Paul Thomas Anderson himself cited 1988's RUNNING ON EMPTY as a direct influence on the new ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, and it's not difficult to see the rhymes between these two films about former revolutionaries trying to protect their kids from the consequences of their parents' past. We'll get into those rhymes more next week, but first we devote some time to Sidney Lumet's 1988 film, which is less cat-and-mouse chase than coming-of-age family drama, anchored by a remarkable River Phoenix as the teenage son of former anti-war protesters on the run from the law. Unlike with PTA's film, there are no real bad guys in RUNNING ON EMPTY, only problems to negotiate within a rich family dynamic that is both delightful in its specificity and heartbreaking in its fragility. After that, we field some Feedback from listeners about our recent episodes on HIGHEST 2 LOWEST and THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? 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.

Damon and Damo catch up as Damon highlights his first week as a CMC. Damo had to shave his mustache and did not like it one bit. The guys discuss the impact of the current furlough on servicemembers and civilian teammates, along with available resources for anyone in need. Diddy was sentenced to four years in prison after a guilty verdict in a prostitution case, and Damon makes a plea against political violence and mass shootings. Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Trump called top military generals and admirals to Quantico for a brief, summit, conference, or “All Call.” At the same time, the SecDef dropped a load of memos focused on refocusing the fleet and putting the warrior spirit at the forefront. This week's hero is Pfc. Jacklyn Harold Lucas, and last week's “Do Better” segment gets a much-needed follow-up with a shout-out to Freddy Whisner. A new listener-submitted “Do Better” sparks a conversation about how DRB can be handled more privately. The guys also debate whether the Super Bowl music choices alienate two-thirds of the NFL's fanbase as Damo praises PTA and Leo's latest movie, One Battle After Another, and much more.     Do you have a “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

Paul Thomas Anderson fans rejoice! The new film has arrived! The guys are joined by returning guest Colin Takasawa to discuss One Battle After Another and how it slides into PTA's oeuvre. But first, Colin and Joe champion a scuzzy NYC thriller, while Michael and Jared reflect on the life and cinema of Robert Redford.

"No fear. Like Tom f---ing Cruise." One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson like you've never seen him before. Gripping you from the first second of its barnburner opening montage, Anderson synthesizes his typical mastery of emotional stakes with the very unexpected: action chops. We discuss his love for Terminator 2, another all-timer Leonardo DiCaprio performance, and the star turn of one Chase Infiniti. Even middle-of-the-road PTA is good enough for a spot in the best of the decade. Hell, make it two decades.

EP297 – One Battle After Another: PTA's Event Cinema Masterpiece Matt and Bob are back with special guest Spenser Davis to break down Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another — a film already being hailed as one of the best of the decade. From VistaVision screenings to opening-night AMC experiences, the crew dives into what makes this movie feel like a true cinematic event. We unpack Leo's “doofus era” performance, Benicio del Toro's scene-stealing calm, Sean Penn's wild villain turn, and how PTA balances chaos, comedy, and revolution in a way that feels both urgent and timeless. The conversation hits everything from Oscar predictions to Spielberg/Scorsese praise, the “Christmas Adventurers Club,” and the instant-classic desert car sequence that had audiences holding their breath. This episode is part awards talk, part dad talk, and all-in movie love — a celebration of PTA's 10th film as a pop-culture and critical milestone. Lightning has struck.

: BONUS Episode – One Battle After Another October is usually wall-to-wall horror, but when Paul Thomas Anderson drops a new film, you make an exception. One Battle After Another is the latest from PTA, and joining us is die-hard fan (and returning guest) Roland Alaniz to help unpack the chaos, the craft, and whether this one belongs in the top tier of Anderson's filmography.

This week's So Many Sequels is stacked with news, reviews, and hot takes:Sterling Harjo's new FX/Hulu series The Lowdown puts Tulsa in the spotlight with Ethan Hawke leading the charge.Josh gives a glowing review of PTA's One Battle After Another starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn.Garrett dives back into the Taken franchise (yes, Liam Neeson still has a particular set of skills).David gets schlocky with Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood.We react to Aaron Sorkin's follow-up to The Social Network, plus the new Mandalorian & Grogu trailer.And of course, we wrap up with box office breakdowns and a tease of American Psycho and “So Many Scares vs. Jason” for October.

The Pals are back! In Episode 208, Nabil leads the review of Paul Thomas Anderson's newest film, One Battle After Another — a bold, surreal, and deeply emotional story about revolution, paranoia, and family legacy. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro, this sweeping new PTA epic asks: can the past ever really stay buried? We dig into everything from the film's characters and tone to its massive production scale, thematic depth, and that unforgettable ending.

On the two hundred and seventy-seventh episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are joining the resistance.Christian, Jericho, and Armando reconvene for a very special episode titled "PTA Meeting II: One Bake Sale After Another" where they review Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling comic action epic, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (which they saw together in Oakland, Ca!).

