I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...
Ever had a conversation with someone about a movie you love that they haven't seen, causing you to say "I can't believe you haven't seen that!" Jess and Matt have...in fact, it's happened throughout their entire relationship!
Join them as they have conversations about what the new viewer thought about different aspects of each movie they watch, touching on everything from themes and cultural perspectives to the filmmaking and characters in front of the camera. They may even discover some new favourites...or question the sanity of the other person's choices.

I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...
Episode #022 - Boogie Nights
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jess isn't new to Paul Thomas Anderson films. She and Matt did recently watch the most recent Best Picture winner "One Battle After Another", and she has seen a couple others in the past. How she missed Boogie Nights, one of his most acclaimed films, is anyone's guess. It might have something to do with her being in elementary school when this portrait of the 70's porn industry was released. Her mind wasn't yet in the gutter enough, apparently.
But now she has seen it, and there's a lot she wanted to highlight: the concept of family both real and chosen, the shifting nature of people's identities, an all-time great ensemble cast, and whether or not any of these characters actually learn anything. So put on your imported Italian nylon and get your butter and lollipops ready, because we're shooting this one on film!
