From starring in smash hit movies such as Silence of the Lambs and Taxi Driver, it comes as no surprise that Jodie Foster has impeccable taste in films, but one of her recent movie recommendations comes as a bit of a shock.
In a conversation with Interview magazine, the actor was asked to pick one movie she thinks everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. Foster replied, “Well, Everything Everywhere All at Once.” laughingly adding, “Oh, and this is probably number one—the puppet movie Team America: World Police.”
Foster’s first answer comes as no surprise, as Everything Everywhere All at Once, starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis, shot straight to the top of many people's favorite lists and even won Best Picture in 2023.
The Panic Room star’s second answer is a bit of a wild card. Team America: World Police is a puppet-filled parody movie following an elite counter-terrorism organization and its satirical shenanigans. Directed by South Park’s Trey Parker, this film points fun at archetypal action movies and American militarism, but don't be fooled by the puppets, this movie is certainly not for kids.
It seems Foster’s second answer was a bit of a joke on her part, but on the other hand, who doesn't enjoy a silly parody movie now and then? Later in the interview, the actor solidified this, adding, “A sense of humor is my touchstone, and I have a very dumb sense of humor.”
