Punch-Drunk Love & Jackie Brown
Show Notes

We're re-visiting a project we started a couple years ago, pairing the films of auteurs Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. We're picking up with Anderson's fourth film, the offbeat Punch-Drunk Love starring Adam Sandler and pairing it with Tarantino's third, Jackie Brown. Both films find the filmmakers in transition, dealing with critical acclaim and awards recognition by defying expectations and crafting quirky, unforgettable love stories. They're both outliers in their respective filmography's, but on this episode we suggest that maybe that needs to change.
