About this episode
“It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, people were just constantly trying to conquer him in the Roman Empire.” That’s right, Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with their Deep Dive on Paul Thomas Anderson’s late nineties classic: Boogie Nights! By now, the lights have flicked back on the party is officially over. Blake has developed a debilitating addiction to cocaine that impacts his, um, performances. Meanwhile, Michael has bent the knee to the rise of video and has resigned himself to churning out slop. But as bad as things are, when the two finally have a falling out, things only get worse. Can Blake find success outside of skin-flicks? Or will the prodigal son eventually come crawling back home?