We talk about the new PTA movie ‘One Battle After Another'. It's not really a movie you can spoil, IMO, so if you don't plan to see this movie you can still listen to the episode.Please consider becoming a paid subscriber!

Το One Battle After Another έχει πια κυκλοφορήσει και, όχι μόνο συνάντησε το τεράστιο hype του, αλλά έχει γίνει η πιο καθολικά αποδεκτή ως φανταστική ταινία εδώ και χρόνια. Σε πόσες οσκαρικές κατηγορίες υπολογίζουμε την παρουσία του One Battle; Πώς ταιριάζει στη φιλμογραφία του Paul Thomas Anderson και ποιες ήταν οι εκπλήξεις και οι αλλαγές στην ιδιοσυγκρασία του δημιουργού; Πού οφείλεται η προηγούμενη ενασχόληση του PTA και άλλων σπουδαίων δημιουργών με ιστορίες του παρελθόντος αντί για το σήμερα; Ποιοι χαρακτήρες της ταινίας μπαίνουν άμεσα στο πάνθεον των εκκεντρικών του PTA και γιατί εντυπώνεται βαθιά τόσο η Perfidia παρά το λιγοστό της, συνολικά, screentime; Γιατί δεν έχει ιδιαίτερη σημασία η ακριβής χρονική τοποθέτηση της ταινίας και γιατί την αποκαλούμε θαύμα για το σημερινό στουντιακό Χόλιγουντ; Πού χτυπάει πραγματικά η καρδιά του One Battle και γιατί πιστεύουμε πως, τελικά, παίρνει ξεκάθαρη πολιτική θέση; Αυτά και πολλά (πολλά!) ακόμη στο POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας!

This week, Andrew and Shane review the latest from director Paul Thomas Anderson 'One Battle After Another' starring Leonardo DiCaprio. They debate its Best Picture prospects, where it ranks in the PTA filmography, and where this Leo performance ranks among his career bests. Later, they turn their sights to TV as they cover the premieres for "The Lowdown" on FX/Hulu, "Slow Horses" Season 5, and "English Teacher" Season 2 before seeing how "Alien: Earth" and "Terminal List: Dark Wolf" landed their season finales.

For episode 259, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, I'm talking more to Myles about Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another (my rave review is here), now that he's seen the film. He has, let's say, a different take on the movie. In addition to that flick, we rank PTA's outings (my list is here), which we also differ a bit on. Other titles discussed here include Good Boy (reviewed here) and A House of Dynamite (which I rave about here). Throw in some questions and an announcement about how we're doing horror this month on the pod and it's a very full episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 259th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening! 

One Battle After Another is finally here. PTA's new film is being praised by some as not only one of the best films of the year but of the decade so far. After a monthlong look at his filmography, Christian and Scott dive in. Will the PTA fanboy and PTA skeptic find common ground? Or is another argument brewing? (Or, in classic Cinema on Tap fashion—both?). Plus, we reveal who won our summer box office game and gets to pick a bonus episode later this year. What's your favorite PTA film?

Overview - How to Choose a Dog Focus on the individual dog more than a specific breedPick a friendly, confident dog who approaches your kids happily. Listen to my Pooch Parenting Podcast episode about how to pick a shelter dog for families with kids.See if you can foster-to-adopt or do a trial adoption. This option allows you to live with a dog for a few weeks to see if you are a good fit.Be aware that some shelters and rescue organizations do not adopt to families with children of any age. Some adopt to families with kids within a certain age range. How to Choose a Dog that's a Good Fit For Your FamilyKnow what you can afford. Here are some of the costs associated with having a dog: the adoption or purchase priceveterinary carequality food, treats, chews and toysgrooming costs (some breeds need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks)Be honest about your lifestyle. Are you active, preferring to go hiking or backpacking? Or are you more of a game night family, preferring to stay home and play board games? Your companion dog should match the lifestyle you currently live (not the lifestyle you wish you had!)Is your family calm or bustling, with a constant flow of houseguests or visitors? Are you the home that hosts the PTA parties and scout troop meetings? Your dog's personality should be compatible with the level of activity in your home. Shy or nervous dogs prefer to live in a quieter and more stable home. It would be their worst nightmare to have to attend your kids' weekly soccer games or other sports matches. Dog Breeds well suited to family lifeI know I said earlier that you should focus more on the individual dog than the breed, in particular, that was only partially true.Breeds tend to have behavioral traits that can be fairly predictable due to their long history of being bred for specific characteristics.But it's crucial to note that there is individual variation within every breed, just as there are personality differences between siblings in any family. Some may be more "introverted" while others want to enthusiastically greet every creature they meet.If you want to pick a pure bred dog, choose one who was bred to be sociable with people. The "gun dog" group is a good example of dogs who were bred to work alongside people. This group includes retrievers, labradors, spaniels, setters and more. Gun dogs tend to be enthusiastic team players, but they can be hard to live with because of their long youth before maturation and their high levels of energy. Many people love their friendly nature but are unprepared for their high energy levels.Other breeds that tend to be good with families include the cavalier King Charles spaniel, beagle, basset, havanese, boxer and Bernese mountain dog. Note: do not buy a puppy from a website without vetting them. Ideally, you will visit the breeder and meet the pThank you for listening! Want to learn more about Pooch Parenting and how we can help you?

