Few scripts toss more challenging balls than the air and Jones juggles them all with

1:57.3

I know I like this movie. I just want to know why you enjoyed so much. It's one of my favorite movies, DeBlack519.

2:10.8

I could talk about Magnolia for a long time, but I'll do it as succinctly as possible.

2:15.3

I think what I love about it is it has such audacity and it really takes so many chances.

2:19.8

And I think by and large, it sticks the landing more than anything.

2:25.0

It sticks the landing more than any film has the right to.

2:28.5

For the first 10 minutes, particularly, or so audacious, that Paul Thomas Sanders literally framing this movie about chance and luck and opportunity and how it all converges together.

2:37.5

I think that the ensemble, whenever you have an ensemble piece, and we're going to talk about Ozark today, which is the main thing I'm reviewing,

2:43.3

it's hard to have all the characters be compelling, but in Magnolia, I think all the characters are interesting and engaging, and I'm curious about each of them.

2:50.8

I think a lot of them have a lot of depth of their character, which is hard because you're not the lead character. You're an ensemble piece.

2:56.7

I think Frogs falling from the sky took a lot of guts. Like ABPT Anderson pulled it off and it makes sense and it's memorable.

3:02.8

Having the whole soundtrack from Amy Mann, and there's one sequence where each of the characters sings a line from the song.

But that could go drastically wrong. Look at Stephen Bach's go as cop rock, and yet Magnolia takes all those chances and ends up being a very moving story about loss and about aging and surreal meditation on that.

3:20.0

And it's also really funny. Look at William H. Macy's character and this born loser. I've mentioned before, I think it's Tom Cruise's best film.

3:26.7

I have a lot of time for Magnolia. I just think the filmmaking level of it. It's a real bravura show from PT Anderson.

3:33.9

Another review here is from Brett Esbaker. My man always tweets this.

3:36.9

The harbott brothers often talk of attacking each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

3:41.8

I don't know about Adnan's days, but that's certainly how he hosts each podcast.

3:44.8

It's the kind of passion that inspires one to broaden their horizons as a fan of film every week. He is producer go go Joe set the table serve a three course meal of fun entertainment and education.

3:54.5

Always worth the time bonus content. My mouth rush more of tear jerkers.

3:58.2

This is good. We did this racing in the podcast. Thanks to Dan Stanzi giving us that recommendation. I like Brett's choices.

4:04.6

Mr. Keating says goodbye. That's dead poet society. I haven't seen it in so long. I'm honestly, Brett. I saw it. I was like 10.
