A LEGENDARY ACTOR'S SPOTLIGHT!
This week on the Gimme Three Podcast, co-host Bella Efstratis is joined by actor, filmmaker, & writer Trey Armstrong to celebrate his favorite actor of all time, Denzel Washington.
Trey recommends a brilliant variety of three incredible Denzel Washington films:
- First, we have Tony Scott's standout 1995 war thriller, Crimson Tide, featuring a young and powerful Denzel Washington going toe-to-toe with the legendary Gene Hackman.
- Next, we dive headfirst into Joel Coen's 2021 Shakespeare adaptation, The Tragedy of Macbeth, showcasing Denzel's Oscar-nominated performance as the titular character.
- Finally, we go back to 1995 for Trey's favorite Denzel film and one of his all-time best performances, as Easy Rawlins in Carl Franklin's neo-noir mystery thriller, Devil in a Blue Dress.
Throughout these films, Denzel's remarkable talent and versatility shine as he dominates every scene and proves he can truly do it all.
In this episode, Trey and Bella praise these three cinematic gems, discuss the state of the film industry, and share what our generation (Gen Z) wants to see in theaters.
They just don't make movies like these anymore, so this is a call to action: Give us more Crimson Tides, and, most importantly, more Devil in a Blue Dress!
As this is just the beginning of Denzel's brilliant filmography, expect more Denzel content to come in the future...
So let us know what you think of this episode & tell us which three Denzel Washington films you'd like to see in the next episode!
