  • The comedian, actor, and director talks about loving the relatable weirdness of GREY GARDENS and the compulsive passion of CRUMB; praises Miranda July’s singular, offbeat voice; and shares how THE 400 BLOWS (a Natasha Lyonne recommendation) evokes empathy for the pains of growing up.

    She had me at "most people in the Criterion closet don't know how to hold a tote bag." After that, I smiled all the way through.

    It is kind of refreshing to see a filmmaker pick out a particular Blu-Ray and hear her admit she hasn't seen it yet. It's something you don't see every day on this channel.

    I saw her two days in a row in NYC. The second time, I was standing behind her on line at a coffee shop. I broke my habit of leaving celebs alone because I was in my peak Brooklyn Nine Nine phase. Told her it was the second time in as many days. She said it must be fate and the abruptly turned back around 👏🏼👏🏼

    She was on the christmas panel show, "big fat quiz of the year," and the Host Jimmy Carr was introducing her saying, "we're so happy you agreed to come on." She said," I googled all of you and didn't know anyone, but I appreciate the free trip to London." Love her so much

    We watched "The Red Balloon" multiple years during my elementary school run, which, in hindsight, was a little odd because I grew up in the burbs in Houston, TX. I've asked other folks that went to school in other parts of Texas if they watched it as kids and they look at me like I have two heads. Maybe it was more of a generational thing than a regional thing, but, whatever the case, I love that little film.

    Girlfriends from 1978 . I was 20 and either right before or after I went to Army Basic Training then college. I was clueless about women. I watched this film and was probably even more confused. But I went drinking with friends which was something I could handle well back then. 🤣Trainspotting was fantastic. Films like 'The 400 Blows' its better if you clear your mind's cache that you are sitting down to watch a famous Director. Then you find yourself caught up in the characters and let it take you where it should. I'll admit I went to see many of these films because I wanted to absorb Art in film, galleries, Theater and more but luckily I just fell in without feeling like I was fulfilling some character building obligation. Funny how it goes.
