Punch-Drunk Love (Movie History, Plot Breakdown, & Pairings)

May 22, 2026 · 2 h 17 min

Show notes

This week we cover Paul Thomas Anderson's follow-up to "Magnolia," "Punch-Drunk Love." We cover the beginnings of the script and what PTA was doing in between these two films. After we cover the production and release of the film, we dive into the plot and discuss everything we love about this film. Finally, we each pair this film with another for a pair of double bill ideas!

Thank you so much for listening!
