Hello, reel ravers!

This week, Mary and Dave take a pause on McQuarrying and talk about Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film One Battle After Another in a discursive conversation that takes in conspiracy theories, the works of Thomas Pynchon, WWI political shenanigans, a spirited defense of Leonardo DiCaprio, a brief Beach Boys aside, a heartfelt encomium for Bad Boys, Sean Penn’s classic film from 1983, an emotional plea to leave Star Wars alone, oh, and also the movie occasionally.

Not sure what to make of this rich banquet of a film? Let Mary and Dave fansplain it for you!
