Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
The writer and director talks about how Girlfight reflects the vibrant spirit of director Karyn Kusama, praises Topsy-Turvy as his favorite Mike Leigh film, and takes home Hell’s Angels to watch with his wife, Hollywood historian Karina Longworth.
What they took
4 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: Hell’s Angels, taken by nobody else.

United States accounts for three of their four single 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.

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.
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.
