We’re back for 2026! 

This week, we’re diving into One Battle After Another (HBO Max), Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest starring Leo DiCaprio.

Before that, we kick things off by defending the Stranger Things series finale (0:07). The internet loves to overreact, so we put things into perspective by revisiting some truly awful TV finales.

Finally, we get into One Battle After Another (33:21) — this one has big Oscar energy and we’re breaking down what works, what hits hard, and why it might go all the way on awards night.

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:38:27).

In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about Stranger Things & One Battle After Another and don't forget to like & subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!
