It's Oscar Season, Degen style, as Andy S and Brandon Bombay talk about Paul Thomas Anderson's instant classic, 'One Battle After Another.' Andy kicks it off by recalling a time he had a run-in with the cops while driving where he was questioned about his sobriety, and the legality of his friend in the backseat.Then the boys dive straight into PTA's sprawling thriller/comedy and begin with the magnetism Teyana Taylor brings to her role, and how they would gladly commit domestic terrorism for her. Sean Penn delivers his most unhinged performance in years (and easily his horniest) as the despicable Col. Stephen J. Lockjaw who's involved in a sordid relationship with Taylor's Perfidia Beverly Hills that is the inciting incident for the whole movie. Of course, at the center of it all is Leonard DiCaprio's brain friend Bob Ferguson, who finds an ally in Benicio del Toro's beer-guzzling sensei. In many ways this is PTA's 'Road Warrior' as it culminates in a gorgeously-shot epic road chase, and the episode mirrors the propulsive energy of the flick. By the end you'll have "no fear, just like Tom f**kin' Cruise."

On this week-in-review, Crystal Fincher and Robert Cruickshank discuss:

On Monday, Washington state lawmakers will meet in Olympia to kick off a 60-day legislative session. Last month, Gov. Bob Ferguson unveiled a proposed $79 billion supplemental budget that aims to fill a $2.3 billion shortfall in part by tapping the state’s rainy day fund and making cuts to spending on state programs and services. Lawmakers in both chambers will consider other proposals to shore up the state’s finances, including a contentious plan by Senate Democrats that would impose a nearly 10% tax on Washingtonians making more than $1 million a year. The so-called millionaires’ tax would raise an estimated $3 billion annually, but it faces opposition by Republicans who’ve threatened to sue if it wins passage by the Democratic majority in the Legislature.   Scott Greenstone, a politics reporter at our partner station KUOW and co-host of the Sound Politics podcast, joins us to share more details about that plan and other priorities facing Washington lawmakers during the short session

An atmospheric river is hammering Washington state with days of heavy rain, pushing rivers from the Canadian border to southwest Washington into moderate to major flood stage. Gov. Bob Ferguson on Wednesday signed a statewide emergency declaration, activated the Washington National Guard through the end of the month and said he'll seek fast federal help as officials warn that “lives will be at stake in the coming days.”This report details how much rain is falling along the western Cascades, why the Skagit River is a chief concern as it threatens to top its 1990 record by about four feet upriver, and how local and state agencies are preparing to evacuate roughly seventy‑five thousand people from low‑lying areas.

On Monday, the Trump administration announced that it will partially restore funding for the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program, but only at half the amount recipients of the food aid program would normally get this month. In separate rulings on Friday, two federal judges had ordered the Trump administration to tap billions of dollars in emergency reserves to continue to fund the program which 42 million Americans rely on, including 1 in 6 households in Oregon. .   SNAP recipients will likely still face delays, which could last weeks, as state agencies scramble to account for the reduced November benefits. Oregon and Washington were part of a coalition of 25 states and the District of Columbia that had sued to prevent the loss of monthly SNAP benefits beginning Nov. 1 after the Trump administration said it would halt funding for the program during the federal government shutdown. Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek last week authorized millions of dollars in state funds to support food banks in their respective states.   Roughly 930,000 people are enrolled in SNAP in Washington state. Sixty thousand of them reside in Clark County, according to Emily Straw, president of the Clark County Food Bank. She says there has been increased demand from clients in the past week or so at the two pantries the food bank operates in Vancouver.     Straw joins us to share how her organization has mobilized to help vulnerable Clark County residents facing hunger.  

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson expressed doubt about major new tax hikes in 2026, citing recent multibillion-dollar increases already passed by lawmakers. He emphasized housing and infrastructure as top priorities for the upcoming session, signaling greater investment in the Housing Trust Fund and road maintenance.

Welcome to Play, Pause, Rewind! The world's greatest media podcast, maybe. !Viva la revolución! This week, we take a look at One Battle After Another, the latest film from acclaimed writer and director Paul Thomas Anderson. Following former revolutionary Bob Ferguson as he attempts to rescue his daughter from a shadowy government agent seeking to hunt them down.Social Information: https://youtu.be/na85biWc1-s?si=blpIXR4veLhu0Ycv Podcast Info: https://linktr.ee/PlayPauseRewind Dylan's Info: https://linktr.ee/DDayMovies Niles' Info: https://www.instagram.com/nilesgotnostylez/Topics and Timecodes:Intro: 0:14One Battle After Another: 2:17One Battle After Another (spoilers): 7:32Other Stuff: 53:45Outros: 59:50

Kenny and Mike discuss and spot faith elements reflected in Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film One Battle after Another. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as "Ghetto" Pat Calhoun, once a leader of the famous revolutionary group, the "French 75." Following the capture of his partner Perfidia Beverly Hills (Teyana Taylor) and the capture and killing of many of the group by Col. Stephen Lockjaw (Sean Penn) Calhoun lives an underground life as Bob Ferguson raising his and Perfidia's daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti).  When Lockjaw, trying to cover his tracks in order to join a secret society of white supremists, The Christmas Adventurers Club, captures Willa, Ferguson is pressed into action with little time to shake of the rust of 15 years of drugs, alcohol and little activity.  Benicio del Toro costars as Sergio St. Carolos, Willa's Karate intstructor and leader of the local undocumented community.  Sergio assists Bob in finding his daughter while also helping many of the community escape from the military crackdown.  Faith Spotted: Co-opting and nationalizing faith for personal power and profit. The perseverance necessary to stand against injustice, seek to redeem and reclaim justice and the way of Christ and the Kingdom of God. The challenge and call to maintain faith and focus when encountering the enevitable, "gravitational force" of resistance of those who oppose the righteousness of God and Gospel of Christ.  Resist the temptations to allow diappointment and struggle change one into that which one is called to oppose. Resist the temptation to believe that unrighteous means will lead to a righteous end.
