## Resource

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt take on Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another , a sprawling, noisy, and oddly funny adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland . Both hosts land on the same score (a rare feat!) but for very different reasons: Sophie’s swept along by the atmosphere, Matt can’t get over Sean Penn’s twitchy eyelids, and both are floored by how the film nails its sound design but fumbles its finale. Was it a masterpiece trimmed too long, or a messy epic saved by stellar performances? Expect nacho talk, Alana Haim cameos, and at least one argument about whether DiCaprio’s paycheck was worth it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
