Episode 6: Boogie Nights (1997)

Boogie Nights cover site

Gali has chosen to mark the passing of the peerless Burt Reynolds by revisiting the Paul Thomas Anderson porn industry epic Boogie Nights.

17 year old Eddie Adams has one special gift. And pornographic film auteur Jack Horner intends to share that gift, making Eddie the biggest star in the world (in all senses) as the dashing Dirk Diggler. But, all may not be as rosy as it seems in the San Fernando Valley as drugs, hubris and violence creep in when the day-glo 1970s meet the me-generation 1980s.

Devlin and Gali head to the Hot Traxx to watch a movie which they both found a huge inspiration in late adolescence (not for the reasons you might think!), discuss the influence PTA has had on them, and try and sound all serious while simultaneously talking about enormous genitals.
