One Battle After Another recap
The Testaments may be on hiatus, but we are not. We're Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland, and Natalie Hambly, and we're widening the lens — because the real magic of watching something doesn't end when the credits roll. This week we're discussing Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar-winning Best Picture, One Battle After Another: a nearly three-hour epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn and The Testaments own Chase Infiniti in her breakout film role, about ex-revolutionaries, inherited fights, and a teenage girl who keeps saving herself while the adults fumble around her. We unpack the parallels you didn't know you needed (hint: May Day is everywhere once you start looking), debate whether Perfidia Beverly Hills is an adrenaline junkie or a true believer, and fall completely in love with Benicio del Toro's Sergio. Watch along with us, then join the conversation.Follow Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod or email us at hello@eyesonscreen.com.au Hosted on Acast.

The Testaments Season 1 recap
The Testaments has wrapped, and we're not ready to let go. Now that we know what we know, we're going back to piece it all together — because the real magic of watching something doesn't end when the credits roll. We're Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland, and Natalie Hambly (formerly of Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid's Tale Companion), and this week we're doing a full season one recap of The Testaments: the threads we missed, the symbols that kept surfacing (horses, mirrors, pinky fingers), and the questions we're still turning over. We answer your listener questions — from why Aunt Lydia keeps shrinking in the frame, to whether Commander Weston is actually a good guy (narrator: he is not), to what on earth that kiss meant. Oh, and we speculate wildly about what season two might hold for the characters we've come to know, love, and loathe. Pinky promise to not let the bastards grind you down. Do you understand me?
