing up for Kinds of Kindness with a thrilling Yorgos Lanthimos Spotlight episode!

While the brilliant Nicholas Ybarra is off making some movie magic this week, co-host Bella Efstratis is joined by her long-time friend and a true Yorgos aficionado, Michel Eljaiek.

For this week’s episode, Michel has handpicked three extraordinary Yorgos films for us to thoroughly dissect:

• The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) featuring Barry Keoghan’s unforgettable portrayal of the most terrifying teenager in modern cinema.
• Lanthimos’ odd and mysterious exploration of grief, identity, and humanity in his underrated gem, Alps (2011).
• Concluding with Lanthimos’ original masterpiece and haunting family drama/comedy, Dogtooth.

Yorgos fans, this episode is for you! (Many spoilers ahead, so we recommend watching these films before listening!)

Pixar changed the animation industry forever. As we prepare for this week's release of Inside Out 2, we decided to explore some of our (and your) favorite Pixar films.

Our friend and returning guest, Max Sopkin (see our musical episodes), joins us for this episode. We kick it off with the film that started it all, 1995's Toy Story.

Co-host Nick offers up the gorgeous and emotional wallop Coco.

Our final film of the episode was voted on by you, our listeners—Ratatouille. This sparked a vibrant debate that you won't want to miss.

Let us know what you think of these Pixar films and more. A second installment of our Pixar exploration will be released this Thursday.

In the exciting conclusion to our Queer Horror episodes, Nick, Bella, and guest Jess McLaughlin discuss the absurd, the heart-wrenching, the sexy, and the majesty of three marquee movies.

The odd but pertinent sequel, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, kicks off our episode as we do a deep dive not only into the film but the noteworthy queer legacy of the picture.

The underappreciated 2002 gem May is second on the docket.

And we complete the episode (and the week) with the modern cult classic Jennifer’s Body.

All of this - PLUS more discussion about Jess’ upcoming Queer Horror film PANGS, which you can learn more about by visiting https://www.abnormalfilm.com/.

The crowdfunding campaign for PANGS opens on June 18th - and that will be your chance to help Jess see her incredible vision come to life. Visit the website above to stay up to date with all things PANGS.

Earlier this month, we lost one of the most significant figures in the history of the film industry, Roger Corman.

Corman's illustrious career can't be narrowed down to three films, so we opted to pick three of his directorial films that helped shape American pop culture.

We start with his 1960 gem Little Shop Of Horrors, the gold standard for independent filmmaking and the movie that sparked a decades-long running Broadway play and a very successful musical adaptation.

Corman's passion project, The Intruder, highlights the filmmaker's deeper side as an artist. The raw and horrific film stands out against most of his directorial and production work.

Lastly, we take a trip to the late 1960s with The Trip - a film about… well, tripping. Tripping balls, in fact! LSD!

Join us as Nick and Bella discuss Corman's brilliant work and wildly entertaining stories about the making of these films.
