This story mainly focuses on a former revolutionary father (Oscar-Winner Leonardo DiCaprio) and his daugther (Chase Infiniti) in the midst of an ongoing revolution when suddenly both are on the run from a determined government agent (Oscar-Winner Sean Penn) who initially arrested their former revolutionary wife/mother (Teyana Taylor) sixteen years prior. But of course this new highly acclaimed satirical political thriller/domestic drama from Multiple Oscar-nominee (but not yet winner) Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, The Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, Magnolia) is about MUCH more than that....or is it? Regardless this film almost defies genre and also co-stars Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, and Alaina Haim among several others. Let's see if this lives up the hype....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

We inaugurate the late Japanese master Shinji Sōmai with a discussion of his beautiful, melancholy coming-of-age drama Moving. The film follows the young Ren as she navigates her parents' recent separation, balancing loyalties to both her mother and father, dealing with gossiping classmates, and making attempts to reconcile the marriage. With a characteristic sensitivity and perceptiveness for the experience of youth, Sōmai excavates a universe of detail from the film's simple premise, arriving at a profoundly moving and cathartic emotional climax. We begin by discussing Sōmai as director, his style, and what we think might have drawn him to stories about the occasionally painful experiences of youth. Then, we explore how the film elicits nuance within the childhood experience of familial separation, acknowledging both the grief intrinsic to such experiences and the role children play as emotional anchors for their parents. Finally, we examine Sōmai's considerations about modern Japanese life and how he rallies against conservative social positions on divorce through the film's delicate character work.

Next, our mean pod guy, Adam Nayman, the author of 'Paul Thomas Anderson: Masterworks,' joins the show (but isn't very mean).

RUNDOWN (352) is Gainesville, Florida — home of the University of Florida. They reflect on Petty's legendary catalog, from “American Girl” to “Free Fallin',” his Beatles-inspired path to music, and his legacy in Gators football culture. Mitch and Hotshot recap the Seahawks' nail-biting win in Glendale, where a late Jason Meyers field goal sealed the victory to move Seattle to 3–1. They turn to the Huskies' tough loss against Ohio State, noting costly penalties and red-zone failures that made the final score more lopsided than the game felt. The Mariners closed the regular season with a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers but secured the No. 2 seed at 90–72. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join Mitch to debate whether the late skid matters, the state of the bullpen (Bazardo vs. Brash in high-leverage spots, Munoz's control issues), and the playoff rotation order. They also spar over Cal Raleigh's MVP case against Aaron Judge and whether Seattle should prefer Cleveland or Detroit in the ALDS. The Seahawks dominated for three quarters in Arizona before letting the Cardinals storm back with 17 unanswered points, needing Jason Myers' last-second field goal to escape with a win. The No-Table crew weighs Sam Darnold's poise, Mike Macdonald's conservative late-game decisions, the defense's lapses, and the ongoing questions with the run game and offensive line. Mitch welcomes CBS Sports' Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, for his weekly whip-around of the college football world. They break down Washington's missed opportunities against Ohio State, Alabama's statement win at Georgia, and why depth in the trenches separates contenders from pretenders. Rick also weighs in on Penn State's playoff chances, Miami–Florida State as a marquee matchup, and hands out his Chicken Caesar Taco awards before making his Week 6 pick.

Other stories include Shaun Alexander announcing his 14th child, Richard Sherman's deferred prosecution and Hall of Fame comments about Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford's painful low blow and his wife's vasectomy joke, the Ryder Cup devolving into pro wrestling–style chaos, Logan Paul buying a $32.5 million mansion, Johnny Carson's Malibu estate hitting the market at $110 million, Brandon Roy suspiciously being removed as Garfield High's coach, and MLB introducing its new ABS challenge system for balls and strikes. RIPs include former Bengals and Auburn running back Rudy Johnson, who died by suicide at 45 amid CTE concerns, and Elaine Merck Binder, one of the last surviving Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz, at 94. HEADLINES: Stephen King's obsession with “Mambo No. 5” nearly cost him his marriage, Alyssa Milano removing her breast implants at 52, a man without thumbs going viral for showing he can do anything except hitchhike, Bachelor star Madison Prewett claiming 10 years without masturbation, and MLB preparing blind dipshit robot umpires for 2026.

