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.”
Chris and Perry are back! The duo talks Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and then continues their David Lynch conversation with a discussion of Wild at Heart.

Filmen om revolutionära vänsteraktivister som jagas av högerextrema militärer har kramats sönder av filmkritikerna, men samtidigt fått kritik för att vara vänsteraktivist-propaganda och woke shit.

P1 Kultur dyker ned i Bruce Springsteens dystra, avskalade album Nebraska från 1982 - en skiva där den amerikanska drömmen blivit en mardröm. Tillblivelsen av Nebraska har blivit film och samtidigt släpps en hel box med tidigare outgiven musik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I bioaktuella ”Springsteen: Deliever me from nowhere” ser vi Jeremy Allen White från tv-succén ”The Bear” som ”The Boss”. Det är inte en traditionell biopic om Bruce Springsteens väg till stjärnorna, utan filmen zoomar in på tillblivelsen av det avskalade albumet ”Nebraska”, där den amerikanska drömmen blivit en mardröm. Som en novellsamling om människor i samhällets utkant, utan skyddsnät, desperata och våldsamma... På jakt efter hopp i en till synes hopplös situation. Med oss för att prata om musiken - och filmen - har vi musikjournalisten Markus Larsson från Aftonbladet och frilansjournalisten Klara Grape, båda stora Springsteen-entusiaster.VAD SÄGER EGENTLIGEN BIOSUCCÉN ”ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER” OM VÅR TID?Etta på biotoppen ligger Paul Thomas Andersons epos ”One Battle after another”, med bland andra Leonardi Di Caprio, Benicio Del Toro och Sean Penn.

The Party Girls crew takes on Paul Thomas Anderson's epic "taken" tale with revolutionary flavor, One Battle After Another (2025).

From my lips, to your ears – don't eat McDonalds hamburgers. Under any circumstances. I'm falling out of love with movies as I get older. (Are you?) One complaint after another, and I submit to you a reason the movie industry and movie culture is in a state of stagnation for a reason no one else is considering; a lack of visionary PRODUCERS. Roofman, the movie. My 2,500 cents on Mr. Scorsese, the documentary. Big shake up at Studio A.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Paul Thomas Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Chase Infiniti as they discuss their hit film One Battle After Another, which was recently presented on 70mm at our Walter Reade Theater. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. In One Battle After Another, washed-up revolutionary Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years and Bob's daughter goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past. Paul Thomas Anderson's most viscerally thrilling film to date is a total blast, an epic, comic adventure of the weird new America that spans years and stretches from across the treacherous rolling-hill highways of the southwest and beyond. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland, but with a flavor and cinematic rush that's pure PTA, One Battle After Another is an exhilarating, ultimately moving portrait of undying commitment to family amidst the mania of our contemporary world One Battle After Another is now in theaters.
Gabe and Matt dissect the latest PT Anderson epic of monumental proportions: One Battle After Another (a name Matt still thinks is the coolest thing ever).

¿Cómo crear un filme que, al mismo tiempo, sea una pieza de autor, un producto de alcance masivo y un objeto que deje una marca en la cultura? la última ocasión en que un realizador había intentado algo parecido —Quentin Tarantino con Érase una vez en Hollywood— éste fue tan alabado como fustigado por cierta parte de público y crítica, pero en general se salió con la suya: su película va camino de convertirse en un clásico. El punto ahora es qué ocurre si a todo el mix anterior agregas una lectura abiertamente política, una que se sitúa de lleno ya no en el pasado reinventado (y lejano) sino en un presente totalmente reconocible, sobre todo para una conflictuada izquierda progresista y una derecha autoempoderada. Pues bien, eso es lo que pone sobre la mesa One Battle After Another: filmada en Vistavision, 65mm, con película física (el formato de mayor nitidez y espectacularidad disponible), protagonizada por Leonardo DiCaprio, en un registro tan maduro como satírico; realizada con efectos especiales prácticos, de abrumadora finura y destreza; basada tangencialmente en una novela del elusivo Thomas Pynchon (rescatando de paso mucho mejor su universo literario y humanista que Inherent Vice, la anterior adaptación de su obra); ambientada, por último, en un Estados Unidos abiertamente reconocible, un mundo de grupos de interés, bandos opuestos, sociedades secretas y armas automáticas, en el que efectivamente se dan cruciales batallas (públicas y privadas) día tras día; en fin, todo ello da cuenta de un extraordinario esfuerzo técnico y artístico, tal vez el más complejo y el más frontal emprendido por Paul Thomas Anderson, en la cumbre de su profesión e influencia en el medio. Wow, qué película y qué ambición. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.
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.

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.

Saturday is the second No Kings Day – it should be the biggest single day of protest in American history, with more than 2,500 events planned. Leah Greenberg will explain the preparations – she's co-founder of Indivisible, the group that called the first No Kings day, June 14 – five million people participated in that one, held the same day as Trump's birthday parade – the one no one came to.Also: there's “a forthrightly antifascist film” that critics call “wild and thrilling” -- of course, that's “One Battle After Another,” the Paul Thomas Anderson movie starring Leonardo di Caprio as a burnt out left wing bomber, targeted by an ICE captain played by Sean Penn. John Powers will comment—he's critic at large on Fresh Air with Terry Gross.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a very different film in form and function than the other half of this pairing, RUNNING ON EMPTY, but it's built on the same foundational questions as Sidney Lumet's 1988 family drama: what does it mean to lead a revolutionary life, and how does one generation's fight get handed off to the next? After talking through how ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER engages with those questions, as well as its more action-movie-oriented thrills (and hills), we bring in RUNNING ON EMPTY to compare how the two films depict coming of age while on the run from the feds, and parents attempting to safeguard their children from an unknown future. Then in Your Next Picture Show, we discuss some of the other films Anderson chose, alongside RUNNING ON EMPTY, for a recent TCM guest-programming selection inspired by ONE BATTLE. Please share your thoughts about RUNNING ON EMPTY, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!One Battle After Another is a 2025 action-thriller directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former revolutionary leader trying to live a quiet life off the grid with his daughter, Willa, played by Chase Infiniti. Their peace is shattered when Willa disappears, pulling Bob back into a world he thought he'd left behind. Teyana Taylor plays Perfidia, a figure from Bob's past whose allegiances are uncertain, while Sean Penn portrays Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw, an old adversary with unfinished business. The film also features Benicio del Toro and Regina Hall in pivotal supporting roles.With its grounded performances and politically charged storyline, the film blends personal stakes with broader themes of loyalty, consequence, and resistance. Paul Thomas Anderson brings his signature style to the project—blending suspense, emotional weight, and rich character dynamics—which may draw critical attention. While it certainly has the hallmarks of a high-caliber drama, One Battle After Another seems more focused on telling a tight, character-driven story than chasing awards. That said, with the talent involved, it wouldn't be surprising if it ends up in the conversation during awards season.Reminder to grab your 30 day free trial with Audible and help support DMR in the process, link in the show!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.
