Zack Snyder is BACK! His next film is a foray into the comic-book adaptation of "300." Join me as we dive into this classic sword and sandal movie, talk about some cool shots, etc.

After a long hiatus, we are back with a new director's filmography to dive into. Our next director is a true visual stylist and also one of the most polarizing director's working out there. Can you guess who it is? Yup, next up is Zack Snyder. We start with his first directorial debut "Dawn of the Dead," the 2004 remake of a George A. Romero classic. Join me as I dive into this very eclectic, genr...

Finally, we come to the conclusion of our deep dive into the Filmography of Sir Ridley Scott from his first feature film, "The Duellist" all the way to his most recent film "House of Gucci." I go over themes, collaborations and go ahead and do my rankings of all the Ridley Scott films. Hope you enjoy.

I am not on the final film that has been theatrically released by Sir Ridley Scott, the under-rated "House of Gucci." I mean I get it; it's kind've a mess; but it's an awesome mess with great photography, pacing and performances. Join us as we learn about the fate of the Gucci Family.

We are at the final 2 Ridley Scott films are they are both BANGERS starting with the movie collaboration we did not know we wanted to see again, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. But instead of being best buds from Bostom, they are mortal enemies in France. Join me as I talk about the great "The Last Duel."

Do you enjoy a good Kidnapping yarn? Do you love rich people getting what they deserve, especially if they're dicks? Do you ever wonder how billionaires stay billionaires? Have you ever been to the Getty Museum of even the Getty Villa? If you said yes to at least one of these, then you will have a ball watching our next movie, "All the Money in the World." My only complaint about this movie is tha...

We have our first ever interview with Mr. Ethan Warren on this episode of "The Progenitor." We go over his new book "The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson: American Apocrypha," which you can purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/Cinema-Paul-Thomas-Anderson-Apocrypha/dp/0231204590/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34LPLIBCF0BOR&keywords=ethan+warren&qid=1675659365&sprefix=ethan+warre%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1...

We dive back into the world of XENOMORPHS with Alien: Covenant. Why can't space colonists be smarter? And why does faith always have to make the wrong choices? Join us as we journey in the Paradise Lost of sci-fi films.

Welcome BACK Sir Ridley with an epic adventure movie in Mars. Join me as we watch "The Martian." You can learn how to make your own water supply and even how to plant your own potatoes with human excrement.

What do you get when you combine the visuals from a Ridley Scott film and a Bible Story. A really long movie title. Join me as we watch "EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS." Again, what's with the title being so long. Why not just go with EXODUS!!!!

What do you get when you combine the sexiness of "True Romance" and the coldness of "No Country for Old Men?" You get this next film by Ridley Scott, "The Counselor," with an actual screenplay written by Cormac McCarthy. This modern day western takes the audience into a Drug Deal gone wrong. Join me in finding out what happens.

Is it a Prequel? An Origin Story of Xenomorphs and Replicants? Maybe a bit of all of it. Join me as I watch Ridley Scott's "Prometheus." We journey into the origin of the universe.

Who's your Robin Hood? Kevin Costner? A Fox? Well this isn't your Robin Hood now is it? It's the Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott Robin Hood. And the FINAL collaboration between the actor and director. Let's see if it lives up to it's legend. Join me in watching "Robin Hood."

Ridley Scott journeys into the Spy genre with his next film "Body of Lies," with an amazing cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, and Mark Strong. Join me to see if this movie is even worth the view. Spoiler alert, I like it A LOT!

The 70s. NYC. The Drug Trade is bustling. The cops are corrupt and on the take. Bumpy Johnson just passed. Who's gonna take over? Who's going to stop the corruption in the police force? Only one way to find out. Join us as we dive into Ridley Scott's Gangster epic, "American Gangster," starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

Ridley Scott tries something new. He dives into unknown territories with a Romantic Dramedy starring Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard. Join me as we watch "A Good Year." I don't have to tell you that SPOILERS ARE ABOUND on this romantic journey into wine, vineyards, meet cutes, and other shenanigans.

Next up, back to the Crusades with our buddy Ridley Scott and his new leading man...Orlando Bloom? Join me as I talk about one of my favorite Ridley Scott films "Kingdom of Heaven." Make sure to watch the Directors Cut.

WE ARE BACK WITH SPOILER ALERTS ABOUND! Join us in revisiting one of Ridley Scott's most intimate, ambitious and mature films. It is a tight, beautifully shot film starring the GOAT himself, Nicolas Cage. Matchstick Men.

Bloody Combat. Soldiers. Helicopters. No horses, swords or sandals, but a LOT of RPGs and Machine gun fire. This is the epic Black Hawk Down

Hannibal Eats Brain in this film. This is a bloody riot, but still not one of my favorites. Some great performances nonetheless.

One of the all time greatest Sword and Sandal movies that began a fruitful relationship between Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

Demi Moore at her best. She's sexy; she's aggressive, and she does one handed PUSH UPS. Not sure if this is feminist since it has some very sexual shots that only a man would've put in a movie, but it's still a pretty good action film. Not on the top tier of Ridley films.

Jeff Bridges, Scott Wolf, and a Seafaring Adventure. Much better than the last movie with a courtroom scene tied to it. Ridley Scott loves that water folks.

The longest movie title in Ridley Scott's ouvre so far? Maybe not. But a seaward adventure nonetheless with Christopher Columbus and his journey to the New World.
