Magnolia (1999) – 25th Anniversary Rerelease

In honor of the 25th anniversary of Paul Thomas Anderson’ Magnolia (1999), Bald Move is rereleasing their coverage. Special thanks to Lauren, Anne, and Rick who chipped in to commission this podcast on Magnolia for Alex Myers as a Christmas (!!!) present.  Jim and I had never seen Magnolia, the Paul Thomas Anderson classic before now, and wow is it a doozy.  Starring greats such as William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, to name just a few, it involves a day in the life of a dozen or so characters on a collision course with fate and coincidence, and what they’ll learn about themselves and each other along the way.  Fueled by raw emotion and melodrama, we were intrigued by the complex tale being woven before our eyes.  If you haven’t seen it, check it out before we spoil it for you on this podcast, because it’s an amazing film.
