In this A24 vibe discussion, these film reviewers discuss what many critics are calling "the film of the decade" in One Battle After Another. Paul Thomas Anderson directed this Thomas Pynchon adaptation while Leonardo Dicaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Chase Infiniti star in it. It revolves around a revolutionary group named the French 75, and a love triangle that forms between two revolutionaries and an immigration detention center officer. On top of being a Best Picture favorite, One Battle After Another has garnered a lot of conversation around its portrayal of fascist America. Is it worth the hype?

Original Release Date: Monday 3 November 2025 Description: After a cold open wherein Phil sets the stage, the show gets started in mid-conversation as frequent contributor Jon Lawlor shares some of his thoughts about Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune. The topic then turns to Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love with particular emphasis paid to the way Anderson used music while shooting the film. This leads to Dean explaining the ways on-set music would be used in the silent film era, and how something called “click tracks” would be used in animation. In 2022 the great actor Stellan Skarsgard suffered a stroke and yet has been able to continue acting. The ways this has been achieved get discussed. The current heist picture The Mastermind from master filmmaker Kelly Reichardt is foremost in Phil's thoughts, specifically why, despite universal critical praise, the film is being mostly hated by moviegoers, most of whom have seen it in multiplexes. Phil also shares with Dean and Jon the new set of questions he asks himself, and answers in writing, each night before bed.

Michael Lucchese, founder of Pipe Creek Consulting and associate editor at Law & Liberty, joins Scot Bertram for a fascinating conversation that bridges politics, culture, and philosophy. From the history and modern meaning of the filibuster to the intellectual legacy of William F. Buckley's Cold War conservatism, Lucchese examines how ideas shape governance and values today. They also dive into the unexpected connections between classic conservative thought and the cinematic storytelling of Paul Thomas Anderson, exploring what both teach us about human nature, power, and moral conviction.

Jason Dick and Sean Carswell discuss how Thomas Pynchon's novel “Vineland” led to Paul Thomas Anderson's movie “One Battle After Another,” the conversation those two works have about American culture and politics, as well as the 1960s left, the Nixonian right, Reaganism, the drug war, Trumpism and, for good measure, Emerson's concept of the level of divine justice.

In episode 19 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Isi and Ajay are joined by fellow BISR faculty Joseph Earl Thomas to discuss Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch Productions' much-anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. To kick off the episode, Isi and Ajay chat about recent cultural news and highlights, from the Japanese government calling on OpenAI to refrain from using anime and manga as training data, to the #SwiftiesAgainstAI campaign, to Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (2025). Turning to Ghost of Yotei, Isi, Ajay, and Joseph consider where the game succeeds (its strong start, visual beauty, sharp soundtrack, and the satisfying chunkiness and texture of its combat scenes) and where it doesn't (its loadout system, simplistic puzzles, dearth of opportunities for stealth mode, and social and political quandaries its narrative and design raise). They explore the films and television shows that influenced Yotei—from Lady Snowblood and Samurai Champloo to the films of Takashi Miike, Akira Kurosawa, and Sergio Leone) and ask whether and where the game successfully incorporates cinematic techniques and conventions into its storyline. Along the way, they discuss the game's dicey depiction of the Ainu and the colonization of Hokkaido, consider whether the pleasure of open-world gaming has diminished or transformed in the years between Yotei and Tsushima, and interrogate the shape of the game's revenge plot.

From Netflix's birth to Titanic mania, its safe to say that 1997 was a stacked year, but not before a 26-year-old Paul Thomas Anderson dropped Boogie Nights, turning taboo into pure cinema. On this episode, we revisit the film's intoxicating rise-and-fall arc, the found-family heartbeat, and the moment VHS killed the golden age of adult films. We also dig into the real-world inspirations (Dirk Diggler ⇄ John Holmes; the Wonderland murders), the deliriously tense Alfred Molina “Jessie's Girl” sequence, some wild what-ifs—like Leo DiCaprio passing on the lead—and the legend behind Dirk's big reveal at the end of the film.Chapters:00:00 PTA Was HOW OLD?!00:24 What You'll Get (Adult Themes)01:23 First Impressions03:30 From Valley Kid to Visionary04:24 What Could've Been06:33 Why Wahlberg Works07:31 Burt Reynolds vs PTA (…and the Oscar)08:38 The REAL Dirk Diggler11:25 Was that Real or Fake?12:52 This Opening One-Take SLAPS15:28 More PTA Flexing21:34 Tone Flip on NYE25:54 VHS Killed The Film Star29:39 Jessie's Girl: The Most Tense 8 Minutes33:06 Found Family… and Fallout42:16 Wrap-UpContent note: Heavy adult themes on this episode, so viewer discretion is advised.

