The clash between Eli Sunday and Daniel Plainview, between religion and industry, steeple and oil derrick, might come down to something like the difference between a gift and a skill. Eli calls himself a son of the hills of Little Boston, an inheritor of land and legacy, a member of a family, and of a faith imagined as a family. Daniel calls himself an oil man, but only after reciting his resume as proof that he's earned the title. He tends flocks of derricks, not people, and he leases both land and family to strategic, rather than communal, ends. Yet ultimately, each lacks what the other has. What is a gift without control or discipline, a skill without purpose or meaning? And is there a difference between a gift and luck? Wes & Erin discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film "There Will Be Blood."

Over the course of his three-decade career, the director Paul Thomas Anderson has dramatized the nineteen-seventies porn industry (“Boogie Nights”), the Californian oil boom (“There Will Be Blood”), and a mid-century London fashion house (“Phantom Thread”). Now he's trained his gaze on present-day America. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss Anderson's latest: the sprawling, surprisingly political blockbuster “One Battle After Another.” They contextualize the new work within his œuvre—and debate what his portrayal of militant left-wing activists and the white-supremacist right has to say about the state of the nation. “I think our present reality has far outstripped most depictions of it,” Schwartz says. “Slipping it into this kind of caper—is that delivering us to somewhere that gets people to think or to look or to feel?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“One Battle After Another” (2025)“Vineland,” by Thomas Pynchon“Inherent Vice” (2014)“Boogie Nights” (1997)“The Master” (2012)“Punch-Drunk Love” (2002)“There Will Be Blood” (2007)“Phantom Thread” (2017)“ ‘Eddington' and the American Berserk” (The New Yorker)Gil Scott-Heron's “The Revolution Will Not be Televised”New episodes drop every Thursday.

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.

One Battle After Another | Ein guter Film für eine schlechte Zeit Wenn Paul Thomas Anderson einen neuen Film ankündigt, erwartet die cinephile Bubble nicht weniger als ein Meisterwerk – kein Wunder, schließlich schuf der Regisseur mit Werken wie "Magnolia", "Boogie Nights" oder "There Will Be Blood" längst moderne Klassiker. Sein neuestes Werk "One Battle After Another", das am 25. September in die Kinos kommt, wurde nach der Premiere nicht nur wohlwollend, sondern teils geradezu euphorisch gefeiert. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein ehemaliger Revoluzzer (Leonardo DiCaprio), der alles daransetzt, seine jugendliche Tochter vor einem alten Widersacher (Sean Penn) zu beschützen – ein Stoff, den PTA-Anhänger Stu als „ein großes Stück Kino“ bezeichnet. Wie Niklas und PTA-Neuling Sam den Film einschätzen, erfahrt ihr im Podcast. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

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.

Ade beratende Kommission, hello Schiedsgericht: Seit ein paar Tagen sind die Namen der 36 Frauen und Männer bekannt, die ab Dezember als Teil des neuen Schiedsgerichts über NS-Raubgut urteilen sollen. Knut Cordsen im Gespräch mit Magnus Brechtken, Historiker und Stellvertretender Direktor des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte in München / Ausnahme-Regisseur Paul Thomas Anderson (u.a. "There Will Be Blood", "Magnolia") bringt nach vierjähriger Leinwand-Abstinenz einen möglichen Oscar-Kandidaten ins Kino: "One Battle After Another", eine absurde Action-Komödie mit u.a. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall und Teyana Taylor. Für Bettina Dunkel ist es der Film der Stunde / Ein Accessoire hat vermutlich jeder Wiesn-Besucher und jede Besucherin mit dabei: das Handy - u.a. für den "Ich-war-da-Foto-Beweis". Das Münchner Stadtmuseum zeigt derzeit im Museumszelt auf der Oidn Wiesn wie die Fotos Anno dazumal geschossen wurden: Axel Mölkner-Kappl hat die Schau gesehen.
Paul Thomas Anderson month continues with his follow-up to last week's film. After the critical acclaim There Will Be Blood received, anticipation for PTA's next film was high. In 2012, he gave us The Master. The film was visually accomplished, being the first fiction film shot on 65mm since 1996, and thematically dense, bringing a renewed sense of control to PTA's style. Received warmly by critics and at film festivals, the film has endured despite its box office failure. Featuring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Laura Dern, and the final PTA-Phillip Seymour Hoffman collaboration, The Master is a thorny, provocative drama. Scott has been looking forward to a rewatch, but Christian didn't like it on his original viewing. Joined by old friend of the show Nick Vyner, we break down The Master and consider its place in PTA's filmography. Plus, our thoughts on TIFF's People's Choice Award, Demon Slayer, The Long Walk, and the passing of Robert Redford. What's your favorite PTA film? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

This is PTA at his most brutal and operatic—a film as vast and unforgiving as the land itself.All of this is part of our countdown to his newest film, One Battle After Another, shot right here in El Paso, TX.Greed, oil, religion—and one unforgettable milkshake.

