Content Warning: Suicide, Terminal Illness, Sexual Assault Discussion What happens when you weave together a collection of LA resident's worst days? It rains frogs! I'm joined this week by Jesse Pires, director and curator of the Lightbox Film Center to unpack the 1999 epic, Magnolia. And against all odds, this episode is actually significantly shorter than the movie we discuss!

Moviestruck Episode 53: Magnolia (1999) ft. Jesse Pires

Moviestruck: A podcast about movies and the people who watch them

Every week host Sophia Ricciardi is joined by a different guest to talk shop about a different movie. The catch? Every episode's movie is the guest's choice, and any movie is on the table. From Sky High to Ben-Hur, we explore the movies we love, and why we love to watch them.

Film Reviews

Whodunit?! We did! Assuming "it" is Evil Under the Sun (1982) and "we" is Sophia and special guest Dann McDorman, author of West Heart Kill and mystery aficionado! Will we crack the case before the legendary Hercule Poirot? Or will the seaside ambiance keep our eye on the screen and not on the cast of theatrical royalty?  The Patron Drive is back! If you're not already and you want to support the show, or help make Sophia have to watch Bionicle 3 or Madame Web, head on over to Patreon and join at any tier to join the cause! Where to find Dann:
