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!

Alison Brie and Dave Franco are together in real life and in the new body horror film, Together! Directed by first time feature filmmaker Michael Shanks, this film asks the question, "would you saw between your and partner's fuzed arm that has fuzed together?" and we love it for it. Come back later this week as we pick up our Paul Thomas Anderson series with Magnolia!

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is hitting theaters in a few weeks and we are getting ready by reviewing 4 of his previous films before our week of release review of the new film! This episode we examine his second feature film, Boogie Nights, which has become a classic since its release. In the coming weeks we will be covering Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master, and then finally One Battle After Another. Come back later this week as we catch up with Together!

We're wrapping up summer with the last day of summer camp at Camp Firewood! This cult classic comedy hadn't been seen by two of us, and we chat about how well this film's humor holds up today. We will be back next episode with the start of our series covering 5 of Paul Thomas Anderson's films leading up to One Battle After Another! Boogie Nights kicks us off next week (followed by Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, and then The Master), and hopefully we will get our review of Together out soon as well.

It's late August and it's hot out which means we're reviewing Heat! This somewhat modern American classic starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro has become a film-bro staple, but did it work for us thirty years after it's release? Come back next week as we say goodbye to summer and the heat with Wet Hot American Summer!

What says summer more than Major League Baseball and movie stars at the cinema? So, this week we're reviewing Moneyball! This became an instant classic for sports fans across the country, but does it work for us? This is Ryan's birthday month one-off pick. Come back next episode as we discuss a movie made for the dog-days of August, Heat starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro!

Before Dave Franco and Alison Brie got stuck together, Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear were in 2003 for the studio comedy film Stuck on You! At almost two hours long, did this movie land enough jokes to keep us entertained? Come back next week as we review the new horror film, Together!

Ari Aster looks back at the COVID-19 pandemic with a satirical eye, but did we think his hindsight was 2020? Come back next week as we cover the 2003 film Stuck on You to tie into our upcoming review of Together, starring Dave Franco and Allison Brie!

Brendan and Ryan are back from taking a week off to discuss the results of 'Superman' at the Box Office so far as well as the other topics of discussion from the last two weeks! Keep an eye out for the CTP review of Eddington in the next few days!
