In case you’re new to Medium Cool, BGinCHI is here once a week to offer a thread on culture, mainly film & books, with some TV thrown in. We’re here at 7 pm on Sunday nights.
First, an Announcement
Join Medium Cool on Sunday, April 24 at 7:00 EST for a Q&A with John Lingan, author of the forthcoming biography of Creedence Clearwater Revival, A Song for Everyone (Hachette, August 9, 2022). John will be there in comments to field questions and chat about the book and the band.

In this week’s Medium Cool, let’s talk about the films of Wes Anderson.
I can’t think of an American filmmaker who divides opinion more than Anderson (OK, maybe the other Anderson (Paul Thomas)). That a film like Don’t Look Up was nominated and The French Dispatch wasn’t is an indication. Anderson’s films are often dismissed as style over substance, and I could not disagree more.
So, it’s clear what I think, but I’m curious what you all think. From Bottle Rocket to the aforementioned film from this past year, what about it?
