Weekender: One Battle After Another and Spinal Tap II tell very different stories of the world
With two major films launching this week, The Screen Show's Jason Di Rosso pops in to share his thoughts.
One of Hollywood's major auteurs, Paul Thomas Anderson, brings us his second adaptation of Thomas Pynchon, turning Vineland into One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in an alternate near future not too different than our own. It's a propulsive action film, with a healthy sense of absurdism, that's also an examination of political and state violence and what one generation leaves to the next - but the team is split on how effective it is on those themes.
And Spinal Tap, one of the great mockumentaries, gets a sequel: The End Continues — but should it?
Plus Ce Benedict recommends The Hack, a new TV show on Stan, and the new Neko Case album brings the team together.
