Halfway into our PTA series, we take a step back to look at leftover notes and ideas. Subjects include: talk radio, Ryan does a Tom Leykis impression, PTA's stories and their basis in reality, Boogie Nights and PTA's ambivalence to the patriarchal family, movie biz talk, the missing middleperson in current filmmaking, postmodern consumerism in Punch-Drunk Love, abstraction, surrealism. It's a good one!
