Don’t worry, we’re coming back soon, stay tuned!
We get into: young PTA & the New New Hollywood, sincerity and good listening, Fiona Apple as PTA’s Polly Platt, we desperately want a Tom Cruise coconut cake, life imitating art, Melora Walters’ enigmatic smile, the bleak prescience of Seduce & Destroy, how to pace a 3+ hour runtime, and more.
I've loved talking with Veronica about so many different movies over the last 4+ years, and when she suggested MAGNOLIA for our last episode together, I couldn't possibly have said yes faster.
And though the show will go on (after a short break), I'll always treasure the years w/ Veronica & Eli 🙏
A brand new episode of The BW/DR Podcast is ready for your ears!
Not only is this Veronica & producer Eli’s final episode, it’s also our 4th annual "Cruisemas" show—so please join us as we revisit PTA's blank check big swing MAGNOLIA (1999) and reflect a bit on the end of an era 🥹

Oh hell yeah! Relatively speaking Rope was a “new” Hitchcock for me first watching it like only a couple years ago. But I’ve probably watched it at least 6 times since. Might watch it again today!
an amazing scene/shot from ROPE that we highlight on the pod:
Oh y'all I gasped.
We get into: ways around the Production Code, that Technicolor sunset, Farley Granger’s offscreen persona, Hitchcock’s lost Holocaust doc, the film version of trompe l’oeil, teaching classical Hollywood in a contemporary classroom, the lesser-seen These Three (1936) and Crossfire (1947), and more...
