Greetings! In this week's episode, our Season Finale, we're revisiting Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed 1997 masterpiece, Boogie Nights.

Returning to show to help us break it all down is Vic Lagina, writer and retired adult filmmaker. Vic's unique firsthand experience offers an honest and fascinating perspective on the world portrayed in the film. Together, we discuss what Boogie Nights gets right about the adult film industry, where Hollywood takes creative liberties, and how the movie explores ambition, addiction, ego, and the search for belonging.

We also celebrate Paul Thomas Anderson's remarkable direction, the unforgettable performances from Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham, and the rest of the incredible ensemble cast. From its iconic soundtrack and unforgettable long takes to its emotional gut punches, we examine why Boogie Nights remains one of the defining films of the 1990s. Enjoy!
