Hi this is Steve. It can be a scary thing to recommend something you love. Of course, you hope they'll love it just as much as you do, but what if they don't? What if they hate it or even make fun of it? In a weird way, exposing something you love means exposing

a little bit of yourself. I fell in love with Albert Brooks' lost in America the first time

I rented it on VHS way back in the late 80s. I thought it was

one of the funniest movies I had ever seen, so when I found out that John hadn't

seen it, I just couldn't wait for him to watch it so we could discuss the film on the cinnophiles.

But then, as soon as we actually put the recording in our calendar, I started to worry.

What if he didn't like it? spoiler alert. He didn't. So does the fact that

we had very different feelings about the movie mean that we didn't have a great

conversation? Nope.

The opposite is true.

We had an absolutely fantastic conversation.

And so I'm going to do something even scarier than recommending a movie I love to a friend. I'm going to recommend it to all of you. So head over to cinephiles.net

where you can buy or stream lost in America to determine for yourself how you feel about this film then come back on Friday to give you a great

discussion between two friends who disagree on the cinephiles.

Please do me a favor, don't use the word. You may not use that word, it's off limits to you.

Only those in this house who understand Nest Egg may use it, and don't use any part of it either.

Don't use Nest, don't use Egg.

If you're out in the forest, you can a bird lives in a round stick and and you have things over easy with toast. Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the

world of a great film we explore its themes the history the filmmaking and

the influence it has on us today.

My name is Steve Morris.

I'm a filmmaker directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.
