NOTE: Upon further research, Tim discovered that he is wrong with the pronunciation of Denis Villeneuve and David is right. Tim thought the name was spelled Villeneueve when it is spelled Villeneuve (the e and u in different places). Tim mispronounces the director’s name for the entire episode. Doh!
