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.

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 six 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.
