One Battle After Another (2025) - Part 2 w/Ron & JD

Edit (10/23/25, 8am EDT) : There was an error with the audio for the intro (no ducking on the music) which has now been fixed. Reload if you have any issues. --David

David welcomes back Ron and JD from the Dungeons 'n' Durags podcast for a lively, free-flowing conversation about Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film. With good-natured debate and playful energy, the trio examines the film's portrayal of Black women revolutionaries, the controversial dynamics between Perfidy and her handler, and whether PTA successfully navigated telling this story.

The conversation gets spirited as they passionately disagree about character motivations—is there genuine affection or pure manipulation at play?—and explore connections to real-world revolutionaries like Assata Shakur. Through all the back-and-forth (and a few technical mishaps), the hosts demonstrate why this film has sparked so much cultural conversation while ultimately celebrating it as significant cinema. It's an entertaining discussion that showcases how great art generates passionate responses, even among friends who can't quite agree on what they just watched.
