Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles

Send us a text

Happy Belated Mother’s Day! We love our mothers, and we love film. So what better way to celebrate than to discuss three unforgettable mother characters in cinema?

In part one of two, Nick & Bella opens the show with a few very heavy but powerful films. Brie Larson’s Academy Award-winning performance in Room is on the docket (yeah… heavy).

We follow that up with what is widely considered to be one of the greatest performances of all time: Gena Rowlands's performance as Mabel in A Woman Under The Influence. (I told you… heavy!)

Thankfully, we ease it up with the crowd favorite Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Who doesn’t love that movie, right? Right?

Also, throughout the episode, Bella and Nick remember the films they watched repeatedly with their mothers and make a philosophical comparison between tea and coffee.
