In this episode of 'Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast,' Nate and Chris discuss 'One Battle After Another,' Paul Thomas Anderson's 2025 opus, and its source material, 'Vineland' by Thomas Pynchon. The two discuss why both the book and the movie are considered instant classics. In their discussion, recorded just days after the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis at the hands of an ICE agent, they also discuss political storytelling and why it's more important than ever to be consuming stories like this one.
