This week on End Credits, our plans go awry. Or to put it another way, it's One Battle After Another. We will catch up with Paul Thomas Anderson who's new movie just dropped to rave reviews, but how do we feel about it? You'll learn that in due time after we flashback to 1995 and a wild weekend of strippers and serial killers at the movie theatre!
This Wednesday, October 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
Showgirls Vs. Seven. On the weekend of September 22, 1995, two very different movies opened wide at the North American box office: one is a stylish film noir about cops searching for a serial killer, and the other is a lavish Las Vegas satire about a dancer trying to climb the ladder to fame and fortune. To start the show, we will talk about the life and legacy of Showgirls and Seven and how these two very different movies launched at the same time.
REVIEW: One Battle After Another (2025). One of the most anticipated movies of the year, Paul Thomas Anderson finally teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio for a timely story about balancing revolution and parenthood. DiCaprio plays a retired resistance fighter trying to protect his 16-year-old daughter as government troops lead by Sean Penn search for them. A lot of praise has been showered onto Battle, and PTA has a lot of eager fans in the film bro community, but is this movie on track to be the Best of 2025, or, for that matter, can it possibly live up to the hype?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
