Where was Paul Thomas Anderson born?
June 26, 1970. Paul Thomas Anderson was born and bred in Studio City . This 70s baby blue boy charts a career featuring timeless portraits of vagabonds and misfits all seeking, most failing, to connect with others in his home state of California.In order to rotate about his axis and set the proper course, Michelle & Jeremy thought it fitting to pair their in-depth introduction to his chart with his messiest, most emotionally wrought mosaic, a film all about how one’s past (/origin/birth!) shapes their present - 1999’s Magnolia. Frogs! Death! Tom Cruise! This one has it all.Why does Michelle sound so out of breath? Jim vs Jimmy? But is one actually the loneliest number that you ever do?Align your compass and stay tuned!Artwork by Sara Helm.Music by Jacob Anstey.Like: https://www.facebook.com/maptothestarspodcast/Follow: https://www.instagram.com/maptothestarspodcast/Questions, concerns, seduce or destroy?Email us!

What is the Inherent Vice podcast?
Inherent Vice ReviewThe Sordid Cinema podcast has been around since 2007 and as you can imagine, the show has gone through some major changes over the years including the name. It was originally called Sound On Sight but on January 21, 2015, original hosts Simon Howell and Ricky D sat down to record what was supposed to be the final episode as a team before Simon quit and Ricky decided to rename it. And to send it off in style, they invited Kate Rennebohm and Adam Nayman to discuss one of the best films of 2014, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice.

What is Adam Sandler's relationship with his siblings?
Adam Sandler’s intensity as a character and actor garners much love in this discussion of autism, comedy and romance. The relationship of the neurodivergent character with his neurotypical siblings is discussed in terms of its pain and discomfort, and the character’s romantic relationship as an antidote to this. The character’s chaos meets a certain otherness in Emily Watson’s character, perhaps her Englishness featuring as Other. The discussion debates whether the film sets and colour palette, and the spatial arrangement of the scenes, foreground an autistic sensibility. Equally significant in this discussion is the eclectic soundtrack including Shitmat. Discussants: Alex, David, Georgia.
