Hello 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to the English languages, and the rather dour themes of the film, the co-hosts turn their attention to give another outdated awards update regarding this year’s guild nominees, as well as discuss the news that Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia film with Netflix will be receiving a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:

Hello 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.

Hello 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!).

Hello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott!

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.

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.

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.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's second Countdown miniseries of 2023, a podcast first focusing entirely on the works of Japanese animator, Hayao Miyazaki: the Miyazaki Countdown. To honor one of the living legends of animation, the countdown crew of Scott, Scott, and Jay will watch all 11 of Miyazaki's films to-date, rewinding all the way back to his directorial origins with 1979's action-adventure heist thriller LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO, all the way to his then-final film, 2013's biographical epic romance drama, THE WIND RISES.

In Part 11 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss what seemed for many years toa be Hayao Miyazaki's swan song, the 2013 animated historical drama, THE WIND RISES. Set over 20+ years in Japan, THE WIND RISES goes back to Miyazaki's own roots: World War II and airplanes, crafting a somewhat fictionalized bio pic of the Japanese aeronautical engineer and designer of several Japanese military planes used in World War II, Jiro Horikoshi. Young Jiro grows up longing to become a pilot, though he recognizes his nearsightedness will likely preventing him from doing so. One night, Jiro dreams of his hero, Italian World War I aircraft designer, Giovanni Battista Caproni. In this dream, Caproni tells Jiro that he's never flown a plane in his life, and that building planes is much better than flying them. Fast forward 7 years after the conclusion of World War I, and Jiro is off to Tokyo to study aeronautical engineering to fulfill his dream of building big, beautiful planes. On the train, he meets a young girl, Nahoko, and when the Great Kantō earthquake hits, assists Nahoko and her maid to safety. Two years later, Jiro graduates with his friend, Kiro Honjo, and both are employed in the aircraft manufacturing divisions of Mitsubishi to design and build fighter planes. Throughout the rest of his life, Jiro must reconcile the beauty of his passion and his creations with the terrible purpose it is clear that they will be used for. Something he struggles with, especially with failure after failure to successfully test his designs. The countdown crew discuss Miyazaki's most recent and arguably most personal film, including how many elements of Jiro Horikoshi's internal conflicts and personal reckonings feel like things deeply ingrained within Miyazaki himself, how his animation of airplanes comes to life after so many representations of them in his prior films, and how fitting of a denouement this would have been for his career, if not for the inescapable pull of trying to live, while the wind is rising.

In Part 10 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss Hayao Miyazaki's 2008 animated family fantasy film, PONYO. PONYO follows the eldest fish-like daughter, Brunhilde, of a once-human wizard, Fujimoto, who now lives underwater on a four-flippered submarine, after she secretly escapes on the top of a jellyfish. Emerging above water and eventually washing ashore in a small fishing village, a 5-year-old boy named Sōsuke finds Brunhilde and releases her from a glass jar she had become trapped in. Sōsuke cuts himself in the process, but Brunhilde magically cures his wound with a lick of her tongue, motivating Sōsuke to keep Brunhilde as a pet fish, name her Ponyo, and promise to protect her. After discovering Ponyo missing, Fujimoto searches for his lost daughter, whom he believes was kidnapped, eventually locating her at Sōsuke's home on the cliff by the sea, where he sends his wave spirits to rescue her. Ponyo's successful return to Fujimoto leaves Sōsuke deeply saddened and confused. but Ponyo quickly begins to rebel against her father again, refusing to respond to her birth name, Brunhilde, and beginning to transform herself into a human, thanks to the blood she licked off of Sōsuke's wound. The battle of wills between Ponyo and Fujimoto continues, while Sōsuke must reckon with Ponyo's (at least temporary) departure. The countdown crew discuss Miyazaki's first film specifically made with families and children in mind, whether the themes of the film still resonate for adults, and how the new cast of characters and advancements in animation stack up against the other films in Miyazaki's catalog so far.
Hello and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts and Jay revisit their Fincher Countdown days of old with David Fincher's latest Netflix outing and a bit of a return to his more classic thrillers, THE KILLER. After discussing Michael Fassbender's leading performance, the meta-commentary and themes of the film, and whether any of the kills rank up in the top Fincher kill moments, the Scotts discuss what seems like the end to the long-running SAG-AFTRA strike and the potential implications for Hollywood moving forward.

