Some of them still carrying, like, old men carrying the Leonard Maltin film guide and then making notes on it and that type of stuff.

I think movies have been a part of my life since I could remember movies.

My parents were super into it.

They always had the TV on.

Someone was always watching something.

I think I really got into parody as a kid, like classic movies through parody, like Naked Gun or The Simpsons or Muppet Babies, anything like that.

realizing that everything, like in a lot of kids' television, there's always references to things that are not for kids.

And like Pinky and the Brain.

Pinky and the Brain is Maurice LaMarche doing an impression of Orson Welles as a little mouse.

So that's like, okay, who's Orson Welles?

And getting through that.

And then seeing Citizen Kane, I remember watching that with my mom and being like completely blown away.

All these influences that became important in my life were always through movies.

and I show them this movie, I will gauge their reaction, and I'll be like, oh, this is a person I would like to spend time with if they understand this.

I think it's the defining part of my personality is sharing films with other people.

I think it's a thing that I am known... I make myself...

known to do.

Like I recommend movies to my friends all the time.

Uh, I have like movies going to movies with like, it's, it's definitely a way I express myself.

And like, if I want, if somebody important is in my life, I've given them tests by showing the movies or I've at least like, what kind of test would it be?
