Chicagoan, playwright, and actor Tracy Letts checks out the Criterion Closet, but not just to snap up some discs. He says up top that he’s a huge physical media collector, and has been so for 25 years, so he owns everything in the closet already. So instead of picking up movies to check out, he chooses a ton simply to recommend and talks briefly about why he’s chosen each recommendation.
