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.

In our 100th episode, we invited you, our audience, to select the films we’d discuss.
In a mini-tournament which included the top films from three different lists:
- Sight and Sound Magazine’s Greatest Films of All Time
- IMDb’s highest rated films of all time
- Letterboxd’s highest rated films of all time
These were the films you selected:
- We open with the American masterpiece that changed the crime genre and cinema as a whole: Francis Ford Coppola’s brilliant epic, The Godfather.
- Second, the master Alfred Hitchcock is at the top of his game in this gorgeous but wildly unnerving psychological thriller, Vertigo.
- Finally, Sidney Lumet delivers the goods in his debut feature film, 12 Angry Men, a boiling pot of tension.
