1999: The Podcast #090 – Magnolias (Revisited) – with Holly Brown
We last talked about Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia nearly four years ago, so given Anderson recently (finally) won an Oscar for One Battle After Another, what better time than now for a revisit?
Magnolia was a modest commercial success at the time but was lauded by critics, became something of a cult hit, and eventually worked its way into the cultural zeitgeist, in no so small part due to Tom Cruise’s character Frank TJ Mackey (and his, uh…speeches).
The film has, for a number of reasons, taken on new cultural significance in the ensuing years, and as Anderson’s oeuvre grows ever larger, we wanted to know how and where Magnolia fits.
Joining us this time is Holly Brown, Magnolia super fan and host/creator of the new podcast Everybody Knows But Me
