June 26, 1970. Paul Thomas Anderson was born and bred in Studio City. This 70s baby blue boy charts a career featuring timeless portraits of vagabonds and misfits all seeking, most failing, to connect with others in his home state of California.
In order to rotate about his axis and set the proper course, Michelle & Jeremy thought it fitting to pair their in-depth introduction to his chart with his messiest, most emotionally wrought mosaic, a film all about how one’s past (/origin/birth!) shapes their present - 1999’s Magnolia.
Frogs! Death! Tom Cruise! This one has it all.
Why does Michelle sound so out of breath? Jim vs Jimmy? But is one actually the loneliest number that you ever do?
Align your compass and stay tuned!
