We’re tearing into the trailer for the new Paul Thomas Anderson film: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Friend of the pod, Brian Amyot joins us as we do a deep dive of PTA and the trailer. We laugh at some of the absurd moments shown, but also scratch our heads at others.

Do we think this trailer is a mixed bag? Listen to hear our thoughts.

Director's Cut:
*The original working title for the film was BATTLE OF BAKTAN CROSS.
*The teaser for the trailer premiere that was posted on social media: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHbAqt8pg8z/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
*These episodes are sometimes recorded way in advanced and eventually get edited and released later on, sometimes out of order. Since we recorded this episode the trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein was released. Unfortunately for Angel, The Running Man remake did not release a teaser with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
