“Effectively, as a result of I did not assume something may beat the Chris Nolan films. And I’d say The Darkish Knight is the perfect one. Then The Batman. Then Batman Begins. After which The Darkish Knight Rises. That is the order.”
Do you’re employed at these lists?
[clearly joking] “I spend most of my time doing that.”

Earlier than that, as we’re consuming Perry’s beloved sticky toffee pudding for dessert, he mutters, “I think about your title for this text can be ‘Having fun with Sticky Toffee Pudding with Matthew Perry’.”
