Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.

This month’s theme is an easy one: A Long One and a Short One. First up, Corey picked Magnolia (1999) – clocking in at 3 hours and 8 minutes. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this is the kind of opus that really doesn’t get made anymore in Hollywood – a studio gives an indie darling carte blanche to have fun. Set in the Valley and focused on about a dozen lives that interconnect around a TV quiz show, Magnolia is about a LOT. It’s one of Paul’s top ten favorite films, so strap in, folks. It’s a long episode in which you get to hear both Paul and Corey tear up!
