“All right my next pick is going to be Medium Cool because I haven't seen it but I love Robert Forster. He was often overlooked it always felt like he was in a lot of B movies. Obviously you know Tarantino gave his career another surge with Jackie Brown but I've always seen clips of this and it looks pretty incredible so let's check it out.”

“Yes, Medium Cool. Medium Cool I have not seen for a very long time. My mom took me to see Medium Cool as a little guy, a film by Haskell Wexler. And I remember Medium Cool was a film that looked like a world I didn't know and I wanted to step into that world. And thank you for reuniting me with a beautiful copy of Medium Cool.”
