#752: Magnolia at 20 / Jojo Rabbit / The Report / The King

Filmspotting - A podcast by Adam Kempenaar & Josh Larsen - Vineri

Categories:

Paul Thomas Anderson followed up his breakout hit "Boogie Nights" with 1999’s MAGNOLIA, a 3+-hour ensemble film featuring a treatise on coincidence and frogs falling from the sky. It was nominated for three Oscars, but in the 20 years since, it has earned a reputation in some quarters as messy, melodramatic and overlong (an opinion that PTA himself appears to share). This week on the show, Adam and Josh are much more forgiving of Anderson's ambitious third film when they revisit it for its 20th anniversary, part of the 9 From '99 series. Also on the show, a review of Taika Waititi's JOJO RABBIT and Adam's thoughts on David Michôd's THE KING and THE REPORT with Adam Driver. Plus, the Contemporary Chinese Cinema Marathon Awards. 0:00 - Billboard 1:08 - 9 From '99 Review: "Magnolia" Aimee Mann, "Save Me" 42:19 - Next Week/Notes 48:21 - Massacre Theatre 54:42 - Adam on "The Report" 59:52 - Review: "Jojo Rabbit" 1:08:19 - Adam recommends "The King" 1:13:20 - Chinese Cinema Marathon Awards 1:36:26 - Outro    Learn more about your ad choices.
