The Criterion Break is back! On this week’s show, the guys from the back row chat about some recent watches, including a theatrical viewing of the new 4K remaster of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai. Next, they briefly discuss the upcoming CC40 box set and what their thoughts are on this being Criterion’s big November box set. Finally, for the featured conversation, they chat about Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love, from Adam Sandler’s performance, to the magic of Emily Watson, to the impact of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s short runtime. We evaluate where this oddball comedy falls amongst our personal ranking of PTA’s filmography.
