In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three real-life friends broke into the Mexican and International film scenes and made their mark on the art form. Since then, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo Del Toro, and Alejandro González Iñárritu have delivered several masterpieces and won several Academy Awards.

In this episode, we highlight three of the filmmaker's finest early works:

• We start with Alfonso Cuarón’s breathtaking coming-of-age story, Y tu mamá también.
• Second, Guillermo Del Toro delivers a brilliant antifascist ghost story in The Devil’s Backbone.
• Finally, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s feature film debut is a breathless, gut-wrenching drama, Amores Perros.

Let us know what you think of these outstanding films!

Returning guest and friend of the show, Max Sopkin, returns for an in-depth episode on the legendary Barbra Streisand. After watching all nineteen of Streisand's films, Max has selected three that highlight the range, talent, and overall superstardom that Barbra possesses.

- We start with Barbra Streisand's on-screen debut, her Oscar-winning performance in Funny Girl.

- Second, a little-known and underrated gem, Up The Sandbox.

- Finally, Streisand's powerhouse voice and superstar aura are on full display in the 1976 rock musical A Star Is Born.

With Baseball season in full swing, we thought it’d be appropriate to dive into classic films that find a home on the diamond. America’s Favorite Pastime is the pastime of the Gimme Three Podcast this week.

Listen to host Nicholas Ybarra's torment over his love/hate relationship with the sport, and find out if host Bella Efstratis was finally able to shed a tear for a sports movie.

• First up, the 1976 Michael Ritchie classic, The Bad News Bears. Crude, rude, and profane - but loaded with heart.
• Second, one of Nick’s favorite films of all time: Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own.
• Finally, our audience selected one of the most beloved modern baseball films; Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane in Moneyball.

Let us know what you think of these fantastic flicks, and let us know what your favorite baseball film is.
