EP 68: BRING IT ON... MAGNOLIA!
Mike kicks off this week’s show with a spirited look at the brand-new 4K re-release of the Kirsten Dunst cheerleading classic Bring It On — complete with personal stories from his first viewing and a rallying cry for why it still wins over crowds today.
From there, he flips into Yes Man with Jim Carrey, then sticks the landing with Magnolia, the third act in his ongoing Paul Thomas Anderson deep dive that will march straight through to the September 26 launch of One Battle After Another.
Along the way, Magnolia becomes the pivot point for a surprising leap into last week’s breakout hit Weapons, sparking unexpected genre-spanning connections. True to form, Mike serves up sharp insights, playful tangents, and a few outrageous promises about what happens if Bring It On sells out (consider this your official warning).
Stay tuned — the PT Anderson streak is just getting started.
