Great film is alchemy, the result of an interaction between writing, performance, light, sound, sets, and editing. On each episode of Making the Scene, I’m joined by a guest as we work to understand that alchemy through the lens of a single scene, to understand a director’s approach to their film by examining how and why they built this one, specific moment.

Magnolia with Eric Sipple (Guest Hosted by Greg Sahadachny)
It’s been a year — a strange, roller-coaster of a year — but Making the Scene has finally returned with an episode recorded before we went on hiatus. This is the first of three episodes we still have for you, and they’re all fantastic.
This episode is special. Though our guest is Greg Sahadachny, he’s actually the host of this episode. Envious of his guests getting to discuss their favorite scenes, your regular host (that’s me!) asked the lord and master of the Debatable Podcast to stop by and allow the tables to be turned. Today, I, Eric Sipple, bring you a scene from one of my all-time favorite films, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia. It’s a film following the intersecting stories of a number of Los Angelenos on a very, very weird day in their lives. A day that reaches its apex in a scene where frogs rain down from the sky, forcing our characters’ unravelling lives into new, and sometimes better, places.
