This episode is brought to you by Claude from Anthropic. The last thing you want when you're watching a movie is an ad. It's disruptive, it takes you out of the experience, it ruins the whole thing. Well, same logic applies to AI. Some AI providers are already introducing ads into conversations, which means the tool isn't just helping you think, it's trying to sell you something. Anthropic is committed to keeping Claude ad-free. No sponsored answers, no hidden agenda, just the thinking partner for people who care about deep work. Try it for free at claude.ai/rewatchables. [upbeat music] The Rewatchables is brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where you can find The Big Picture with Sean Fennessey coming off a heroic live Oscars telecast.

So this is the third movie of CR Month. We did, Sicario was the first movie, and people are already saying, like, "Where does this go from here?" [laughs] Is it- I think it should end.