In Part 9 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss commercial hit follow-up to SPIRITED AWAY, the 2004 anime fantasy film, HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. Set in Miyazaki's now-familiar steampunk-esque post-industrial fantasy environment, the film begins with Sophie, a young hat-maker, encountering the titular wizard named Howl while on her way to visit her sister, Lettie. Howl rescues her from the harassment of local town's guards, only to himself be followed by mysterious black-ooze entities. After escaping, Sophie returns home later that night, only to be confronted by the Witch of the Waste, whose entities Sophie and Howl had escaped earlier that day. The witch curses Sophie, transforming her into a 90-year-old woman, and in-turn Sophie flees her family and town in search of a way to break the curse in the dangerous local countryside. While trekking through the plains and hills, Sophie eventually comes upon Howl's moving castle, where she enters to seek refuge without invitation. There, she meets Howl again, as well as his young apprentice, Markl, and the fire demon, Calcifer, that powers the magic of the moving castle. As always, things are more complicated than they initially seem, as Calcifer intimates that Sophie is not the only one in the castle bearing a curse, and the two agree to help each other free themselves from their respective burdens. The countdown crew give their thoughts on the exquisite step forward in animation that HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE represents, the old (anti-war) and new (aging) themes of the film, and whether Miyazaki continues to live up to the legendary expectations he has built for himself during his directorial career so far.

In Part 8 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss Hayao Miyazaki's most acclaimed film to-date, the 2001 Academy Award winning animated fantasy film, SPIRITED AWAY. SPIRITED AWAY tells the story of a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro, whose family are traveling to their new home in a new city. Chihiro's father takes Chihiro and her mother on a detour as they near their new home to explore an abandoned amusement park, and while there, they find a restaurant curiously fully stocked with prepared foods. Hungry, Chihiro's parents ravenously begin to consume the food, making Chihiro uncomfortable and leading her to explore the nearby attractions, including a bathhouse. Approaching the bridge to the bathhouse, a mysterious boy, named Haku, appears to Chihiro and begs her to leave before nightfall. Rushing back to warn her parents, Chihiro finds only pigs where her mother and father were before, and panickedly fleeing the impending nightfall, Chihiro is stopped in her tracks when an ocean of water blocks her path back to the amusement park entrance. Stuck in this unknown and scary fantastical world, Chihiro must adapt quickly to her new surroundings and navigate new potential allies and enemies, all while finding a way to rescue her parents and return to the real world. The countdown crew give their thoughts on what many consider Miyazaki's greatest film, including the numerous themes of environmentalism, consumerism, and traditional cultural values, in addition to discussing Chihiro as a potential evolution in Miyazaki's lead character archetype and the reversion back to a smaller-scale narrative from the expansive PRINCESS MONONOKE. (Oh yeah, and an absolutely ludicrous Joe Hisaishi score, though what's new.)

In Part 7 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss the film that catapulted Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli to international recognition, the 1997 fantasy epic, PRINCESS MONONOKE. Set in the late Muromachi period of Japan (14th-16th century AD) and centering on Ashitaka, one of the last young princes of the indigenous Emishi tribe, PRINCESS MONONOKE opens with a demon-possessed boar god attacking Ashitaka's village. He manages to fend the boar off, but at great personal cost, as the boar passes the curse to Ashitaka before he is slain. One of the elders of the Emishi tribe give Ashitaka a choice: set out from the village heading west in search of the cure to this curse and never be allowed to return to his homeland, or surely perish as the curse consumes him. Ashitaka of course takes the former option, and heads west, with only a single lead: a heavy iron ball in the stomach of the boar that appears to have caused the demonic corruption. On his journey, Ashitaka encounters Jigo, a mischievous monk who informs him that the Great Forest Spirit may be able to help cure him. When Ashitaka heads that direction, he encounters a new settlement - Iron Town, a refuge for societal outcasts like lepers and prostitutes - run by the enterprising Lady Eboshi, who is in conflict with the local wolf god of the forest, Moro, her two cubs, and a young girl, San, that Moro has taken in after she was abandoned in the forest as a baby. Ashitaka finds himself stuck in the middle between both sides of the conflict and must find a way to convince each side that peace and compromise are the better option than continued destruction of either the forest or the local people. Easier said than done for Ashitaka, and the countdown crew give their thoughts on what may be Miyazaki's most nuanced film to-date, discussing a number of complex themes about balance and duality, as well as economic development and environmental preservation. Those ideas, the most expansive plot of his since NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, and the production and musical score create a recipe for plenty to discuss.

