We return with Paul Thomas Anderson's 1999 epic, an indulgent, melodramatic, beautiful film. And joining us is a returning champ, our friend Chris from Podside Picnic! We discuss PTA's life up to '99, Fiona Apple, cocaine, the LA comedy scene, Aimee Mann, Paul F. Tompkins, Patton Oswalt, PTA fighting for full creative control, messy production, Tom Cruise, Short Cuts, Henry Gibson, parents and kids. There's so much packed in here but it was one of our favorite episodes, so we hope you dig it.

Follow Chris, he rules!