Paul Thomas Anderson month continues with the film that many consider to be his masterpiece: There Will Be Blood. PTA teamed up with DDL to tell the story of Daniel Plainview, a turn of the century oilman making his millions, perhaps selling his soul to do it. Acclaimed as one of the best films of 2007, of the 00s, and of the 21st century so far, There Will Be Blood has endured in the popular consciousness thanks to its glowing critical reception and its powerful lead performance (plus, some strangely memeable dialogue). With a film this acclaimed, will our hosts join the consensus? Or, is it time for a classic Cinema on Tap hot take? What do you think of TWBB? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

We're wrapping up summer with the last day of summer camp at Camp Firewood! This cult classic comedy hadn't been seen by two of us, and we chat about how well this film's humor holds up today. We will be back next episode with the start of our series covering 5 of Paul Thomas Anderson's films leading up to One Battle After Another! Boogie Nights kicks us off next week (followed by Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, and then The Master), and hopefully we will get our review of Together out soon as well.
EXCLUSIVE! WE HAVE THE LIST! That's right, the list of the best movies of the past 25 years. Putting aside our usual snobby pooh-poohing of so called "best of..." lists, Azed and Tom have created lists to end all lists. Stop saying list! Taking off from the (failing?) New York Times' Best of the Century , which chose PARASITE as their top film, and Rolling Stones 100 Best List , which chose the slightly more reasonable There Will Be Blood as the greatest of the century, we decided to do a serious and definitive list of our own. We have very high opinions of our own opinions, and that's why no one likes us. Still, we persist. So, hey forget about the ugly, horrorshow taking place all around us right this second, and treat yourselves to the soothing, dulcet tones of Azed's listing off his wise and audacious selections. Apologies for Tom's part, just forward through or, for those who like a challenge, endure it and learn how to distinguish between Azed's excellent curation and Tom's mostly "meh" choices.

One of the most exciting things about the idea of discussing Fascism in Cinema is how fluidly the ideas of authoritarianism have been adapted, and sometimes skewered, by filmmakers over the years. In the third episode of this series, we are looking at films that look at matters of faith, and how corrupted they can be by mankind. Since we are discussing religion, it would be wrong to have any other guest but return guest Stuart Delony from Snarky Faith. Listen as we discuss the state of religion in both the US, and the world, through the lens of Carl Theodor Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc", Monty Python's "Life of Brian", and Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood". I hope you enjoy!You can read my blog outlining my thoughts after the 2024 election here.Stuart wrote about a lot of the ideas we discuss about "There Will Be Blood" on his blog here.Fascism in Cinema SeriesEpisode 162 - Resistance to Fascism in CinemaEpisode 166 - Fascism in Cinema: Copaganda

