As sequels go, its generally a plus to retain the writer of the original film.  Taylor Sheridan goes all in as the author of this second chapter and Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro reprise their characters.  But there is a certain void left by the absence of Emily Blunt, Roger Deakins and undoubtedly, Denis Villeneuve.  Still, Andrew found a lot to like about the film.  It's a compelling potboiler.  But Phil was not so fond of it.  He did have fun talking about Josh Brolin's frequent appearances as politically right-wing figures in film.
