Anderson does have such a unique style.

Do you think that when he works on the Dahl shorts and on the feature, does it become more Andersonian?

Does it become more Dahlian?

Is there a blending of the two?

Oh, it's a blend.

That's the best way to put it, because one of the things that Roald Dahl did for television that wasn't with Hitchcock

was he hosted his own anthology show in England.

And he introduced it himself, acting like a sort of Alfred Hitchcock or a sort of Rod Serling.

And he would sit in his little armchair, the place where he actually did his writing, and film introductions to his stories.

Well, Wes Anderson took that and had Ralph Fiennes play Roald Dahl introducing the story.

So he adopted one of Roald Dahl's television shows as himself as the host to play with that and enter into a world which was less real than surreal.

So it was definitely a blending of the two, but very respectful.

Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it.

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s.

Thank you for finishing that sentence.

Yes.
