One Battle After Another

Perfidia Beverly Hills (Teyana Taylor) and "Ghetto" Pat (Leonardo DiCaprio) are part of a militant revolutionary group the "French 75" taking direct action against a government and system they despise. She's a flamboyant firebrand leading raids while he's a quiet bombmaker and their slightly unexpected relationship is maintained by the thrill of danger through ever more audacious capers.

During a raid where a large number of people in an immigrant detention centre are freed Perfidia humiliates the CO, Colonel Lockjaw (Sean Penn) and he becomes sexually obsessed with her. Lockjaw begins to co-ordinate the hunt for the French 75 as a pretext to get to her, specifically.

When Perfidia gives birth to a daughter Pat tries to settle down and this is when things between them start to disintegrate. A bank robbery goes wrong and Pat is left literally left holding the baby, on the run under a false identity.

Now, sixteen years later Pat is a washed up, out of shape middle aged guy with a headstrong daughter (Chase Infiniti) who doesn't believe in any of his paranoid ramblings.

Colonel Lockjaw comes for them.

Monolith

A journalist (Lily Sullivan) is house sitting for her parents after being involved in a political scandal that cost her job for releasing unverified information. Although she probably was right about the issues she was trying to highlight. There's also an element of being in hiding as she was doxxed and feels threatened.

Unable to find what she considers proper work she's signed to produce episodes for a sensationalist "conspiracy" podcast channel but is struggling to come up with material and might lose that job too.

Out of the blue she receives an anonymous email about people who have received strange 'bricks' that have odd effects on their life. Looking into it reveals a decades long pattern she starts to investigate.

No good will come of this.

A new, intriguing neighbour (Mads Mikkelson) moves in opposite and she follows him, witnessing him slay a monster in the form of a group of men piloting a Chinese dragon.

When her parents are finally eaten (the monster is very real), concluding he has been delivered by the wish, she steals money to hire him to slay the monster.

The neighbour is an elite hitman but very much doesn't believe in monsters other than human ones.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

A man (Sam Rockwell) bursts into an L.A. diner announcing that he's from the future and needs people to volunteer to save the world from an imminent AI apocalypse.

At a first glance he looks like a homeless person, dressed in weird stuff including a see-through raincoat with lots of random dirty electronics attached. To keep everybody in line he announces he has a bomb and the "suicide vest" looks pretty convincing to the diners.

He claims this isn't the first time he's been there, the endeavour has failed numerous times, but maybe this time will be "the win".
