  • Summary

  • Big thanks to Graham King for joining me on episode 90!

    In this episode we chat about the great film Boogie Nights (1997) by Paul Thomas Anderson. In this episode we wrangle with notions of:

    • The essence of Faustian bargain being that you don't even ask for what you really want, and the isolation that comes with not knowing what you want
    • The importance of apologies
    • Exploitation
    • The desire to make something good
    • The state of film and quality films
    • Stigma
    • Plucking knowledge and art from the teeth of taboo and custom
    • Surrogate parental instincts
    • Flattery from insecurity
    • Great films giving homage to other great films
    • The mindblowing cinema that is Boogie Nights

    Additional Spoiler: Magnolia - 8:20
