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.

106 - A Very '90s New Year! (feat. Sonja Mereu): 200 Cigarettes, Four Rooms, & Strange Days

Join Nick and Sonja as they ring in the New Year the best way they know how - by going back to the 1990s. In this episode, we visit '90s New Year's films!
- We start with the 1999 MTV Films production of 200 Cigarettes. Sure, it takes place in 1981, but the film is still oozing with all of the '90s tropes and charm you can’t get enough of.
- Second, we visit the anthology film by Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Alexandre Rockwell, and Allison Anders, in which Tim Roth stars. Four Rooms.
- Finally, we look at the dystopian action thriller that’s co-written by James Cameron and directed by Kathryn Bigelow: the underappreciated masterpiece, Strange Days.