Tonight, Born to Watch delves deep into the dusty, desolate West Texas badlands to dissect a modern masterpiece: the Coen Brothers' haunting 2007 thriller, No Country for Old Men. It's a film that sidesteps genre conventions, delivering existential dread with a bolt gun and cowboy boots. The full Born to Watch crew is in session, and from the moment Whitey's epic intro begins, you know this episode is going to be as layered and unpredictable as Anton Chigurh himself.Right from the start, the boys are firing, rattling off 2007's Oscar lineup, debating Juno's place in film history, and showering praise on Daniel Day-Lewis' oil-thirsty turn in There Will Be Blood. But tonight belongs to a different kind of monster: Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh. Is he cinema's most terrifying villain? Whitey thinks he's second only to Darth Vader, and with that hair, maybe even scarier.As the team recalls first viewings and rewatch counts (shoutout to G Man's 15 and counting), the discussion spirals into tales of obsessive fans, including a local surfboard shaper who watched the movie weekly and theorised on every nuanced frame. This isn't just a movie, it's a layered riddle that demands attention, multiple viewings, and, apparently, a decent video store rental policy.Each Born to Watch host brings their own flavour to the conversation. Damo labels it a “one watcher” for its grim tone, while Dan declares it a regular “downtime” favourite on the land, fitting for a film that captures so much dusty silence and moral ambiguity. G Man and Whitey, meanwhile, dig into the deeper layers, noting how every watch reveals something new.The cast gets a well-deserved spotlight, with special attention paid to Javier Bardem's quietly horrifying performance. Gow dives into Bardem's rugby-playing past (yes, really) and his reluctance toward violent roles, ironic, considering Chigurh is basically Death with a pageboy cut. Josh Brolin's understated turn as Llewelyn Moss also gets love, as does Tommy Lee Jones' weary, philosophical sheriff. The gang reflects on Woody Harrelson's all-too-brief but memorable role and Kelly Macdonald's heartbreaking final scene.And in true Born to Watch fashion, the episode isn't just about highbrow film theory; it's a ride. Expect detours into Aussie weather patterns, rogue toasties, and the quality of Diane Lane's 2010s filmography. There are tangents on Baywatch, Peter Phelps' acting career, and even a debate on the New Yorker's most pretentious film review ever written. Trust us, you won't want to miss Whitey translating the nonsense of a critic who thinks name-dropping Elmore Leonard makes a hot take.As always, the team weighs in on whether the film cracks the Rank Bank. But the real joy is in the journey: Gow's taglines, Dan's literary deep dives, and Damo's reluctant respect all add up to a collective conclusion: No Country for Old Men might just be the smartest film to ever feature a cattle gun.So, if you love Oscar-winning nihilism, coin toss-induced dread, or just want to hear a bunch of Aussie legends unravel one of the Coens' most unnerving films, this is the episode for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Is No Country for Old Men the Coens' bleakest brilliance or just a beautifully shot nightmare? Would you call it heads or tails… or just run for the hills? Is Anton Chigurh cinema's most chilling villain or just a man with a bad haircut and worse manners?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show!Listen to the full episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and click the

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Senate Passes Big, Beautiful Bill In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and timely breakdown of the Senate’s passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a sweeping legislative package poised to reshape the political and economic landscape. Passed by a narrow 51-50 margin with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the bill now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature, expected by July 4th. This hour dives deep into the bill’s key provisions, including a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, hundreds of billions allocated for border security and national defense, and a projected $3.3 trillion budget deficit increase through 2034. The hosts analyze the political drama surrounding the bill’s passage, highlighting opposition from Republican Senators Rand Paul, Tom Tillis, and Susan Collins, and the expected reconciliation process in the House. Lefty Language Games Analysis of the Senate’s passage of the “big, beautiful bill,” a major piece of legislation expected to stimulate economic growth, provide tax certainty, and enhance border security. The hosts emphasize the bill’s imperfections but argue its net benefits outweigh its flaws, especially in the context of a government that often lacks the political will to reduce spending. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the unsustainable trajectory of federal spending, with references to past efforts by figures like Ross Perot, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Rand Paul. The hosts critique both parties for failing to curb entitlement growth and highlight how slowing the rate of spending increases is misleadingly labeled as “cuts.” They also explore how artificial intelligence and productivity gains could potentially offset fiscal challenges, offering a rare optimistic note on economic innovation. The Art of the Possible The Big Beautiful Bill now heads back to the House, where the Freedom Caucus may voice opposition, but it’s expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk for signature before the July 4th holiday. A major highlight of the hour is President Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, a remote airstrip facility intended for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump’s remarks emphasized deterrence, warning migrants against fleeing into the Everglades. The segment underscores the administration’s tough stance on immigration and sanctuary cities, with speculation that legal challenges may arise from cities defying federal deportation orders. Best Movie of the 21st Century? Clay and Buck debate the best movies of the 21st century, referencing a recent New York Times list. Films like The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and The Pianist are discussed, with particular praise for Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as the Joker. The conversation also includes listener favorites and humorous disagreements over ice cream flavors—particularly pistachio—and nostalgic TV shows like Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.

This week, the boys head back to 2007 to spin another Roger Deakins film, “No Country For Old Men”, currently streaming on Paramount+. While other shows have covered the film, we shoot from the hip and discuss how it felt to re-watch it and what it means to us. F those other stuffy critic narcs. The cinematographer from Dave's homeland had a helluva a year with three award-winning films, this one winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and cementing the Coen Brothers as industry elites, much to their Chigurh (that's a movie joke). Yeah, it beat “There Will Be Blood”. We talk about it a bit. John also opens with his “MI” and “Friendship” takes. Grab a beer and hear our thoughts. Our phone number is 646-484-9298. It accepts texts or voice messages. 0:00 Intro; 4:29 John's mini-review of “MI: The Final Reckoning” and “Friendship”; 14:52 Gripes; 17:47 2007 Year in Review; 38:52 Films of 2007: “No Country For Old Men”; 1:38:52 What You Been Watching?; 1:47:34 Next Episode Teaser Additional Cast/Crew: Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Roger Deakins, Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, Kelly Macdonald, Woody Harrelson, Stephen Root, Barry Corbin, Tess Harper, Gerret Dillahunt, Gene Jones, Scott Rudin, Paul Rudd, Tim Robinson, Hosts: Dave Green, Jeff Ostermueller, John Say Edited & Produced by Dave Green.

