United States accounts for two of their four single 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 4, so it sits out of the comparison.

03

Their decades

Their four 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.
