Paul Thomas Anderson's primal scream about coincidence, fate, frogs, and Hollywood is on the table today thanks to our friend, Alex Kauffman. She reveals that at 18-years-old she got a Magnolia-inspired tattoo that she maaaaybe regrets getting back then as she, Rocco, and Alex Logan try to get to the bottom of what the hell this movie actually means, and if it is a masterpiece, a mess, or perhaps, both?
The trio discuss how they first found the film over a shared infatuation with Julianne Moore, how Tom Cruise almost overshadows the entire project (and maybe kinda deserves to), how John C. Reilly's hilarious role was inspired by the show "Cops," how Philip Seymour Hoffman's Phil Parma character is like human sage, and how it all connects to the great NeverEnding Movie Marathon that has taken the next few weeks to go Tom Cruisin' the USA!
The NeverEnding Movie Marathon is a weekly podcastic celebration of cinema. Dive deep into fan-favorite films (#NoStinkers!), thematically curated to enhance your movie viewing by hosts Matt Detisch, Alex Logan, and Michael Rocco.
