One Battle After Another, Urchin, and a 100th episode recap
Description
100 Episodes of The Cineskinny – luckily for such a milestone, the gang are blessed with two very very good films. Paul Thomas Anderson is back with a bang with the sprawling One Battle After Another, and Harris Dickinson's directorial debut Urchin is an annoyingly good first film that blends surrealism and social realism.
Elsewhere, we look back on our favourites from The Time of The Podcast, give a birthday shout-out to some films that deserve your attention, Ellie drops a quality Al Pacino impression and Jamie is foiled once again in his attempts to talk about one particular film.
Thanks to all who listen to this podcast, let's raise a glass to da movies...
