And thank you for your womanhood and your insightfulness.

So we'll start with Thriller, obviously.

Like a little shelf recommended by the High Council.

What's a thematic quintet of films that we would select to represent our tastes and interests and speak highly of physical media?

That's the thing.

I think that the...

The craft of physical media is really peering down, like, exploitation, horror, you know, these extreme subgenres.

So you're not thinking as much of, like, Forrest Gump is now available on 4K, you know, but a lot of that stuff is also available.

So what represents this project?

Well, I was going to say, like, one samurai movie, one Italian crime movie, one, you know, we can say, like, what are the kind of pet interests of each council member?

Nice.

My go-to is always The Third Man, which now has like multiple editions that you can find of the movie.

I think it's one of the richest and most interesting men.

It's a huge influence on Miller's Crossing.

I'm fascinated by post-war collisions of noir and crime movies.

And it's the kind of movie that I think is best appreciated with like a really high quality edition of the movie because it's a black and white film.

that has like this amazing cinematography, this black and white photography.

And it kind of has like an interest in like perverting perspective.

You know, like every time you see a character, the way that they're shot indicates how the film feels about that character.

And it's like one of the great powers of cinema is that like it's not like watching a stage play or even a television show, which is usually standard, like on a tripod, you know, the camera's not moving a lot.