In Part 6 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss one of the stranger films - at least in terms of origin - in Hayao Miyazaki's filmography, the adventure-fantasy film, PORCO ROSSO. Originally conceived as an in-flight animated short for Japan Airlines but eventually converting into a feature-length film, based on a manga of Miyazaki's own creation (à la NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND), PORCO ROSSO is a 1929-set period piece following the titular pig, Porco Rosso, an Italian World War I veteran fighter pilot-turned-bounty hunter. Porco lives a pretty chill life, lounging on a private patch of island somewhere off the coast, rescuing innocent civilians from the throes of airborne pirates whenever he is called upon. One day, after defeating the Mamma Aiuto Gang and treating himself to a dinner at the Hotel Adriano, run by his friend and maybe-love-interest Gina, Porco butts heads with an arrogant and hot-headed American hired gun, Curtis, who's been contracted by the local pirate gangs to aid in their next attack. Needless to say Porco and Curtis, who makes a pass at Gina, do not hit it off, and their conflict extends to the sky, where Curtis attacks Porco, severely damaging and crashing the iconic crimson plane and setting off a feud that tests Porco's honor as an ace in the sky. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Miyazaki's relatively low stakes return to the adventure genre, what themes may still lurk underneath the surface of this high-flying adventure, and if Porco joins the cast of memorable characters in Miyazaki's movies.

In Part 5 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss the conclusion of Hayao Miyazaki's incredible 3-year run with the 1989 fantasy coming-of-age anime film, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE. In a rare adaptation from Miyazaki, based on the Japanese children's fantasy novel of the same name by Eiko Kaduno, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE takes copious liberties in its telling of the coming-of-age story of a 13-year-old witch, who sets off from home with her talking black cat "familiar" named Jiji, under the good omen of a full moon. Like her witch mother before her, Kiki must spend a year in a city with no other witches in it, learn a skill, become independent, and thereby prove her worth and abilities as a witch contributing to society. Like all great coming-of-age stories (and adventures too for that matter), Kiki is quickly beset with setbacks: a great storm forces her to take shelter on a train overnight; an aviation-loving boy named Tombo is extremely forward with Kiki on the street after becoming enamored with her flying abilities; and Kiki of course has no idea what she's going to do and what of her skills she can leverage to survive and thrive in her new port-city home. The good news is that Kiki doesn't have to do it alone. She has her trusty familiar, Jiji, and a very kind bakery owner who provides Kiki with housing and a job while Kiki figures it all out. All that's left is for Kiki to navigate a new city, looking for a new job, with barely any friends! Easy enough. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Miyazaki's first real crack at a coming-of-age film, where Kiki ranks in the animation king's lead character ensemble thus far, and just how immaculate the vibes are combining the vision for the film's port city setting and Joe Hisaishi's strings-heavy European-inspired score.

In Part 4 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss one of Hayao Miyazaki's most iconic films: the family anime fantasy film, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO. Set in rural Japan in the 1950s, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO captures a slice of life of the Kusakabe family: father Tatsuo and daughters, Satsuki (10 years old) and Mei (4 years old), who recently have moved out of a larger city into the countryside, closer to Tatsuo's wife's hospital, where she is convalescing and recovering from a long-term illness. Satsuki and Mei adapt to their new life: they explore the house in search of "dust gremlins" hiding in the dark corners of the structure; they meet their neighbors - a matriarch named Granny and her children and grandchildren; and one day while Satsuki is at school, Mei wanders into the adjacent forest and stumbles upon a fantastical spirit she names Totoro, based on the sounds it makes as she plays with it. Rather than disbelieve or question her experience, Satsuki is jealous and wants to meet Totoro for herself, and Tatsuo encourages Mei and Satsuki to be watchful for these forest spirits that inhabit the land. The remainder of the film is less a quest to re-encounter Totoro and its fellow forest spirits, and more a compelling case of childhood adventure and a stark reminder that the childlike wonder and innocence of Satsuki and Mei could likely do us all a favor. The countdown crew discuss these notions, share their thoughts on the deeply emotional undertones of the film and its narrative context, and ponder the spiritual elements of Totoro and its fellow forest spirits.

