One Battle After Another: One of the Year's Best?

This week we watched "One Battle After Another" and with a rare new film from Paul Thomas Anderson, the excitement was definitely high. Braden was thrilled just to see PTA behind the camera again, while Micah wasn’t impressed by the opening and felt it dragged the rest of the movie down. We break down where we feel the film struggles, where it's still great, and what (if anything) it’s actually trying to say politically. From expectations to execution, we dig into the filmmaking, the messaging, and whether this one earns all the buzz.
