The actor tries not to “get greedy” and zeroes in on a few choices for his friends.

01

What they took

3 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. One is a box set, which is why 3 choices reach 5 films.

Sweden accounts for one of their two single films. The one box set is what carry the reach to 5 films.

02

Closest taste

Jaccard overlap against every other visit, counted on what came off the shelf rather than on films, so a shared box set counts once rather than as the films inside it.

403 visits compared · 31 filmed-together pairs excluded

Nobody close enough to name

A visit needs at least 5 choices to be compared at all, and a pair at least 2 in common to count as close. This visit took 3, so it sits out of the comparison.

03

Their decades

Their two single films with a release year on record, against where every guest's single-film picks land. Box sets are left out of both sides, so the two bars measure the same thing.
