For me I’m torn between The Green Book (what were they thinking), The Artist (really, it’s a gimmick) and Slumdog Millionaire. I don’t hold much love for Gladiator either. What are your choices? - Belinda, Chicago   Hello Slash film team! For horror lovers, specifically Chris, but I'd love to hear from all of you: What was the first horror film that truly terrified you and made you fall in love with the genre? Similar question for HT and all: What was the first animated film you loved that helped cement your love for the genre? Love the show, big fan of everyone, Chris, HT, Ben, Brad, Chris, and you Jacob. Also I like the Gargantuan book of insults, offense, and offrentry. - Pablo from Fort Wayne, Indiana   All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
