La Révolution, Netflix
“I’m a big history buff, specifically the late 1700s, the time of the French Revolution. One of my favorite French movies is Le Pacte des Loups starring Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci. La Révolution [with Gaia Weiss, above] has similar themes of secret societies, sorcery and betrayal that kept me on the edge of my seat.”
Quarterback, Netflix
“QB is the hardest position in team sports. When you watch QBs get hit over and over again, you ask yourself, ‘Who would ever want to do this?!’ These guys [including Patrick Mahomes, above] are absolute gladiators.”
The Lost Leonardo, Rent on Amazon
“I was amazed to see the politics at play between France and Saudi Arabia in relation to the painting and its authenticity. Some of the most powerful people in the world are central figures in this story!”
Untold: Swamp Kings, Netflix
“Having been a Gator QB myself, I think the doc does a great job of demonstrating the immense pressure and expectation in Gainesville [Florida] to win and win championships. Few college football fanbases demand success as much as Gator Nation.”
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, Max
“I’ve been to Italy several times, but my wife and I now want to visit Bologna and Sicily! I’m drooling thinking about the tagliatelle with ragù.”
The Bear, Hulu
“I loved Carmy [Jeremy Allen White] bringing Sydney [Ayo Edebiri, above] back on board as [head] chef. This season really focused on the relationships forged in the kitchen. There is a feeling of unity and family and making the restaurant their own shared experience and what they want it to be.”
