Filmography Club continues to explore the works of Paul Thomas Anderson and the latest episode finds
Magnolia as the topic at hand. Host Jason Caviness is joined by writer, director and
DEFY Film Festival co-founder
Dycee Wildman to discuss the work. They dive into some of the film's inspirations, the role of ego in filmmaking and PTA's uncanny ability to cast the perfect ensemble.
Magnolia is my favorite of all of the PTA movies. It's probably unwise to pick a favorite since they span such a wide range of styles and stories but this one struck me at just the right time in life. It's great to hear Jason and Dycee chat about the film from beyond a plot synopsis standpoint and serves as an excellent reminder that I'm overdue for a rewatch.
