It’s Election Week! As we all know, this week can be both exhilarating and highly stressful. So, if you need a break from doom scrolling and news coverage, The Gimme Three Podcast has you covered.

In this week’s episode, co-host Nicholas Ybarra and guest David Chiu tackle Gimme Three Presidential Films!

• We start with John Frankenheimer’s political thriller, 7 Days In May.
• In a similar but true story - the pulse-pounding intricacies of the Cuban Missile Crisis are on display in the film Thirteen Days.
• Philip Baker Hall tears the house down in the one-person show on film Secret Honor - directed by the great Robert Altman.
• We stick with the subject of Richard Nixon in Ron Howard’s juicy film Frost/Nixon.
• Bryan Cranston takes his mesmerizing stage performance to the screen as he portrays Lydon B. Johnson in All The Way.
• Finally, we end the episode on a more romantic note. In Southside With You, we spend one day with President Barack Obama… on his first date with Michelle.

We round out our weeks-long celebration of female horror directors by revisiting a 2022 interview with the great Katt Shea, one of Nicholas Ybarra's favorite filmmakers.

Katt Shea started as an actress and worked her way into the director's chair, starting under the Roger Corman umbrella. Her films Stripped To Kill, Streets, and The Rage: Carrie 2 have all garnered cult-film status. But perhaps her most well-known and memorable film is the sizzling 1992 thriller Poison Ivy, starring Drew Barrymore.

In this in-depth discussion, Shea revisits some of her career highlights and gives us a peek into her creative process as she discusses her recent Netflix film, Rescued By Ruby.

And we’re back with Part II!

In this episode, Nick, Bella, and Jess return to discuss three more brilliant horror films directed by women, each from a different era and offering a distinct twist on the genre.

- Jess picked Tiger Stripes (2023), Amanda Nell Eu’s bold coming-of-age body horror.

- Nick selected The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), Amy Holden Jones' feminist slasher that cleverly subverts the genre’s typical tropes.

- And celebrating her favorite horror movie's 10 year anniversary, Bella chose Jennifer Kent's masterfully crafted and hauntingly beautiful tale, The Babadook (2014).

From hidden gems to cult classics and everything in between, this episode has it all. We hope you’ve enjoyed this series and can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
