b'This week sees another episode of our Movie Gifts podcast. It\\u2019s like Secret Santa but for movies\\u2014each participant picks a title for another that the recipient hasn\\u2019t seen. It\\u2019s a fun way to share enthusiasms and gain new insights on old favorites. For this round, Film Comment co-deputy editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited FC contributor Nathan Lee and former FC editor Gavin Smith, two longtime friends, who were eager to assign each other movies. For Gavin, Nathan selected Paul W. S. Anderson\\u2019s action-packed 2008 remake Death Race. For Nathan, Gavin chose Larry Cohen\\u2019s 1976 apocalyptic sci-fi stunner God Told Me To. \\n\\nDevika and Clint were a little less considerate to each other: Clint gifted Devika the toxic 1979 football drama North Dallas Forty, while Devika gifted Clint her childhood favorite, Baby\\u2019s Day Out, a madcap live-action cartoon about a sadistic baby running wild in the streets.