In Part 3 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay discuss Hayao Miyazaki's first official Studio Ghibli film: the 1986 fantasy adventure anime film, CASTLE IN THE SKY. Written and directed by the Japanese master, CASTLE IN THE SKY immediately thrusts viewers into the action, as a gang of air pirates led by a woman named Dola infiltrate a government airship carrying a prisoner aboard named Sheeta. Dola's gang incapacitates Sheeta's handler, a government operative named Muska, but in an attempt to escape capture, Sheeta falls off the side of the airship. In midair, however, the precious crystal Dola's gang was attempting to steal activates and slows Sheeta's fall, until she gently lands in the arms of Pazu, a young local miner, who takes her to his home for her to rest and recover. The next day, as Sheeta and Pazu get to know each other and their shared connection to a mysterious floating city in the sky called Laputa, Dola's gang arrives at their doorstep and pursues them, with the military in toe, led by Muska. It's a race to recapture Sheeta and find out exactly what her mysterious crystal's powers are and whether they ultimately lead to the fabled castle in the sky. The countdown crew share their thoughts on Miyazaki's third outing, how he continues to set a standard for the genres he explores, and the particular magic of his template for fantasy-adventure.

In Part 2 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay are joined by fellow Hayao Miyazaki (and Nausicaä) fan Paul Oyama to discuss Miyazaki's sophomore directorial outing and first crack at a world and characters of his own invention, the 1984 post-apocalyptic fantasy anime film, NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND. Set in a distant future, 1000 years after an apocalyptic nuclear war that destroyed the majority of civilization and caused an ecological genocide, NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND tells the story of a 16-year-old princess, Nausicaä, from a local village-nation called the Valley of the Wind. The titular heroine excavates waste in and around the nearby Toxic Jungle that slowly grows and devours the remnants of human civilization. After rescuing her friend, Lord Yupa, from an attacking monstrous trilobite Ohm, they return to the Valley of the Wind. One night, however, the Valley's peace is disturbed when an airship from the neighboring nation-state of Tolmekia crash lands in the valley, carrying the embryo of one of the "Great Warrior" bio-weapons that were used in the apocalyptic Seven Days of Fire, 1000 years prior. Also aboard the ship was the hostage Princess of Pejite (another neighboring nation) that begs Nausicaä to destroy the embryo. Before Nausicaä can make heads or tails of the situation, Tolmekia invades the Valley setting Nausicaä on a course to try and prevent a second apocalyptic conflict. The countdown crew - and Paul - reflect on the quick evolution of Miyazaki's themes and filmmaking, whether Nausicaä and her fellow characters hold together under scrutiny, and whether the epic fantasy scope of the film delivers.

In Part 1 of the Miyazaki Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay tap into Miyazaki in his pre-Studio Ghibli days, with a discussion of Miyazaki's first feature-length directorial outing: LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO. Based on characters from the Lupin III manga, THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO follows veteran gentleman thief Lupin III, who with the help of his accomplice and righthand-man, Jigen, successfully robbed a casino, only to find their newfound fortune to be counterfeit cash, originating from a small sovereign nation named Cagliostro. Intent on acquiring his treasure, Lupin and Jigen head for the countryside of Cagliostro - where Lupin himself may have a bit of history - only to be swept up in the nefarious affairs of Count Cagliostro, who plans to marry the Princess Clarisse to affirm his power over the nation and regain the fabled ancient treasure of Cagliostro, combining Clarisse's ancestral ring with his own. The Count will find his plans not so easily executed however, thanks to the interloping Lupin, Jigen, and fellow associates Goemon, Fujiko, and the rival Inspector Zenigata. The countdown crew reflect on the world's first introduction to Miyazaki, the ensemble cast of fun characters, and whether Miyazaki's "spy" / Mission Impossible-type movie goes off without a hitch.

