Back for season 2 and here to grace you with a two hour special all about writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson! Licorice Pizza (2021) has finally hit screens, so it’s only right we take a look back at his career. PTA certainly has an obsession with co-dependent relationships, creating sympathy for unruly characters, and a true connoisseur of fuck boys but does it always pay off?

Next episode

It’s no secret that LAB111 is getting a third cinema screen, which we can reveal will have the same interior design as the inside of the spaceship from 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968). We are going to tackle this mammoth of a film and discuss solely 2001: A Space Odyssey. You’ll be taken on a journey through space and time as we explore all things Kubrick, so stay tuned.
