Episode 553: One Battle After Another (NO Spoilers!), Remembering Robert Redford, Megadoc, Chain Reactions, The Baltimorons

It's a jam-packed, mid-week episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. We begin with a super-early, spoiler-free review of "One Battle After Another." Paul Thomas Anderson's latest epic doesn't come out until Sept. 26, but we couldn't wait to talk about it. We'll do a spoiler-free LIVE YouTube chat at Noon Pacific on Tuesday, Sept. 30, so mark your calendars for that. And! Join us before a showing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER on opening weekend. We'll be at CinemaWest Beach Cities before the 6pm showing on Friday, Sept. 26. Say hello to us in the lobby bar starting around 530pm, then head into the theater and see the movie on their GIANT screen.

We catch up with the charming indie rom-com "The Baltimorons," about an unlikely relationship that develops on Christmas Eve. And we spend some time remembering Robert Redford, who died this week at his Utah home at 89. Words like "legend" and "icon" don't feel like enough in describing Redford's life and career. He was THE movie star. We'll honor him with our Off the Menu poll on our Patreon next month, so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for being here!
