It is Paul Thomas Anderson day here at Two for the Road. We start by discussing an old short from PTA that is a precursor to Hard 8, available on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu6ekUxjasQ Then we get into the excellent movie-making decisions in Hard 8. Matt extols the acting of our 4 characters, especially Phillip Baker Hall. Then Adam apologizes for never having seen Magnolia, but he has excuses (spoiler: 1999 was just an awesome year). Both guys riff on how this movie is epic without feeling tedious. The scenes, the performances, the frogs. We can't lie, the conversation is as scattered as these stories, but we hope you enjoy the ride. Layers, man....layers.\\xa0
