Episode 327 - One Battle After Another

About this episode

The episode discusses Paul Thomas Anderson's film 'One Battle After Another' and its relevance to contemporary cinema.

“One Battle After Another” is the latest film by Paul Thomas Anderson, and it is neither too obtuse to understand nor boring. The latest of Paul Thomas Anderson’s work that stylistically makes its point, without getting all up its own ass about said style. (I’m looking at you, Wes Anderson!) It is definitely a movie made for our times, like it or. not. 0:00 - Intros 8:15 - Mel Brooks: the 99 Year Old Man! 13:00 - The Wrecking Crew (2026) 18:40 - The 90’s Cruise 40:50 - One Battle After Another (2025)
