Like "Sinners" and precious little else in recent American movies, Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" is brazen, provocative, unruly and divisive. It's also winning most of the major film awards this season. And it's an experience worthy of a big screen. 

On Thursday March 5, the 2025-26 U of I College of Media Roger Ebert Fellows--Paige Gaines, Amir Rehab and Jin Wang--will introduce a free 7 p.m. screening of "One Battle After Another" along with Ebert Fellowship advisor Michael Phillips. Here's a preview, with Michael in conversation with Jin, Amir and Paige, recorded last week in the WILL-FM studios. 

The Spurlock Museum Knight Auditorium is located at 600 S. Gregory St. in Urbana.
