The director
Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
The director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High talks about one of her favorite actors, Peter Lorre; Federico Fellini’s “ultimate explanation of creativity”; and her choice for the most heartbreaking film of all time.
What they took
7 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. None of them is a box set, so the count of choices and the count of films reached are the same.
Least-picked choice here: I vitelloni, taken by nobody else.

Their seven single films come from five different countries, with no one of them leading.
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.

Their decades
Their seven 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.
