Guest
Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
The Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins and his collaborator James Deakins—who discuss filmmaking on their podcast, Team Deakins —share stories about the heyday of punk, childhood memories of watching The Seventh Seal, and commentary about one of the most stunning black-and-white films ever made.
What they took
13 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: Fires on the Plain, taken by nobody else.

Their 13 single films come from eight 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 13 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.
