I rewatched Peter Jackson’s King Kong in advance of your event. Since then I have been thinking about Adrien Brody’s acting career. Would you all pontificate on his strengths, limitations and career trajectory? I find him super watchable and his face wonderfully expressive, which makes him a fine film actor.

As a child of the 80s I lament the passing of the buddy cop genre. What, if any, genres or specific types of movies do you guys miss in the 2020s. Ross from Kilmarnock, Scotland.

I just joined the 4k team with a TV and 4k Blu Ray Player. What are some must have classic B&W (or color say pre-1970's) 4k releases? I bought the Criterion "Double Indemnity" combo pack a year ago when it came out and just watched the 4k disc and thoroughly enjoyed it (even though I've seen it at least 5 times before). I've been eyeing up the Hitchcock collection (HUGE fan of Vertigo and Rear Window) and Criterion Citizen Kane of course. -Keith in Baltimore

I know you guys like to say “it’s okay to like a movie,” but are there any movies that are an exception to that rule? movies that you personally hate so much you can’t justify anyone enjoying it? -Elane from Alabama

Any advice for watching older movies? Let’s say 1970’s and older. I had a hard time watching Marnie with Sean Connery recently because I felt the pacing was slow. -Scott from Walnut Creek, CA
