Only a handful of people were watching the 35mm print of One Battle After Another with me yesterday.
They were the film equivalent of 6Music dads, dressed in faded parkas, sipping flat whites, scrolling Letterboxd on their phones before the lights dimmed.
Great movie.

His ancestor was Scoobert Doo I, a civil war hero.
