PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON

The hardcore film analysis helmets are coming on. Rhys and Kane are taking a break from horror and kids movies to go through the filmography of one of Rhys' favourite directors: PTA.

This episode sees a bit of a rundown of who Paul Thomas Anderson is as a film maker, why we should care about him, and explores his first directorial feature.

A seed has been planted, and a whole floodgate opened unleashing: strange paternal dynamics, lost men in a world full of loneliness, and John C. Reilly. Without any of which, a PTA movie could not be formed.
