Continuing my little 2025 review catch up with another film that came out during the summer movie season and it’s a Wes Anderson film, called “The Phoenician Scheme”.

In this review/video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives his full pros and cons about The Phoenician Scheme, from its direction to the cinematography, performances, story and how much did it work for him and where does fit for Wes Anderson movies in terms of favorites in his filmography.
