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.

This week is the return of one of our most popular themes from 2024, Christmas or Not? Bella and Nick debate about some of the historically contested films - are these Christmas movies or ain’t they?
You can help us decide!
- We start with one of the most quintessential films in the Christmas-or-not debate. It is also one of the most quintessential films in American history. Jimmy Stewart stars in Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life.
- Second, Chris Columbus and Joe Dante team up for a brilliant blend of horror, comedy, and the holiday season in the cult-classic Gremlins.
- Finally, two comedic legends, Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, team up in the wildly popular film, Trading Places.
Our friend Ryan Lacen also stops by for a new segment, the One-Minute Movie Rebuttal, to defend his beloved Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
