    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.
