Aya and Kevin are joined by Hilary Jane Smith to boogie down in Paul Thomas Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997).
Happy New Year! 2020 was a shotgun to the senses, and we're not anywhere near out of the woods yet, but Aya and Kevin take a note from The Frida Cinema's playbook and take a look at a definitive NYE movie: BOOGIE NIGHTS.
Joined by Merry-Go-Round contributor, Hilary Jane Smith, the trio explores the apocalyptic rise of Reaganist conservatism as seen through porn, Mark Wahlberg's career as a comedic expert, and a way-too-invasive psychoanalysis of a drug-addicted, family-yearning, 26-year-old Paul Thomas Anderson.
