In the New York Herald, on November 26th - year 1911 - there is an account of two men recording a podcast. Yes, this is something that happens. Paul Thomas Anderson's dramatic opus, 1999's oft lauded & analysed Magnolia, is on deck for this weeks Pints & Popcorn podcast. Shea & Dave discuss the themes of the film, how it makes them feel & think about the world, life, love, & human interaction in general. We discuss the pivotal scenes (we won't spoil but if you know, you know) & why they matter so much both in the film, & at a philosophical level - particularly in similar times of great upheaval to the world in the era of COVID-19. The powerful performances from the stellar ensemble cast are also dissected, as many of Hollywood's finest dial up some All-Star level play. This happens. Rate, review, & subscribe!
