Hard Eight (1996)

We begin the filmography of PTA with his first movie! It's pretty normal to start something with the first one that happened, and we're very strict about following the rules. Talking about '90s PTA, his confidence, petulance, struggles. We get into Raymond Carver, being in your 20s, Philip Baker Hall, Sundance, John C. Reilly, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Reno, PTA's struggles with the production, the movie's title, Entourage, the 90s director. Lots to cover, lots to discuss but we had a great time and it's a great movie!
