No, Darren Aronofsky didn't put Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” on the soundtrack of CAUGHT STEALING and replace the song’s dog barking with cat meows. But he did make a pretty fun, fast-paced crime movie.

Chris recounts how watching ‘The Holiday’ (2006) for a first time compares to a rewatch, and perhaps, what Eva Victor saw in the Nancy Meyers rom-com to cite it as an inspiration for their buzzy A24 film ‘Sorry, Baby.’