Join us each week over the next 10 weeks as we progress through Anderson's full oeuvre in the buildup to ASTEROID CITY!
On Part 10 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Wes Anderson's most recent film to-date, and discuss the anthology drama: THE FRENCH DISPATCH. Written and directed by Wes, THE FRENCH DISPATCH is set in 1975 and is imagined as an ode to bygone years of journalism (specifically The New Yorker magazine), and delivers that in the form of publishing one final issue for the French foreign bureau of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun newspaper, after its founder, Arthur Howitzer Jr. (Bill Murray), passes away unexpectedly. Howitzer wished for the bureau to cease publication after his death, but his staff put the finishing touches on the upcoming issue and publish it in his honor. The film unfurls almost magazine-like, in the form of an anthology, as it splits into 3 different short stories, preceded by an even briefer tour of the local fictional French city, Ennui-sur-Blasé and followed by Howitzer's obituary. The three central stories - The Concrete Masterpiece, Revisions to a Manifesto, and The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner - each are written by a different French Dispatch reporter. 'The Concrete Masterpiece' tells the story of a mentally unwell, incarcerated painter, Moses Rosenthaler (Benecio del Toro), whose nude paintings of a prison guard, Simone (Lea Seydoux), spark greed in a fellow inmate and art dealer Julien Cadazio (Adrien Brody), leading to a years-long quest to get Rosenthaler to paint new art for him to sell. 'Revisions to a Manifesto' plots the story of a French student protest-turned-revolution, led by the disaffected Zeffirelli (Timothee Chalamet), after the students' initial concerns about access to the girls' dormitory at school boil over when fellow protestor, Mitch Mitch, is conscripted into the French military. And finally, 'The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner', tells the daring story of the kidnapping and rescue of Gigi, the son of the Ennui police commissioner (Mathieu Amalric). Naturally, each story has much more going on beneath the surface, as each story's writer contends with the effects being so close to each events has on them, and sheds its own light on how the magazine's now-late editor-in-chief supported them in their journalistic endeavors. The countdown crew reflect on the star-studded cast, this new filmmaking format for Wes, and whether the the central 3 stories satisfactorily tie together.

On Part 9 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Wes Anderson's second attempt at stop-motion animation: ISLE OF DOGS. Set in a fictional near-future, dystopic Japanese city called Megasaki, ISLE OF DOGS charts the journey of a young boy, Atari (Koyu Rankin), whose authoritarian uncle and legal guardian, Kenji Kobayashi (Kunichi Nomura), as authoritarian the mayor of Megasaki, has banished all dogs to 'Trash Island', a small island off the coast of Negasaki, under the pretense of a dangerous double-pandemic: canine flu and snout fever. Atari's canine companion, Spots (Liev Schreiber) is the first dog to be transported to the 'Isle of Dogs', and after several months of planning, Atari sets out to rescue him. Once Atari makes his crash landing onto the island, he meets a pack of dogs that include the stray leader, Chief (Bryan Cranston), as well as Rex (Ed Norton), King (Bob Balaban), Duke (Jeff Goldblum), and Boss (Bill Murray). Together, Atari and his newly met companions set off across Trash Island in search of Spots, and quickly learn that Atari's uncle has more dastardly plans in store, both for Megasaki and the dogs on Trash Island. The countdown crew reflect on what Wes has done to evolve his game since his first animated outing in FANTASTIC MR. FOX, who brings the most heat out of the ensemble voice cast, and whether the themes of the film resonate more deeply after a global pandemic of our own.

On Part 8 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit one of Wes Anderson's most widely acclaimed works: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. Solo written and directed by Anderson, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL is the auteur's 2014 comedy-drama and has the unique appeal of being a bit of a story within a story within a story... within a story, when a young woman visits the shrine of a renowned, unnamed author in the former nation of Zubrowka. The woman reads the author's most cherished book - The Grand Budapest Hotel - in which the author (Jude Law) recounts his vacation several decades prior to the once-grand, but now-decaying titular hotel. There, he meets the hotel's mysterious, aging owner, Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham), who over dinner with the author tells his rags-to-riches story from the day he stepped foot in the hotel. Enter the film's lead, Ralph Fiennes, who stars as Monsieur Gustave H., the famed concierge to one of the most renowned resorts in all of Eastern Europe. After quickly learning of the younger Zero (Tony Revelori's) commitment, takes the youthful lobby boy under his wing. Gustave mentors him, gives him responsibility, takes care of him, but inadvertently also puts him in danger when one of Gustave's mistresses, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), dies suddenly and leaves a valuable painting to Gustave that her villainous son, Dmitri (Adrien Brody) covets. Cue a heist, a prison break, a cross-continent chase, and plenty of hi-jinx along the way, all in Wes Anderson's now-iconic style. The countdown crew reflect on the massive ensemble cast, the film's humor, the maybe-surprising emotional heft, and whether it is indeed Wes Anderson's magnum opus to-date.

