The ‘One Battle After Another’ Mailbag

Sean and Amanda kick things off by breaking down Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest epic, “One Battle After Another,” from its surprise-punchy opening-week numbers to that glowing critic buzz. After sizing up the box office and fielding your burning PTA questions in the mailbag, they slide in a State Farm ad (because, you know, life insurance).

Then film nerd royalty Adam Nayman pops in to geek out over what might be the slickest action sequence ever, rave about Benicio Del Toro’s MVP turn, and trace those Jonathan Demme echoes. Finally, Andy Greenwald shows up to settle the score on his outing with Amanda to see The Master—plus some off-the-cuff impressions of the flick.
