01:40Hey, good question. Chuba, Kristen, let me see a proper costume.
01:47Well, I'm thinking I'm just going backwards to forwards in my most recent memory.
01:51So Wicked, Paul Taswell, that name rings out like a bell.
01:59What a great artist he is. And wait till you see what he's put me in and everybody else.
02:07Golly, he's good. So that Wicked costume, I'll bet you've already seen it around.
02:11Well, you know, representations of it. It is something I might say.
02:14I had it on my body. It's something. So, sure.
02:18You know, I can imagine being here or many places. Let's see what else.

03:02I'd have because I see movies from every decade and era.
03:05So they're all swimming around in my brain such as it is.
03:09So, God, I'd have to remind myself of what came out this year.
03:15Well, we're with one of my favorites.
03:18Oh, OK. Stop right there. Denis Villeneuve.
03:22I think I'm pronouncing that correctly is going to be here tonight.
03:24I can't wait to see him and give him a hug and a and a appropriate smooch on each French cheek of his.
03:31I think that's what I can do. Hey, he's fantastic.
