It is crazy to think this was 25 years ago! 1997 was such a stacked year for film. I actually went back and rewatched Boogie Nights recently on CineWave, and Julianne Moore’s performance is even more powerful than I remembered. She really anchored that emotional chaos. Great podcast as always, loved the deep dive into the race!
