Ep. 298 - The Room Next Door
Mar 2, 202501:19:59Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! This episode rounds out the last movie review before the two Scotts finalize their Top 10 lists for 2024, and it is a review of the Spanish auteur, Pedro Almodovar’s, first feature film in the English language: THE ROOM NEXT DOOR. After discussing Tilda Swinton’s and Julianne Moore’s performances, whether Almodovar’s writing and style translate seamlessly to the English languages, and the rather dour themes of the film, the co-hosts turn their attention to give another outdated awards update regarding this year’s guild nominees, as well as discuss the news that Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia film with Netflix will be receiving a theatrical release in IMAX theaters. See time codes below: 4:21 - THE ROOM NEXT DOOR review 50:53 - Awards update 1:06:49 - Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movie to get an IMAX theatrical release Next time: Top 10 Movies of 2024 Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods

Feb 28, 202501:17:23Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! This episode harkens back to mid-January, when the two Scotts discuss James Mangold’s return to the biographical musical drama with A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. After discussing Timothee Calamet’s musical chops (as well as Monica Barbaro’s!), whether A COMPLETE UNKNOWN adds anything to the Bob Dylan story, and whether the acting performances could enter the Oscar discussions, the co-hosts turn their attention to nominees for the guild awards that would’ve been a lot more interesting to discuss if the awards themselves hadn’t already been presented when this is released, as well as the ongoing casting saga of SCREAM 7. See time codes below: 3:31 - A COMPLETE UNKNOWN review 57:25 - Guild awards nominations 1:08:41 - Scream 7 casting news Next time: THE ROOM NEXT DOOR Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods
Transcribe →Ep. 296 - Nosferatu
Feb 26, 202501:15:44Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this episode, you will finally hear a conversation about movies that the two Scotts had in 2025, with their review the latest Robert Eggers movie, NOSFERATU. Recording shortly into the new year, they discuss all the craft elements, Eggers’ masterful control over the period setting, and the horror of all the performances up and down the cast. After discussing those items, the co-hosts turn their attention to a discussion of the Golden Globes winners, which seems like a distant memory now, and finally the news of what Christopher Nolan’s next film will really be: an adaptation of The Odyssey (all that casting makes a lot more sense now!). See time codes below: 6:35 - NOSFERATU review 50:13 - Golden Globes winners 1:08:23 - Nolan’s new film actually an adaptation of The Odyssey Next time: A COMPLETE UNKNOWN Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods

Feb 24, 202501:10:19Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this episode, we teleport you back to December, when the two Scotts recorded an episode talking all about the Lord of the Rings franchise’s return to animation - and first foray into anime - with the Kenji Kamiyama-directed, LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM. After discussing whether this adaptation lives up to the live action entries, the English voice cast including the likes of Brian Cox, and the world-building of Middle Earth, the co-hosts turn their attention to news of a live action remake of TANGLED, as well as Luca Guadagnino taking a pass at a “new adaptation” (definitely not a remake) of AMERICAN PSYCHO with Austin Butler in the lead role. See time codes below: 5:55 - LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM review 53:17 - Live action TANGLED remake in the works 1:02:28 - New adaptation of AMERICAN PSYCHO by Luca Guadagnino Next time: NOSFERATU Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods

Feb 21, 202501:23:23Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! Continuing with another episode we recorded in late November last year, the two Scotts review GLADIATOR 2, Ridley Scott’s nearly two-and-a-half decades in the making sequel to his Best Picture winning film. After discussing whether the film lives up to its predecessor, the quality of performances from the likes of Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, and whether Ridley Scott still has the action set piece juice, the co-hosts give a meaty awards update that would’ve been way more interesting to listen to back in early December. See time codes below: 9:24 - GLADIATOR 2 review 56:29 - Awards update (NYFCC winners, Golden Globe nominations) Next time: LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods
Transcribe →Ep. 293 - Wicked Part 1
Feb 18, 202501:12:06Tap to summarizeHello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! Delving into the catalogue of episodes we recorded last year to only post now, the two Scotts are starting with the Thanksgiving premiere of one of the biggest domestic movies of the year: WICKED PART 1. After discussing Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the world of Oz, and the music and themes, the co-hosts turn their attention to talk about a now quite dated story of Charlize Theron being cast in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film (at the time we didn’t know it was an adaptation of THE ODYSSEY and were very confused why all these big name actresses were signing on for a helicopter film), before discussing JJ Abrams’ upcoming under-wraps project. See time codes below: 8:55 - WICKED PART 1 review 59:31 - Charlize Theron cast in Christopher Nolan’s next film 1:06:11 - Casting for JJ Abrams’ next film Next time: GLADIATOR 2 Patreon: www.patreon.com/MediaPlugPods

The two Scotts recorded this lengthy discussion of Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winning romantic-comedy-drama about a sex worker caught in the whirlwind of a Russian oligarch's child's rebellious phase. After discussing Mikey Madison and the cast, the sobering reality of the film, and what it's Oscar bona fides may really be, the co-hosts also discuss Conan O'Brien being announced as this year's Academy Awards ceremony host, as well as more casting news for Chris Nolan's next film.

Dec 8, 202401:17:05Tap to summarizeHello and welcome to an all new (time capsule) episode of Some Like It Scott! We totally did not record this over a month ago, and life totally doesn't come at you fast. You're all about to get a whopping 4 eps over the next week and a half thanks to delayed editing and posting, and this exciting stretch starts with Ed Berger's papal thriller, CONCLAVE. The two Scotts discuss the performances of Ralph Fiennes and his cardinal compatriots, Vatican vibes, and whether the themes' and plot's twists and turns ultimately pay off in the end, before discussing the Gotham Awards nominations (you know that awards show which totally did not already happen), as well as news about James Gray's next film, PAPER TIGERS.
