Part 2 of our Paul Thomas Anderson retrospective with guest Matt Consolazio (Death By Film). We discuss the back half of Anderson's filmography (There Will Be Blood, The Master, Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread). Topics include: being an oil man, ego wars, moonshine, Scientology, Joanna Newsom, the 1950s London fashion scene. A wide ranging conversation. Check it out!

And we're back! For this episode we did something a bit different. Instead of talking about one film in particular, we discuss the entire filmography of writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson. Joining us is our first guest to the podcast: art director, former Chicagoan, and fellow podcaster Matt Consolazio (Death By Film). This one ran a bit long, so we decided to split it up into two parts. In this episode, we discuss PTA first four films (Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love). Some of the topics we touched upon include: gambling, tracking shots, Burt Reynolds, frogs, well endowed wieners, and the brilliance of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Stay tuned for pt. 2 of our conversation!

NEW EPISODE! We discuss Fellini's divisive fantasy comedy-drama, JULIET OF THE SPIRITS (1965). A lively (and lovely) conversation that includes: lockdown fatigue, infidelity, mysticism, second-wave feminism, freaky swinger couples, and more.

We watched Powell/Pressburger's 1947 psychological drama, BLACK NARCISSUS. We discuss horny nuns, British imperialism, LaCroix, and Technicolor. Also, I say "interesting" a lot. Check it out! Link in bio.

Episode 2. We discuss Kathryn Bigelow's 1987 neo-western horror film, NEAR DARK. We also discuss stimulus checks, getting swole, and Willem Dafoe's ass.

Premiere episode of "In the Queue", a film criticism podcast. We know, we know, it's serious. In this first episode, we discuss Ingmar Bergman's THE SEVENTH SEAL (1957).

"Faith is a torment – did you know that? It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call."
