Wicked defied gravity last year at the box office and soared back into theaters last week to tremendous business with Wicked: For Good. But did the second act of the story work for us? Come back next episode as we start our Now You See Me series with the original from 2013!

Last November, Glinda and Elphaba flew into theaters and took the world by storm with Wicked (Part 1)! Now, one year later Wicked: For Good is hitting screens across the country after much anticipation. We're here to first cover the 2024 film before covering the new film next episode!

This time last year, we all agreed that we would review the two halves of Wicked, but you can't talk about those movies without discussing The Wizard of Oz first! So, this is where we begin, the 1939 classic that may just be the most watched film of all time. But does it hold up? Come back next episode for our review of Wicked!

Baby, we were born to pod! We're back with Conor's birthday pick, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. The film follows The Boss as he attempts to put his sorrows into the album Nebraska. Did this music biopic separate itself from others of its kind? Come back next episode as we review one of Frankenstein (2025), The Wizard of Oz, or Now You See Me. We're eventually reviewing them all, just not sure when yet!

Happy Halloween! Chris Stuckmann raised more money for a Kickstarter than any project in history for his directorial debut. Then, Neon acquired the film and gave him the resources to do even more with the film, and give it a wide release a week before Halloween. We're here to give our thoughts on the final product and discuss if this is worthy of the film's inspirations. Come back next episode for our review of Conor's birthday pick, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere!

Shudder has acquired and released another interesting high concept horror film with Good Boy; a haunting movie from the perspective of the dog of the house. Did the experiment work for us? Come back on Halloween as we discuss one of the big horror releases of this season, Chris Stuckmann's Shelby Oaks! After that, we will be reviewing Conor's birthday selection, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

It's one PTA podcast after another! We wrap up our look back at one of the modern masters of cinema with our review of his latest film, One Battle After Another! The film marks his first collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio and is his highest grossing film to date. But did it work for our hosts? Our next couple of episodes will be some spooky new releases before Halloween with Good Boy and Shelby Oaks!

PTA's follow up to his portrait of American commerce and religion tackles another strange time in American history, the rise of cults in the 1950s with The Master. Partially based on the life of L. Ron Hubbard, this film examines how cult of personalities control those who fall into them. It's one of our hosts favorite films! Next episode we'll finally be discussing One Battle After Another!

Apologies for the delay in upload! We're back with what many people believe is Paul Thomas Anderson's greatest work, the adaptation of Upton Sinclair's "Oil!" renamed There Will Be Blood. The film is renowned as one fo the best films of the century, but failed to win Best Picture. A trend worth watching while tracking One Battle After Another. Speaking of that film, that will be 2 episodes from now. Next up, The Master from 2012 starring the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Then after that, One Battle After Another...finally!

After the success of his second feature film, Boogie Nights, Paul Thomas Anderson was able to make whatever film he wanted to, and that was the film Magnolia; a story of a web of people in the San Fernando Valley on a rainy day. The film is widely hailed as one of the best of his career, but is that the case for us? Come back next episode as we discuss one of the great American films of the 21st Century, There Will Be Blood!
