‘One Battle After Another’ and ‘A House of Dynamite’ currently both have great-to-good reviews. But which is the real Oscar contender?
We’ve all finally caught up to Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. Coming into its debut weekend, the film boasted a reputation as The 2026 Best Picture Winner. After seeing the film with (varying degrees of) an audience, does it hold up to its reputation? And how far will Oscar voters embrace it? Plus, Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite received rapturous reviews out of Venice before a more subdued reaction at the New York Film Festival. Now that it’s rolling out to regional critics, we look at it and its place in the Oscar race. Will both make it? Find out what we think on this week’s podcast!
