It’s episode 22 and “There Will Be Blood!” JM and Lily review Paul Thomas Anderson’s new oil-epic and discuss the gripping insanity of Daniel Day-Lewis, the Kubrickian and “Giant”-esque influences found all throughout and the strange pleasure that comes with watching ruthless con men go at each others throats on screen.
