The Meaning of Life
When we were growing up we'd watch Life of Brian and the Meaning of Life, and all these Phyton films and love them. So, then, yeah, seeing next film by those guys, that was a huge deal for us growing up.

A Fish Called Wanda
In the next video, Waititi talks about growing up and watching all the Python films and loving them and how “A Fish Called Wanda” was “a huge deal for us when growing up.”
Swingers
Turns out, that all began when he was just a young man geeking out over the cool aesthetic of Doug Liman’s “Swingers.” As Waititi tells it, the film hit “during that period of super cool cinema…it was about underground actors and it was very rock and roll.” Check out the video below.

Being There
Even the films like Being There or Network, or films with the insane characters who become super popular in the American public eye. Or Face in the Crowd, like, that’s happening right now in your politics. Right now. Life goes beyond often in terms of ridiculous situations coming through.
