JarredHOST
No?
EdwinaHOST
So, yeah, Wise Up, which was from the film Magnolia, written for the film Magnolia.
EdwinaHOST
I think she got an Oscar nomination for that or an Oscar win.
EdwinaHOST
I think a
Meg RipleyGUEST
The one instance where I would argue he's, well, I guess maybe two now that I think of it.
Meg RipleyGUEST
Eyes Wide Shut definitely is like a master class for me, but also, what do you call it? Magnolia.
Meg RipleyGUEST
Magnolia.
Meg RipleyGUEST
I mean, the respect the cock speech is so fucking good.
Meg RipleyGUEST
And you just, you hate him, but he does such a good job.
Meg RipleyGUEST
I love him in that
ErikHOST
movie.
ErikHOST
Favorite performance is Magnolia with Frank T.J. Mackey.
DJ PayneHOST
Yeah, lauded in the same sort of vibe.
DJ PayneHOST
So you might know him from Boogie Nights in 1997, Magnolia in 1999, Punch Drunk Love I mentioned from 2002.
DJ PayneHOST
Then you've got films like The Master, Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, and then from last year, One Battle After Another, which I did not like.
DJ PayneHOST

DJ PayneHOST
It's an experience,
Judah JosephHOST
but- It's all about, it's an incredibly boring film, but intentionally so.
Judah JosephHOST
And so I do appreciate this with its great intention and great purpose for every scene, the length, the weighting, the pacing, compared to, you know, a Magnolia, another

Paul
Dan StoryHOST
I came to it.
Dan StoryHOST
I came to Altman through Paul Thomas Anderson movies and knowing that Altman was a big inspiration for things like Boogie Nights and for Magnolia, which was my favorite film at the time.
Dan StoryHOST
That, you know, multi-character, multi-narrative type of story.
Dan StoryHOST
Now looking back on it, I'm like, yeah, like the PTAs movies have some of that, but they're really, you know, he's taking it in much more like dramatic, even like less realistic, less like of the moment type of thing.
Michael SmithHOST
Like quite a famous magician that worked on a lot of films as a magic consultant.
Michael SmithHOST
He's also in, as is William H. Macy, Magnolia for some reason.
Michael SmithHOST
There's a couple of sort of crossovers.
Michael SmithHOST
Yeah, another connection.
Graceful GradyHOST
It's time for Film and TV, Demplified.com. Dimples Nation, this week I'm taking you back to 1996.
Graceful GradyHOST
Before Boogie Nights, before Magnolia, Paul Thomas Anderson made his feature directorial debut with a movie originally called Sydney and released as Hard 8.
Graceful GradyHOST
And if you know anything about gambling, you already know where that title takes us, the craps table.
Graceful GradyHOST
Our story centers on Sidney, an experienced gambler who takes a struggling young man named John under his wing and teaches him how to survive around the casinos of Reno.
Charlie ClausenHOST
I, I quoted this synopsis from online, 'cause I think this is such the ...
Charlie ClausenHOST
It sums up my feelings about Magnolia.
Charlie ClausenHOST
"An ensemble mosaic of interconnected lives across the San Fernando Valley over the course of a day, weaving together stories of regret and reconciliation that build to a surreal, unifying climax." This is PTA coming off Boogie Nights.
Guy DavisHOST
Did PTA write that? Should be arrested for indecent exposure if that's the case.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Um, there is a joke in, uh, go with me here, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Guy DavisHOST
Mm-hmm.
Charlie ClausenHOST
Where, um, they're ragging on the Bluntman and Chronic movie, and the person who is most kind of obnoxious about it credits himself as Magnolia fan.
Guy DavisHOST
[laughs]
RossHOST
And we skipped
TrippHOST
Magnolia for similar reasons.
RossHOST
Yeah.
RossHOST
Also a laugh riot of a film.

Aaron NeuwirthGUEST
what very well because the movie's a masterpiece i love this movie um it's in the realm of like what was going on with sam what you know we'll get to as far as other films around him and whatnot but like looking at where Sandler was as a comedic act, a box office smash hit comedic actor, everything he's doing is a $100 million movie.
Aaron NeuwirthGUEST
I went into this knowing it was from the, and I was, this is 2002, so I'm 15.
Aaron NeuwirthGUEST
And I went into this knowing that it was from the director of Boogie Nights, a film I adored, and Magnolia, but I loved Boogie Nights.
Aaron NeuwirthGUEST
Boogie Nights was my jam back then.
JordanHOST
And where was Tom Cruise in 1999 through 2002? Like, he, 99, he ended the millennium with Eyes Wide Shut.
JordanHOST
He also did Magnolia that same year, 99.
JordanHOST
Mission Impossible, 2000.
JordanHOST
He did Vanilla Sky in 01, and this was his follow-up to Vanilla Sky.