Paul Thomas Anderson released his latest film ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER last weekend so Eric, Robert, and Quintin gather to discuss PTA in general, the marketing behind OBAA, and the film itself.   Email:  FlicksationPodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Bluesky Call or text the voicemail line:  (608) 535-9302   2025 Flicksation Podcast Network

Paul Thomas Anderson just made an action movie you can take your in-laws to without a 20-minute lecture about American masculinity and bowling metaphors. One Battle After Another is PTA's $175 million plunge into the now, mixing the absurdity of a stoner dad in a bathrobe with a razor-sharp allegory about fascism, power, and family. Leonardo DiCaprio leads as a washed-up revolutionary trying to rescue his daughter (Chase Infinity) from Sean Penn's snarling, broken military villain, and the result is both wildly funny and uncomfortably timely.Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III, and Steve Sarmento dig deep into the contradictions and triumphs of the film. They debate Sean Penn's feral Lockjaw, the Christmas Adventurers Club (absurdist satire or terrifying cabal?), and the grounded humanity of the father-daughter story that anchors the spectacle. From Benicio del Toro's Zen “Sensei” to Johnny Greenwood's jagged score to the breathtaking desert chase sequence, the conversation unpacks how PTA manages to hold together chaos, comedy, and heartbreak in a film that already feels like one of the year's defining works.As always, the panelists disagree (sometimes passionately) on the ending, the satire, and whether it all needs that extra denouement in Office 55. But they unite on one point: this is the kind of audacious, ambitious, theatrical cinema you absolutely need to see on the biggest screen you can find.Links & NotesWatch Now: Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdOriginal Theatrical TrailerVery Loosely Adapted from Vineland (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin) by Thomas Pynchon Support The Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Become a member for just $5/month or $55/yearJoin our Discord community of movie loversThe Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Cinema Scope: Bridging Genres, Subgenres, and MovementsThe Film BoardMovies We LikeThe Next Reel Film PodcastSitting in the DarkConnect With Us:Main Site: WebMovie Platforms: Letterboxd | FlickchartSocial Media: Facebook | Instagram | Threads | Bluesky | YouTube | PinterestYour Hosts: Pete | JJ | Steve | Tommy | Andy | Ocean Shop & Stream:Merch Store: Apparel, stickers, mugs & moreWatch Page: Buy/rent films we've discussedOriginals: Source material from our episodesSpecial offers: Letterboxd Pro/Patron discount | Audible

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 119 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the latest film from director Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another (2025). On the podcast, Ryan and Jay love nothing more than sitting back and seeing a passion project from a major director be given the greenlight to be shown to the masses, and such is the case for One Battle After Another, the latest invention from PTA, who has spent nearly twenty years tinkering away at this story, making it perfect for the big screen. Loosely based off the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary who must find his daughter once a dangerous, evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years. What seems like a simple premise evolves into the grandest feature film PTA has made, combining social, political commentary with a wicked, sharp sense of humor, and centering it all around a father, mother, and daughter dynamic that heartwarming, sincere, and emotionally profound. By doing this, Anderson has made a successful odyssey that is the culmination of his career so far while pushing the director do things he's never done before and also things audiences have never seen on the big screen. It's the movie of our time and there was no way the boys weren't going to talk about it. Ryan, Jay, Erik, and Sophia breakdown their thoughts on the film, the various formats they've seen the film in, PTA's sentimental heart clashing with his audacious direction, how timely the film feels, how every performance is pitch-perfect, thoughts on the Christmas Adventurers club, and so much more including a new wrinkle in Jay's Oscar game where we put his expertise to the test and make him predict how many Oscars this film will be nominated for. It's a fun, long, wild ride full of SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen the film, you've been warned. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h09m. The guys will be back later this week to continue their series on the films of Yasujirō Ozu with a review of his next film, Floating Weeds. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

We're closing out our Paul Thomas Anderson series with The Master, a haunting exploration of faith, control, and broken souls.From Joaquin Phoenix's raw and unhinged performance to Philip Seymour Hoffman's commanding presence and Amy Adams' chilling quiet power, we dive deep into why this film feels like one of PTA's most enigmatic and enduring works.As PTA month comes to an end, we reflect on the journey through his filmography—capped off with a film that lingers long after the credits roll.Intense, unsettling, and unforgettable—PTA at his most powerful.From the rise and fall of Boogie Nights to the sprawling chaos of Magnolia, from the quirky heart of Punch-Drunk Love to the operatic greed of There Will Be Blood, from the hometown pride of One Battle After Another to the haunting intensity of The Master—our month with Paul Thomas Anderson has been as bold, strange, and unforgettable as the films themselves. PTA Month may be ending, but the brilliance lingers long after the credits roll.