John J. Lennon is a prison journalist who is currently serving a 25-year sentence in Sing Sing prison in New York. His work has been featured by such leading publications as New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York magazine. John's new book is The Tragedy of True Crime. John shares his surreal experience of being on a book tour while inside prison and reflects on his own personal experiences with the "true crime" genre. He also warns about the seductive nature -- and problematic relationship these shows have with reality -- of The First 48, Law and Order, Cops, and others in the reality TV show - crime entertainment genre. John explains how his new book goes beyond the sensationalistic headlines and explores the human side and complexity of four men who have been convicted of murder. Robert Chambers, the so-called “Preppy Killer” of 1980s tabloid fame Milton E. Jones, drawn from petty crime into tragedy as a teenager Michael Shane Hale, a gay man facing the death penalty after a crime of passion Lennon himself, who discovered his voice as a writer while serving time for murder Chauncey DeVega shares what it is like in Chicago as Trump's DHS/ICE immigration dragnet "Operation Midway Blitz" and threats of a National Guard "invasion” have created a climate that feels ripped from a bad dystopian movie. To better understand who would want to take a job working for DHS/ICE as one of its enforcers, Chauncey shares a very important news story from the Intercept where they interview people at a job fair for that government agency. And Chauncey DeVega goes to the local cineplex and reviews three new films: Tron: Ares, The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Paul Thomas Anderson's essential document and cultural artifact of this era One Battle After Another.

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another has been the talk of the town since its wide release last month—from critics to filmmakers to audiences, the reception has been nothing short of euphoric. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, the film opens in an unspecified present, detailing the activities of a militant group led by a Black revolutionary (played by Teyana Taylor). Years after her disappearance, her partner (Leonardo DiCaprio) and their daughter (newcomer Chase Infiniti) are hunted down by an old enemy, Sean Penn's Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw. The chase takes them across California, with an assortment of other characters becoming embroiled along the way. The movie is an unabashedly fun, feel-good action flick—one that also calls back to films as disparate as The Searchers, Commando, and Running on Empty. But is it among the greatest of the decade, as some have claimed? Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish invited critics and programmers Miriam Bale and Adam Piron on the Podcast to discuss the film's successes and failures, how it fits into PTA's larger body of work, and its engagement with American history and the present. If there's one thing the four agreed on, it's that One Battle After Another is indeed a “very rich text.”

The fine, upstanding gentlemen of Pod Casty for Me, Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, return to discuss Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life, which follows a group of recently deceased people entering a state of limbo where counselors (also deceased) help them locate their most important memory and then go about the work of turning that memory into a film that they will watch forever in eternity. The film adopts, at least in part, a docu-fiction quality, assembling talking head interviews with several non-actors telling their memories directly to camera before becoming a treatise on art-making itself, considering how cinema reflects and retains memory. We begin with a discussion of Kore-eda's formalism, and how the director embraces both the erudite affect of slow cinema and the melodramatic dramaturgy of classical narrative to mixed effect. Then, we engage the film's high concept premise, how its emboldened by its ambiguities and where the film still feels grafted to terrestrial quotidian experience. Finally, we ponder the wide array of films that deal with the afterlife as a bureaucratic machine, and whether applying systemic order to something like death is a comforting fantasy or a cloistering nightmare.

In this comedic thriller, an aging burnout and former member of revolutionary group The French 75 (Leonardo DiCaprio) must spring into action with the help of his local karate sensei/migrant defense organizer (Benicio del Toro) when his daughter (Chase Infiniti) is kidnapped by an ICE goon/aspiring member of the white power elite (Sean Penn). Did we like the way revolutionaries are portrayed in this movie? One thing's for certain: between this and Eddington, we're all up in the zeitgeist.

This week on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, the guys discuss Laser Cats 5 from January 16th, 2010, Season 35, Episode 12.

Also, the guys are joined by special guest and Laser Cats co-star Bill Hader! It's a stacked and shaggy episode. So shaggy that you get a lesson in VistaVision for Akiva near the end when discussing Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, One Battle After Another.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the Gaza ceasefire and prospects for long-term peace with Rob Malley, Middle East policy expert and co-author (with Hussein Agha) of the new book Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine, which side is likely to fold first in the ongoing government shutdown, and who benefits as the Supreme Court hears arguments about whether the 14th Amendment clashes with the Voting Rights Act. For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie “One Battle After Another” and its political and social themes. Is it a love letter to the revolutionary left and community connection, “apologia for radical left-wing terrorism,” or something else entirely? In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily talks with author and Yale professor Judith Resnik about her new book, Impermissible Punishments: How Prison Became a Problem for Democracy. They discuss the history of the prison system's use of punishments like whipping, how the practice came to an end, and more. Email your chatters, questions, and comments to gabfest@slate.com.
