boogie nights

Ever wondered how a director can weave an intricate story with a star-studded cast, yet make you deeply invested in each character? That's the genius of Paul Thomas Anderson, and we talk all about it in this week's episode. Starting off with Anderson's debut feature film, Hard Eight, and moving on to the popular Boogie Nights, we break down the compelling performances and share our personal experiences of discovering Anderson's world.

How can a movie over three hours long keep you engaged? Anderson achieves this with Magnolia, another masterpiece that we dissect, focusing on the heart-warming love story between John C. Riley and Melora Walters. We draw parallels to modern rom-coms like Valentine's Day and He's Just Not That Into You while appreciating Anderson’s knack for creating a complex, interconnected narrative. 

Finally, we delve into Anderson's romantic comedy Punch Drunk Love, and scrutinize the duality of Adam Sandler's career, and his other cinematic gems like There Will Be Blood, The Master, and Inherent Vice. We discuss the brilliant performances by the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis and Joaquin Phoenix, and the unique visual language that Anderson employs. Join us for this scintillating journey through the works of one of Hollywood’s most influential contemporary directors.

We're paying homage to the late Brian Ewing, a remarkable gig poster artist, whose illustrative comic book style evolved into detailed anatomical skeleton drawings. His death leaves a void in the art world, and as we remember his life, we dive deep into his contribution and impact. Tonight, we're taking you on a nostalgic trip, back to the 90s, to the evolution of movie soundtracks that transformed the cinematic experience, from one or two hits to a collection of diverse songs and movie clips.

Join us as we dissect classic war films and express our personal opinions on unforgettable 90s marvels like 'Lost Highway', 'The Crow', and 'Boogie Nights'. We'll also be discussing some more controversial titles like Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Magnolia' and 'The Sixth Sense', films that we personally didn't connect with, but which still left a significant mark on the movie industry. You'll get a first-hand account of what made these movies tick, from the performances that still resonate today to the iconic scenes that have stood the test of time.

We'll be sharing personal anecdotes from our time in the theaters, watching films that have left an indelible imprint on our lives. Whether it's the bone-chilling suspense of 'Jurassic Park' or the complex narratives of 'Fargo', these are the films that defined our childhood and shaped a generation. We guarantee an exciting and engaging conversation that will make you want to dust off your old VCRs and revisit these cinematic treasures. So tune in, and let's take a trip down memory lane together.

Episode 50 - Top 10 Movie Lists

What movies people love are often a reflection of what makes them who they are.For better or for worse we are going behind the curtain to see how the Born to Watch hosts tick, and what better way than our individual TOP 10 MOVIE LISTS.

Listen as we count down from 10 to 1, discussing a little about each choice we make and learning little by little the chaos that forms Born to Watch. As mates for over 35 years we have seen so many movies together and it was that love of watching and discussing those movies that led to the birth of the podcast. Even though we know a lot about each other we have never sat down and done a list of our favourite movies.

We each have very different tastes in movies and we think that is what makes Born to Watch so much fun to listen to but in today's episode there is no place to hide. We will lay ourselves at the mercy of the fans and they will either gain some or lose some respect for us in the process.

This was a fun episode to prepare for and really got all of us thinking about the movies that meant the most to us. We have no doubt by the end of Episode 50 that you will know a little more about each of us, and we are ok with that.

On this episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs, we dive into what you should watch if you liked "Babylon" and are looking for more. This includes the Old Hollywood references and history that inspired the story and which films to watch to get a better look at that time period, films that tackle similar themes and other of director Damien Chazelle's big hitters.

The main films we look at are, but are not limited to, "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "Boogie Nights" (1997), "La La Land" (2016), and "Singing in the Rain" (1952).

Few actors are as fun to watch as Philip Seymour Hoffman. He could play anything and go anywhere: Comedy - Drama - Arthouse - Blockbuster. A true actor's actor with rare mass appeal. Over the course of his career, he gave us an amazing array of unforgettable characters. From the vulnerable to the charismatic to the downright disturbed. 

Unfortunately, Hoffman’s remarkable life and career would come to an abrupt end on Superbowl Sunday 2014 due to drug intoxication. Few people knew the extent of his inner struggles and, by the end, he was too far gone to be saved. The same intensity that made him a great actor, also fed his demons as an addict. 

In this episode, the guys pore over his impressive filmography, from The Big Lebowski to 25th Hour. They're big fans -- but then again, who isn't?  They also discuss the inner turmoil that boiled beneath the surface and detail what went down in his lonely, final days. All that and much, much more (expect some Al Pacino and Truman Capote impressions)!