Un exrevolucionario, ahora drogadicto y alcohólico, debe rescatar a su hija de las manos de un militar corrupto. Basado en la novela "Vineland" de Thomas Pynchon, el nuevo largometraje de Paul Thomas Anderson ha superado las expectativas de la crítica y el público en sus primeros días en cartelera. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn y Benicio del Toro lideran un reparto lleno de estrellas de la pantalla grande que relucen bajo la dirección de PTA. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

For episode 258, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, I'm telling Myles about Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another (my rave review is here). We'll get into it more once he sees it for the next episode, but I'm fairly effusive in my praise. Many of our questions are about the film as well, so we discuss it in that regard too, while Anderson's Inherent Vice has been revisited (in part) by Myles, so there's plenty of PTA talk. Throw in some chatter about Apollo 13 as well as a preview of the New York Film Festival and we have a full episode.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 258th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening! 

Two parents and their recently-bitten-werewolf daughter try to fit into a privileged New England society of magic aristocracy. But deadly terrors await them – ancient prophecies, remorseless magical trials, hidden conspiracies and the PTA bake sale.

And…we're back! Did you miss us? You can say so—it's OK. Yes, it's the return of Vintage Sand, your film history podcast, with our first episode since May. It was a frantic and wonderful summer, but now the leaves are falling and it's time for us to get back to what we love to do, with a double episode no less than 25 years in the making. That's right, fellow film fanatics; it's Vintage Sand's Top Ten Films of the 21st Century (So Far). And once again, a major cultural institution has stolen our ideas! When last we three met in May, we had decided to do these episodes. But fate intervened and delayed us, and, sure enough, when we opened up the “New York Times” in mid-July, there was their best of the century list so far. This has happened to us far too often to be coincidence—anyone know any good intellectual property lawyers out there? And that “Times” list was truly interesting in several ways. First of all, we much preferred the fan's list of the Top 100 (to my great pleasure it included “La La Land”, “Blade Runner 2049”, “Sinners” and “Midsommar”). But, in what was perhaps a bit of quiet backlash to the 2022 “Sight & Sound” Poll, there were only a handful of directors of color, and fewer female directors than one might have expected. On the other hand, the clear “winner” of the Times poll was Christopher Nolan, the only director with five films on the list (the Coens, PTA, Alfonso Cuarón each had four). Nolan is the Hitchcock of our times, in the sense that he is one of those rare directors who both receives critical acclaim and puts asses in the seats. Now if he would only put those blaring soundtracks a little lower in the audio mix so that older, cranky audience members such as us have a shot at hearing the dialogue… Ultimately, the work we put into creating these lists revealed a surprising and heartening result. From long before the time we started Vintage Sand back in 2018, all we've heard is doom and gloom about the state of cinema this century. “Film is dead” because folks are watching on their phones, or because of the algorithm, or because of streaming, or because of the emphasis on the global film marketplace over the domestic, or because our attention spans have vaporized, and on and on. Not that those are not real issues, but the death of film has been continuously reported since sound arrived roughly a century ago. And let me tell you, dear and faithful listeners: we had an incredibly difficult time narrowing down our respective lists to 25, let alone 10. We were overwhelmed with the number of creative, innovative, and moving films we had to choose from, films that will stand the test of time as well as any you could mention from the imagined “Golden Ages” of film. So our message, in the end, is one of optimism. Film is still a vital and glorious art form, and while you may have to dig around a bit more than you used to to find the greatness, it is clearly there. Enjoy these two episodes, and join us in facing the future of film with anticipation, excitement and joy.

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode about one of the most acclaimed movies of its era, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood. When it arrived in 2007, There Will Be Blood was hailed as a masterpiece almost immediately, and its stature has only grown since then. With a new PTA movie, One Battle After Another, now just days away from release, we thought now would be a great time to revisit his magnum opus. Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Liam O'Donnell for this episode, and together they discuss their initial reactions to the film when they first saw it, how they've grown with the movie over the years, and the complex themes and ideas that Anderson is playing with in TWBB. They also spend some time discussing the incredible Daniel Day-Lewis performance at the center of the film, and what makes him and this role in particular so special. Finally, Zach, Kat, and Liam each pick their personal top three PTA movies.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
