“Mikey and Nicky, Elaine May, written and directed by her. John Cassavetes, incredible. I mean, you just have two childhood best friends, and like, Nicky's kind of like in this delusion, you know, he thinks he's going to get murdered and killed, and you realize that it's true. I can watch this over and over every day. I'm really excited for this. Thank you.”

“After Life, Kore-eda. I love this film. It's shot in this documentary style, and I'm sure you guys have seen this film, or maybe not, but it's very emotional, a slow burn, but just so perfect.”

“If there's one film I champion for people to see, it's Memories of Murder. Bong Joon Ho's, I think it was his second film. You'll never see as many running dropkicks in any movie than Memories of Murder. It's so good. You go on this journey between two of these police officers, and it becomes more about their story, but as they're navigating this, you know, trying to find the serial killer, it's so incredible. It's so funny, but it's dark. Memories of Murder.”

“EO. Love this film. It's kind of sad in a way. I kind of felt like I was the donkey. Yeah, it's for me.”

“Eyes Without a Face. This was recommended to me. Shout out to Patrick.”

“Le Samouraï. I can't really say it properly. Alain Delon, one of the best actors ever.”

“You guys have Swimming Pool? La piscine, Alain Delon. Incredible film.”

“Oh, Cure. Oh, I need to slow down. I need to slow down. This is a problem. We have so many movies.”

“Do you guys have Drive My Car? Love this movie. Long movie, incredible movie, beautiful movie. One of those films that says so much with so little, and there's so much happening, but it's so simple and subtle. It's one of those movies you have to just really breathe through. I love this movie.”

“Robert Altman, Short Cuts. One of Julianne Moore's first films, I think, and I've heard great things. Going to see that.”

“I love 3 Women. 3 Women is here somewhere. Right here. I was recommended this film from Todd Haynes. He had a list of films for us to watch before filming May December, and it was funny because everyone on set was like passing around Todd Haynes's movie list. They're like, "Do you have it?" I was like, "Yeah, I have it. How much money you got?" No, no, no, no, no. But that film was on there.”

“Oh my gosh, one of my favorite movies, Safe by Todd Haynes. This movie is so, you feel so much. I mean, if you haven't seen this film, it is, it's so beautiful, and we just sit in these masters, and you're just feeling all these different things, and it's really, and Julianne Moore, she's so, so, so incredible in this. I'm very happy. I'm going to get Todd to sign this.”

“So, I asked a friend for a recommendation, and she asked, "What do you want to feel?" And I said, "Sorrowful hope." And she goes, "A Special Day is a film you need to see." And so I'm going to end on this. I'm so excited to see this film. I've heard great things from this person, and thank you so much for having me.”

“And I'm going to take WALL•E. I promise this is my last one. Great film.”
