The new film, *One Battle After Another*, pits Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary, against his longtime rival, Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw, portrayed by Sean Penn. Critics are calling this their strongest work in years. Newcomer Chase Infiniti shines as Bob’s daughter Willa, alongside compelling performances from Teyana Taylor as Willa’s mother Perfidia, and Regina Hall and Benicio del Toro as former allies. However, the most praised aspect is director Anderson’s ability to capture the current cultural climate.

Kathy was showering when the doorbell rang. Joe, in the kitchen, saw the postman through the front window. He told the carrier Kathy wasn’t home and asked him to leave the package on the porch. When the postman asked for a signature, Joe went outside. The postman’s pen didn’t work, so Joe went back inside to find another one. A quick glance at the man’s shoes – tan suede with racing stripes, a style postmen didn’t wear in the 70s – saved Joe’s life. As the camera focuses on the man, we see Joe quickly realize something is terribly wrong. The scene cuts to the man pulling a machine gun from his bag, followed by Joe throwing a pot of hot coffee at him, starting a violent fight that destroys the kitchen. Despite the speed of the action, the actor conveys the shift in Joe’s understanding – from a vague unease to the realization that this isn’t a postman, and he’s in danger – in just three seconds and four steps.

Students at Godolkin University are highly competitive, and being at the top comes with a lot of pressure. This creates an interesting situation for Jordan, who is uncomfortable with being used by Vought, even though they receive benefits. A speech written for them by Stacey is especially upsetting – forcing Jordan to say the word “trans-tastic” feels like an attack, and they clarify that “trans” doesn’t accurately reflect who they are, as they identify as bigender.

Once he started speaking, he didn’t disappoint. Shortly after unexpectedly entering a surveillance van where a stressed John Economos was stationed – Economos had been assigned to monitor Peacemaker following the events of the first season, even though they were friends – and as Economos tried to draw his weapon and ask for identification, Tim Meadows delivered this line:
