What kind of a show are you guys putting on here today?

You're not interested in art?

No.

Now look, we're going to do this thing. We're going to have a conversation.

From Chicago, this is film spotting. I'm Adam Kempinar.

And I'm Josh Larson.

I could go ahead and turn back into my normal self right now, if you like.

It's not that different from how you see me already.

When Michael Serra joined the Wes Anderson players this year in the Phoenician scheme, there was much rejoicing as the two had long seemed destined to work together.

There may have been a little bit more rejoicing when Leonardo DiCaprio appeared in his first Paul Thomas Anderson film.

This week, we'll try to manifest more pairings like that with the top five actor-director combos we'd like to see.

Plus, Benny Safdi's The Smashing Machine, and more ahead on film spotting.

See what I mean?

Basically the same person.

No, you're different.

Welcome to film spotting.

It's a new movie week, Josh,

but one battle after another
