Ridley Scott is a revered filmmaker who demands respect and he’s got it from the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network. He’s an automatic watch, and when you bring in talent like Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Ben Affleck, and Jodie Comer, that draw only increases. That said, it’s a really, really good thing this podcast was recorded before Ridley’s disparaging MCU comments, or a certain Marvel Shill would have exploded like the Anger from Inside Out. Instead, point your swords elsewhere! For our 36th episode, 25YL film critics, dishonorable dads, and chivalrous school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan debate the layered refinement that was attempted by Ridley Scott and a big-time cast for The Last Duel. Who throws down the gauntlet in this podcast episode to defend the senior director’s latest wannabe opus? Get your armor on, listen, and find out.
