"Adaptation by Spike Jonze, written by Charlie Kaufman. Definitely my favorite of both of their films. I don’t wanna give anything away. Just watch it. It’s such a fucking great movie. Shout out to Spike."

"My next one is a fun movie. Tommy Boy is one of the funniest movies ever made. There’s few people in the world I wish were alive more than Chris Farley. I knew at the time, but even 20 years later showing my nephews all these comedies and SNL episodes from back in the day, Chris Farley is the thing they respond to having no backstory. "

"Mi Vida Loca is a female Hispanic gang movie directed by Allison Anders in the 90s and it is one of the greatest movies, and one that I don’t think a lot of people have seen. For the aesthetic alone, it’s incredible. Just a great great film about female gang members in a Hispanic neighborhood in L.A. in the 90s. I had never seen a gang movie from the female perspective. And it has one of the greatest snapshots of East L.A. at that time."

"Arguably the greatest screenplay of all time by Paddy Chayefsky. It’s just one of the best movies ever made. Any director you love, this is in their top 5 favorite movies. It has that famous line, like, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It really is about feeling fucked over by the system and not being down for it anymore. It’s truly the best screenplay ever."

"The Birdcage is a later Mike Nichols film written by Elaine May, who’s his old comedy partner, who’s also a brilliant genius and one of the first big female directors in Hollywood. Brilliant woman. It’s with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Hank Azaria gives an amazing performance, as does Gene Hackman. It’s just one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen."

"Mike Nichols’ most famous film is probably The Graduate. He passed away a couple years ago. Carnal Knowledge is with Jack Nicholson and it came out, I believe, before The Graduate or maybe right after. It was really, really boundary pushing, sexually, what they were doing and talking about in the film. It’s a great Jack Nicholson performance."

CB4 is an amazing spoof movie of, like, an NWA-like band, but they’re from the suburbs and they’re kind of pretending to be harder than they are.

"I hope Chris Rock sees this. I love CB4. It falls into the genre of - it’s almost a Wayne’s World but about NWA. It’s in the spoof movie genre. I’ll do a slash on this one—CB4 and Fear of a Black Hat, directed by Rusty Cundieff. CB4 was directed by my friend Tamra Davis, who’s an amazing director. She gave Spike Jonze his first directing job."

"One of the greatest films ever made. The poster is based on a Magritte painting. Peter Sellers is the star. It’s hysterical and so beautiful. The best movie there is about a naive."

"Shampoo stars Warren Beatty and it’s directed by Hal Ashby. It’s hysterical and it’s really satirical. Warren Beatty plays this playboy guy who works at a hair salon. He does all the women’s hair, and he ends up being this huge womanizer. It ultimately ends up being kind of like a commentary on that. I don’t know how it flies now, but I think it’s a comment on it because he ends up lonely and losing the love of his life. So it’s ultimately a cautionary tale. Warren Beatty at the height of being the GOAT, just killing it, and Hal Ashby...amazing."
