This week we review the 2007 American period drama film There Will Be Blood written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, loosely based on the 1927 novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair.
It stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds, and Dillon Freasier.
The film was nominated for eight awards at the 80th Academy Awards, winning two (Best Actor for Day-Lewis and Best Cinematography) and received numerous other accolades.
It has since been widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
The film follows Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis), a silver miner turned oilman, as he embarks on a ruthless quest for wealth during the Californian oil boom between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Scotsman kicks off with his own Daniel Plainview rant on dogparks, hot sauce and his non-conversational podcast partner.
The movie itself is sensational - anything with Daniel Day Lewis is hard to beat.
Absolutely worth a watch - don't need to watch before you listen.
And if you want to hear the Scotsman get the most tongue-tied he has ever been tune in till the end - his summary needs to be heard....what is he talking about!
