    LD366 - Boogie Nights (1997)

    Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll.  These are the things that you come to Random Acts of Cinema for.  Paul Thomas Anderson almost manages to reach our podcastly levels of hedonism and vice in his late 90s indie apogee covering the late 70s porn apogee. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961).

    490 - Wings of Desire (1987)

    Imagine a world where, whenever you think you are alone, there are always a bunch of dudes in trench coats quietly standing behind you and resting their hands on your shoulder.  And they can read your mind.  And they talk about you to their friends.  And sometimes they sneak into your dreams. Now imagine that there is nothing creepy about that and it's actually very reassuring.  And that maybe we can find world peace through understanding and a new kind of politically-informed spirituality.  Thanks to these trench coat guys. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights (1997).

    861 - 45 Years (2015)

    Andrew Haigh directs a totally-not-boring movie about people talking about a marriage that seems find but maybe it really isn't.  But, like I said, in a totally-not-boring way. *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more!
