or: A Riddle that I Wasn’t Trying to Solve


The Dudes need some extra muscle to take onBarry Egan in PTA’s Punch-Drunk Love, so Casual Cinecast’s Justin Herring drops by to help them wax philosophical about the greatness of the one and only Philip Seymour Hoffman and examiners the varying flavors of male rage that PTA brings to this unconventional romcom.

or: It Was Just Dogslaughter


Come take a trip with the Masters of the Muff as we peel back the layers of PTA’s sprawling LA story, Magnolia.

Do the dude’s dig into Tom Cruise’s tighty whities?

Do they wax philosophical on the kindness of Philip Seymour Hoffman?

Do they know the answers to the questions Quiz Kid Donnie Smith just can’t stop searching for?

Can they forgive Julianne Moore in the midst of her chaotic nervous breakdown?

And most importantly, does Jake think this is another dive into the desolation of PTA’s sadistic hatred for his characters or will he swing back around and find the tendrils of connection holding this opus together?

This episode of The Magnificent Andersons is now available to you on Video and Audio Cassette to answer all of these burning questions and so many more!
