"Tracktown", that Alexi Pappas Joint, gets a shoutout from Paul Thomas Anderson

Calling a movie a "joint" is about as cringe-worthy as calling someone who likes food a "foodie."

Actually, it's worse. Probably the dumbest slang term on the planet. And yes, cringe-worthy is exactly it. Terribly so.

As a guest on Bill Simmons podcast this week, PTA said Tracktown was one of his favorite movies he'd seen recently. Anyone else catch that?

Pretty cool that it's getting some love from one of the great film masters of our time. I'd forgotten about the movie but now gonna make a point of seeing it. Anyone know where I can stream it?

One of the great film masters of our time?

She should retire from running.

I will pay to watch this to throw a few bucks towards a movie that is actually focused on running. I don’t know how a person can make a successful movie about running, but maybe Alexi will figure it out.

Well, I will responds to my own post here because I don't want to start another thread on this movie. Finally watched the film.

All I will say is that Nick Symmonds playing Nick Symmonds was the highlight of the film. The rest was a college-level film project.

I applaud the idea and the effort, but for the benefit of everyone involved, I hope future efforts are an improvement.
