"This came out when I was probably 19, 20. I've always loved it, it was a big inspiration on me. It's sort of classy, another cocktail and cityscape record. Her voice is equally soothing as the music, and it's rare that you have a singer with that sort of voice sits so well over the music. I've recently been really into saxophones, and I thinks that's why I'm drawn to the Bohren record as well, and there's an instrumental on this album that's so pretty and carried by the saxophone. The saxophone is almost like a voice to me, it sounds as if somebody is saying something through the instrument."

Joel McHale recommended Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) in Movies (curated)

"Then I’m gonna go with the Holy Grail. I think these movies always get pushed aside as being silly and yes, they are silly, which is one of the intents of the movies. It was just, as a child, and as I grew up and watched them as an adult, they were one of the reasons why I was like, “Oh, you don’t have to think the way that everybody thinks” — these guys just did whatever they wanted to do, and their imaginations ran wild. They were always a huge inspiration, and so that movie was such a great capsule of that. And so funny. So good."

David Koechner recommended Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) in Movies (curated)

"I saw it when I was 13 and it had an amazing impact on me, I couldn’t believe something was so funny and so smart. The level of writing is so crazy; it’s a continual inspiration. It blew my mind. I was at home babysitting my younger siblings. My parents were out dancing, and it came on at 1:30 AM. I would watch Saturday Night Live, and it was on after. I thought it was a horror film to start because it’s dark and there’s the pop-pop-pop and there’s smog. In the movie, that’s their preamble thing that I missed, so I didn’t know it was a comedy."
