The prolific writer and creator of the popular film podcast You Must Remember This stopped by for a visit and picked up an eclectic mix of old Hollywood and art-house classics.
What they took
10 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. One is a box set, which is why 10 choices reach 12 films.
Least-picked choice here: The Marseille Trilogy, taken by nobody else.

Their nine single films come from six different countries, with no one of them leading. The one box set is what carry the reach to 12 films.
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. Nothing this visit took was taken twice over by anybody else.
Their decades
Their nine 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.
