Favorite Media

Ryan will turn up at the theater for anything that Christopher Nolan makes, and thinks Tenet is underrated (“Don’t try to understand it, feel it.”) He passionately believes that Tom Cruise is the single most reliably entertaining movie star alive and agrees with Spielberg that the man saved Hollywood’s butt. Ryan is also desperately hoping for Hannibal season 4.
