“He’s a real cinephile,” she continued. “That’s something that people would maybe be surprised to know. He knows about more movies than the Letterboxd place that I go to. And he drags me to all the scariest movies that I don’t want to see. So, that’s something he likes to do, is take me to scary movies.”
