Show Notes
This week on DPP the boys sit down with Eddie Averill, formerly of Extended Clip [https://www.patreon.com/Extended_Clip], now of Vintage Violence [https://vintageviolence.substack.com/], to investigate Paul Thomas Anderson's LA epic Magnolia (1999). Is Hollywood an American virus? Is TV the Gen-X brain bug? Dig in with Chase, Sam, and Eddie to find out.

After a year, your hosts are ready to wrap Gen X. Season One is at a close. What did we learn about the self-professedly forgotten generation? What has Banksy to do with the spirit of the age? And, most importantly we answer the question that started it all: how did the dirty girls end up in the K-Hive?
DPP is back, baby — and this time for an encore. Chase and Sam thought they'd round out the season — find a 'capstone', if you will — for the last year. That pediment takes the form of Chris Smith's fly-on-the-wall documentary American Movie (1999).
Fear the coming of the trilby. Yes, that's right — today, in the last episode of our first season, we're looking at Gen X accelerating towards middle age and a crash encounter with those coming up behind them: millennials.
