Episode description
This week on the show, we finally begin our newest Deconstructing Directors series. We set our sights on Paul Thomas Anderson and talk about his first film: 1996's Hard Eight. We chat about Anderson's style, the complicated nature of the lead character and also how cool smoking is.
Next week, Deconstructing PTA continues with Boogie Nights
