The “One Battle After Another” Mailbag

Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins kick off with a lively take on Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, One Battle After Another, diving into its strong opening-weekend box office and out-of-the-gate critical praise before tackling listener mail about everything PTA.

They then bring in Adam Nayman (author of Paul Thomas Anderson: Masterworks) to rave about one of the film’s most jaw-dropping action sequences, Benicio Del Toro’s MVP-level turn, and Jonathan Demme’s clear influence on Anderson’s style. Finally, Andy Greenwald stops by to set the record straight on the time he and Amanda caught The Master together and to share a few quick thoughts on that film.
