Kelsi and Trey review Wes Anderson's newest film The Phoenician Scheme and also trace the five distinct eras of Anderson’s career. Anderson’s latest pastel-laced genre experiment is part espionage caper, part theological road movie, and part anti-capitalist fever dream. We break down how this film fits into the “post-Grand Budapest” phase of his work, explore its sub-narratives and surreal spiritual detours, and celebrate its quietly brilliant three-hander core: Benicio del Toro as the morally compromised war profiteer, Mia Threapleton as his estranged nun-daughter, and Michael Cera as a bug-loving tutor.
