September is here, and it brings one of 2025’s most anticipated films: Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. We’re using his new one as an excuse to take a look back through his filmography. First up: Boogie Nights!
Anderson’s sophomore feature became his breakout, with solid box office returns and three Oscar nominations. Only 27 when the film released, Anderson’s youthful energy caused on-set clashes with star Burt Reynolds, but also led to a film bursting with energy, loaded with great performances, and a kinetic camera.
No surprises here, as our hosts sung this film’s praises years ago during their Top 5 Movies of 1997 episode. On this rewatch, we talk about the movie’s production (there’s a notable casting what-if linking this to One Battle After Another) before discussing the film’s performances, story structure, and enduring appeal.
