"One Battle After Another"

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago, Brendan Hodges, and Will Mavity join me to review and discuss the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson, "One Battle After Another," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. Inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary turned stoner father who must rescue his daughter from an overpowering military officer and aspiring white supremacist. It has garnered some of the best reactions, reviews, and audience ratings of Paul Thomas Anderson's career, at a time when many feel that a politically charged yet massively entertaining film like this (that can be experienced in a wide range of theatrical formats) is wholly necessary for the times we're living in. But what did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the writing, direction, performances, score, cinematography, its politics, awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
