It's time to reignite the rivalry, as our hosts Jon and Fil return for their biannual check-in to ask the question of all questions, "Are you an Anderson guy, or an Anderson guy?"

That's right, folks. With both Wes Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson releasing films this year, you better believe that we are back with a new instalment of ANDERSON vs ANDERSON!

This year, Wes Anderson is here with his 12th feature, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME. This quirky comedy stars Benicio del Toro as a ruthless tycoon, who launches the massive “Phoenician Scheme,” a nation-building infrastructure, but he’s sabotaged by enemies manipulating the bolt market and inflating his costs. Desperate to cover the financial gap, he begs his partners, including his resentful brother, for more funding, while also trying to mend his relationship with his nun daughter (Mia Threapleton) who goes along for the ride. Features fun appearances from Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, and Richard Ayoade.

And Wes Anderson's opponent, of course, is Paul Thomas Anderson, who delivered the biggest film of his life with his 10th feature, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Leonardo DiCaprio takes the lead in this Thomas Pynchon inspired action thriller/stoner comedy, playing Bob: a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. It's the spectacle of the year, and one of PTA's strongest films he's ever made. And for those looking for links, the boy of the year, Benicio del Toro rip roars his way through this film in a show-stealing performances as Sergio St. Carlos. He's had a few beers, and he's ready to save the revolution!

Which film do you think Jon and Film will pick to come out on top, as Anderson and Anderson battle it out once again? What was your favourite of the two?

Don't miss ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER showing from 70mm at The Prince Charles Cinema from 26th December.
