if you've talked to me about movies any time in the past year+, then you know that i think FAILED STATE is one of the best American independent films of the decade. I'm thrilled to get the chance to watch it with you all and to talk to the immensely talented Chris Bell about his work. Tap in!

I really like what Aaron said when I asked him pointedly what he thought Magnolia was about: reckoning with the truth of life, that living is often being both a recipient of and a source of pain. Interestingly and typical of PTA, he doesn’t really offer an answer.

On our latest premium episode, we discuss the work of Paul Thomas Anderson and his ambitious, sweeping 1999 ensemble drama MAGNOLIA. We also contend with PTA skepticism, articulating the director's limitations as artist alongside his singular idiosyncrasies. Link below.
