In this episode of Just Foolin About with Michael Biehn, we dive into the filmography of Director Paul Thomas Anderson following the release of One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro, and Sean Penn. The guys start with the surprisingly poor box office performance of The Rock’s new movie 'Smash Machine'. Then they get into some of Paul Thomas Andersons earlier films including: ‘Magnolia’, starring Tom Cruise, William H Macy, Julianne Moore, and John C. Reilly, ‘The Master’, Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams, and ‘Boogie Nights’, starring Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, and Don Cheadle. After that they also touch on some Spike Lee joints when his most recent movie ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ gets brought up, starring Denzel Washington. To end the show, Michael gives his thoughts on ‘One Battle After Another’ after we went to go see it over the weekend.
