In this episode of What’s Next, Pete and Hannah dive into two very different but equally ambitious films, offering sharp takes and strong recommendations.

🎬 A House of Dynamite

Kathryn Bigelow returns with a taut political thriller about an unknown nation launching a nuclear strike on the United States. The hosts praise the film for its urgency, emotional stakes, and ensemble cast (Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris) — calling it “one of the year’s best.” They explore how Bigelow balances intimate character drama with high-stakes geopolitics, and discuss how the film's themes resonate in an era of escalating nuclear tension.
