In this brief interview segment, the two participants exchange thoughts on the filmmakers and movies that shaped their creative outlooks. One speaker cites Steven Spielberg as a primary storytelling influence, recalling the impact of seeing Jurassic Park for the first time. The conversation also touches on their media habits, noting a childhood spent largely on YouTube, and contrasts that with the other speaker’s recent viewing of Spider‑Man 3, despite not having seen the earlier installments of the franchise. The dialogue is informal and reflective, highlighting how early cinematic experiences and online video culture inform their current work.

One of the first people that really inspired me, I think, was probably Steven Spielberg.
Really?
Yeah. I mean, he's one of the greatest storytellers ever. What was the first movie that you saw where you're like, oh my God, I was blown away? For me, it was Jurassic Park. I only watched YouTube growing up. What was the last movie that you watched?
Well, I watched the Spider-Man 3 one, but I never saw the earlier ones.
Really? Yeah.
I watched a ton of anime, but weirdly enough, like growing up, I didn't listen to music or watch movies, so I was like so out of culture. Part of why I was an introvert.
