Today we bring Season 1 to a close as we discuss Paul Thomas Anderson’s eight and most recent film (as of this posting), Phantom Thread. The film, like much of PTA’s oeuvre, features a heavyweight cast, a gorgeous color palette and a phenomenal score.

With so much to sink our teeth into, we welcome back guest Dycee Wildman – whom you may recall from Episode 3 or our Die Hard Commentary, not to mention her work with Daisy Dukes Films and the Defy Film Festival. She’s brilliant and helps to clarify the complicated and layered work of Phantom Thread from all angles.

This wraps up Season 1 of the show and while we will take some time off between seasons, we have plenty planned for the future. Hopefully we inspired at least one person to seek out the Paul Thomas Anderson body of work; it’s a fulfilling experience.