Au menu du débat cinéma. Par Rafael Wolf et Thomas Gerber Une bataille après lʹautre de Paul Thomas Anderson, avec Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro. Ex-révolutionnaire, Bob vit dans un brouillard de drogue et de paranoïa. Quand son ennemi juré réapparaît après 16 ans et que sa fille disparaît, il entame une recherche désespérée. Un film de Paul Thomas Anderson, avec Leonardo DiCaprio.
Novo filme do renomado diretor Paul Thomas Anderson, "Uma Batalha Após a Outra" chega aos cinemas nesta semana, e começa a ser apontado como um dos favoritos para o Oscar 2026. O longa-metragem apresenta a história de um grupo de ex-revolucionários que precisa se reunir para resgatar a filha de um deles, 16 anos depois de terem se aposentado.A produção conta com um elenco de peso, incluindo Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro e Regina Hall. A expectativa em torno do filme é alta, com Carlos Corrêa, Márcio Gomes e Luiz Gonzaga comentando sobre a potencial força da obra nas premiações.
Benicio del Toro on His New Film “One Battle After Another”
"Would you eat a sweet soy-glazed hot dog wrapped in seaweed… or are some culinary mashups just too far?"In this wildly entertaining segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the bizarre, the delicious, and the cinematic. The episode kicks off with a hilarious group reaction to a viral food photo: a misubi roll—a sweet soy-glazed hot dog nestled on a rice patty and wrapped in seaweed. The crew debates whether hot dogs and sushi should ever share a plate, with KT firmly declaring, “I'm comfortable choosing a hot dog or sushi and keeping them separate.”From culinary confusion to cinematic excitement, the gang shifts gears to discuss the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor. The buzz is real—Steven Spielberg himself called it “insane” and compared it to Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. The hosts geek out over the trailer, the absurdist tone, and the massive $130 million budget, wondering if this could be Anderson's biggest box office hit yet.

WHO is Keyser Soze?It was one of the more intriguing questions posted within cinemas in the Summer of 1995 and for good reason. Identifying this mysterious spectral crime boss whom EVERY ONE else on screen was afaid of became the central mystery of this small indie crime thriller from a couple of relatively untested fimmakers with a very electic cast. The director was Bryan Singer (X-Men Days of Future Past, Bohemian Rhapsody) and the Oscar-winning screenplay was by Christopher McQuarrie (Mission Impossible Fallout, Jack Reacher). The stacked ensemble cast included Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollack, Chazz Palminteri, Giancarlo Esposito, Dan Hedaya, Suzy Amis, and Kevin Spacey who also won an Oscar for his memorable performance as Verbal Kint...or was it some one else? ;) This twisty action drama became one of the most talked about films of that year and eventually one of the more beloved, influential films of the 1990's. Now approaching its 30th Anniversary, it's time to head back to the docks of San Pedro and find out if there actually IS any dope on that boat......

“This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez's still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who's The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR'S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen.

This week we're excited to present an archival conversation from the 52nd New York Film Festival in 2014 with Inherent Vice director Paul Thomas Anderson and his very large and talented cast. For one week only from July 4-10, join Film at Lincoln Center in revisiting this great American film on 70mm film, ahead of the director's highly anticipated new feature One Battle After Honor. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/vice This conversation was moderated by Kent Jones, former Director of the New York Film Festival. Paul Thomas Anderson's wild and entrancing Thomas Pynchon adaptation is a cinematic time machine, placing the viewer deep within the world of the paranoid, hazy L.A. dope culture of the early '70s. It's not just the look (which is ineffably right, from the mutton chops and the peasant dresses to the battered screen doors and the neon glow), it's the feel, the rhythm of hanging out, of talking yourself into a state of shivering ecstasy or fear or something in between. Joaquin Phoenix goes all in as Doc Sportello, the private investigator searching for his ex-girlfriend Shasta (Katherine Waterston), menaced at every turn by the telegenic police detective “Bigfoot” Bjornsen (Josh Brolin). Among the other members of Anderson's mind-boggling cast are Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, and Jena Malone.
"Sicario" from future stars Director Denis Vlleneuve and writer Taylor Sheridan comes to the club. Comedian Karen Joy MacDonald is here to discuss it all with Host and Comic Steve Mazan. Is Benicio the hero? Is Kate the Villian? Is Kate US? How many great scenes are there in this? Would it work without a woman in main role? How lucky are we to get the talent writer and director so early in their careers? What's G20 got to do with it? All these questions and more get answered on this week's Mazan Movie Club Podcast.

MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE PODCAST: Mike was recently inspired by the Paul Reubens’ documentary after learning about Pee Wee’s Big Adventure being such an important first film for Tim Burton. He shared what directors he believes made the biggest splashes with their debut studio films, why he thinks the Oscars are wrong about animation and what new directors are just heating up. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Phoenician Scheme from one of his favorite directors Wes Anderson. Benicio Del Toro plays a wealthy and maligned industrialist Zsa Zsa Korda , who, after surviving one too many assassination attempts by rivals, names his forgotten daughter as his sole heir-over his eight sons.

And what results is a colorful, quirky, and symettrical adventure which could only come from the mind of Wes Anderson.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
