In this episode of the More Movies Weekly podcast, Greg and Dave discuss Licorice Pizza (2021), the latest romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Licorice Pizza stars Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman alongside an ensemble cast including Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper and Benny Safdie.
Licorice Pizza is set in San Fernando Valley in 1973. Disarmed by his fearless confidence and surprising maturity, bored 25-year-old photographer’s assistant Alana Kane reluctantly accepts to go out for a drink with sunny 15-year-old child actor Gary Valentine, her unexpected admirer. As one thing leads to another, the platonic soulmates embark on ambitious business ventures, trying to find their feet and purpose in a crazy world. But against the backdrop of life’s ups and downs, can Gary and Alana remain friends in Licorice Pizza?
They also talk about rumours surrounding the upcoming Batgirl (2022) movie, Michael Keaton returning as Batman in that and The Flash (2023) and how this impacts the DCEU and the new Batman (2022) film starring Robert Pattinson. And there’s just enough time to talk about Steven Spielberg doing a Bullitt movie! Let’s go!
