(Photo by Scott Dudelson/FilmMagic) Scott Dudelson—FilmMagic  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Apr 13, 2018 6:21 PM UTC It’s well-known that [Kanye West](http://time.com/5237838/student-listens-to-kanye-west-on-record-player-during-test/) is an [arbiter of taste](http://time.com/4807263/kanye-west-birthday-photo-gallery/), whether it’s in fashion, music, or entertainment and is appears that Yeezy has given his seal of approval to none other than the maestro of fastidious twee, [Wes Anderson](http://time.com/5211233/isle-of-dogs-designer-producer-interview/). While interviewing his interior designer Axel Vervoordt in a verbose and philosophy-laden piece for _The Hollywood Reporter_‘s [_Pret-a-Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/kanye-west-interviews-his-interior-designer-axel-verboordt-future-is-here-1100989), West revealed that the only thing he wants to see at the movies right now is [Wes Anderson’s _Isle of Dogs_.](http://time.com/5211381/jeff-goldblum-bill-murray-want-more-dog-friendly-screenings-for-isle-of-dogs/) During a conversation about influencers, Kanye expressed his distaste for anyone trying to influence him, citing that that’s why he tries to avoid watching “normal TV.” The opposite of normal TV though, apparently, is Kanye-approved media like the Olympics, documentaries, and films by the only auteur who might be more stringent about his aesthetic than Kanye himself, Wes Anderson. “We don’t want to be influenced, just informed,” he said. “That’s a big term that people use right now: influencers. I don’t want anyone to influence…I don’t usually watch normal TV. I liked watching the Olympics. (_Laughs._) I do try to watch documentaries. And there’s a Wes Anderson movie \[_Isle of Dogs_\] that’s out right now that I’m definitely going to try to catch.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5239543/kanye-west-wes-anderson-isle-of-dogs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5239543/kanye-west-wes-anderson-isle-of-dogs/"},"headline":"No, Kanye West Doesn't Like 'Normal TV.'