How do tapes work? Who's back (for the first time even though we don't see them)? And what's set way back in the middle of a field? We record the answers to these questions and more as we deconstruct Season 1, Episode 8 of Family Matters. Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls
“If we train our children only to harvest, who will plant the seed?”I wrote those words after contemplating the short-sightedness of so-called, “performance marketing,” on March 11, 2010.“Performance marketing” is the new name for direct response advertising. It works best when it extracts the value from a well-known brand. Its objective is to bring in a lot of money quickly.That is why business owners are attracted to it.But here's the caveat: value cannot be extracted from a brand unless it has first been created. You cannot squeeze a good reputation dry unless you first build a good reputation.Do you see the problem? When you have finally squeezed the last ounce of value from a good reputation, you don't have a good reputation anymore.As I was contemplating that last line I just wrote, the words “extraction of value” popped into my mind. I typed those words into the Google search bar. The AI Overview that appeared at the top of the page whispered to me in a conspiratorial tone: “‘The extraction of value' refers to the process of capturing or appropriating value from other stakeholders, often through exploiting a monopoly or manipulating competitive market processes, rather than creating new value.” – WIKIPEDIAThe eight words that leaped out of the paragraph were, “exploiting… or manipulating… rather than creating new value.”Do you remember that famous scene in the movie There Will Be Blood when Daniel says to Eli,“If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw… There it is. that's the straw, you see? Watch it. Now my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I… drink… your… milkshake! I drink it up!”That is the voice of performance marketing.The healthy alternative to performance marketing is sales activation within a relational ad campaign.Sales activation is like shearing the wool from a sheep. You can do it again and again and the creature is never diminished by it.Performance marketing is like slaughtering that poor sheep, piece by piece. It is painful, and there is nothing left when you are done.I apologize for putting that horrible image into your mind, but we are talking about your business.I'm sorry if I stepped over the line.Roy H. WilliamsYou will find 4 examples of what the wizard calls “sales activation within a relational ad campaign” on the first page of the rabbit hole. I can hear what you are thinking right now. And to that, I say, “You're welcome.” – Indy BeagleRoving reporter Rotbart will be away on a secret mission in Italy for the next two weeks. He didn't tell us exactly what it was, but here are our top 3 guesses. One: He is studying the original manuscripts of Leonardo Da Vinci for a special series of investigative reports to be aired on PBS this autumn. Two: The roving reporter was invited to the Vatican to meet with the Pope. Three: There is no secret mission. He is just eating gelato at a seaside cafe with his lovely wife, Talya, while gazing at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We will update you next week when we know more. – Ian Rogers

Send us a textWhat makes a composer tick? In this absorbing conversation with Dylan Glatthorn, we explore the unexpected creative influences that have shaped his musical identity. From a shy child with a toy piano to an accomplished composer for theater, film, and television, Dylan's journey reveals how early artistic experiences can profoundly shape a creative career.Dylan takes us back to his childhood in Tampa Bay, where The Beatles served as the "connecting glue" between his parents' different musical tastes – especially meaningful after their divorce. This early exposure to melodic innovation established his appreciation for music that balances emotional vulnerability with technical precision, a hallmark of his own compositional approach.The conversation delves into the nuanced storytelling of Sondheim's "Assassins," which captivated Dylan with its ability to navigate morally complex territory while balancing serious themes with sharp comedy. Similarly, Laura Marling's album "Once I Was an Eagle" demonstrates the power of music that is "both tender and subtle but also big and heartbreakingly forward" – a quality Dylan strives for in his own work.When discussing Spielberg's "Jurassic Park," Dylan analyzes how John Williams' score enhances the story without overpowering it, while Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" showcases Johnny Greenwood's experimental approach to film music. These contrasting influences reflect Dylan's versatility as a composer who can move between traditional melodic structures and more innovative techniques.Throughout our conversation, Dylan articulates a creative philosophy centered on authenticity: "Keep writing what you like, not what you think other people will like." This principle guides his current project "The Pelican," a musical about a coastal Florida town facing complete destruction from an approaching hurricane. Whether you're a fellow creator or simply curious about the artistic process, this episode offers valuable insights into how diverse influences coalesce into a unique creative voice.Check Out Dylan's WorkFollow My Pop Five: @mypopfive on all platforms We'll see you next time.
