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.

Returning guest and friend of the show, Max Sopkin, returns for an in-depth episode on the legendary Barbra Streisand.
After watching all nineteen of Streisand's films, Max has selected three that highlight the range, talent, and overall superstardom that Barbra possesses.
- We start with Barbra Streisand's on-screen debut, her Oscar-winning performance in Funny Girl.
- Second, a little-known and underrated gem, Up The Sandbox.
- Finally, Streisand's powerhouse voice and superstar aura are on full display in the 1976 rock musical A Star Is Born.
Also in this episode, Max ranks all nineteen of Streisand's films, and Sonja Mereu delivers a special movie minute about the new Ryan Coogler hit, Sinners.
