In addition to recommendations, he brought up several works for discussion and critique. He mentioned Kevin Kraft's Iron Lung to highlight independent film success, Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club book series to illustrate cultural differences in senior living arrangements, and Mark Bray's Antifa to criticize an author who defends political violence.
