Summary

Welcome back for our PT Anderseason where we cover all of the films of recent Oscar-winning director, Paul Thomas Anderson. We begin with his first film, naturally, Hard Eight." We discuss Anderson's life up to this point in his early career including his childhood and short films. We then get into the background of this film, the PBS film Anderson met Philip Baker Hall on, and the contentious editing of the film. We then dive right into the meat of the movie and describe everything we love about this film. Finally, we finish the episode with a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure!

Thank you so much for listening!
