Montemagno revisits films and series he says he has watched, trying to understand the common thread in his tastes. He appreciates the encouraging tone of Sing 2, the performances in The Big Short and Space Force, and the newsroom dynamics of The Morning Show, which he relates to his television experience. He also mentions Suspicion, Ted Lasso and Ozark, discussing character development and the quality he attributes to recent screenwriting. The Tinder Swindler prompts reflections on trust in relationships, while the portion of Rooney he says he has watched leads him to consider the pressure of very early fame and media exposure.
