Show Notes

This episode breaks down PTA's new vibey movie starring Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim (yes, of HAIM) which takes place in the San Fernando Valley in the 70s, and compares across other movies in this same cinematic universe: "Boogie Nights" (1999) + "Inherent Vice" (2014), as well as the non-PTA movie "The Nice Guys" (2016) - just cause!

With an ambiance of pure nostalgia, "Licorice Pizza" is full of things to talk about from its controversies to its cameos and what does the title even mean?