On part 7 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit MOONRISE KINGDOM, Wes Anderson’s return to the coming-of-age comedy-drama. Directed by Anderson and co-written with Wes regular, Roman Coppola, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of two disaffected, pre-teen, star-crossed lovers on the small New England island called New Penzance. Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) is a much-disliked orphaned Khaki Scout at Camp Ivanhoe, under the command of Scout Master Randy Ward (Ed Norton), but when he absconds from Camp to meet up with his romantically inclined pen pal, Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward), who herself feels depressed and deeply disconnected from her parents and three younger brothers, a great search begins involving Scout Master Ward's entire trooper, Suzy's family, and the island's local sheriff, Captain Duffy Sharp (Bruce Willis). Sam and Suzy rendezvous in the wilderness, hike, camp, and fish, all with the goal of reach a specific, yet-to-be-revealed location, but with their families and fellow Khaki Scouts hot on their trial, the rest of the film explores the sensibilities of young love, strained parenting, and tenuous mental health, all with a tenderness that hasn't always been as prominent in Anderson's filmography. The countdown crew reflects on what this film says about Anderson's evolving tenderness, his renewed knack for exposing unfound talent, and discuss at length whether this might be Bruce Willis's last great performance.

On part 6 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay get to talk about a countdown series first: an animated film, with Wes Anderson’s 2009 stop-motion animated comedy, FANTASTIC MR. FOX. Directed by Anderson, and co-written with THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU collaborator, Noah Baumbach, and adapted from the famous Roald Dahl children’s book, FANTASTIC MR. FOX stars George Clooney as the titular Mr. Fox, who after several years removed from his life of thievery, finds himself on a spree of thefts, victimizing three local farmers - Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Bunce (Hugo Guinness), and Bean (Michael Gambon - who begin to hunt down his family - his wife, Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep); his son, Ash (Jason Schwartzman), and nephew, Kristofferson Silverfox (Wes’s brother, Eric Chase Anderson) - and ultimately his community in retaliation for stealing from them. Along the way, Mr. Fox must learn that his lifestyle and behavior has deeper ripples and longer-lasting consequences than just those that apply to him. Featuring several memorable cameos from the likes of Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, and several others, FANTASTIC MR. FOX is Anderson’s first endeavor into stop-motion, and the countdown crew talk all about how his filmmaking sensibilities translate to the new medium, how well the ensemble voice cast fits their roles, and whether Roald Dahl’s timeless children’s book is well-suited for Anderson’s storytelling.

On part 5 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay return to talk all about Wes Anderson’s 2007 family comedy-drama, THE DARJEELING LIMITED. Directed by Anderson and co-written by Anderson with now-frequent collaborator Jason Schwartzman and with first-time co-writer Roman Coppola, THE DARJEELING LIMITED stars Anderson regulars Owen Wilson and Schwartzman, alongside Adrien Brody as 3 estranged brothers: Francis (Wilson), Peter (Brody), and Jack (Schwartzman), who meet aboard a train in India, The Darjeeling Limited, for the first time in over a year since their father’s funeral. All three men are still mourning their father’s death in various ways, and having recently survived a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Francis wishes to reconcile with his brothers during a journey of spiritual self-discovery through South Asia. His motives are not entirely pure, however, as he also is covertly searching for their mother, Patricia (Anjelica Huston) whom all three brothers have not seen for many years since she abandoned them and their father for convent life. Francis’s controlling nature emerges quickly, as he plans a strict itinerary for the three of them and confiscates their passports to prevent either Peter or Jack from leaving early. As the train journeys through the Indian countryside and to various spiritual sites, tensions rise between the trio, and in order to regrow their fraternal bond and properly mourn their father’s death, Francis, Peter, and Jack will have to look past their differences and accept each other for who they are. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Anderson's fifth film, including the performances of its three leading men, the twists and turns their journey takes through India, and whether the themes of family and loss ultimately coalesce well together.

On part 4 of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay review Wes Anderson's 2004 adventure comedy-drama, THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU. Directed by Anderson and co-written with Noah Baumbach in the first of several collaborations between the two, THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU stars Bill Murray in the titular role, as an eccentric oceanographer-turned-documentarian who is on a quest for revenge against a rare 10-meter-long luminescently spotted "jaguar shark" that devoured his best friend and lead diver, Esteban, on the shoot of his most recent documentary. Zissou is joined on his ship, the Belafonte, by his eclectic crew that includes Eleanor (Anjelica Huston), his estranged wife who serves as Zissou's chief strategist and financial expert; Pelé (Seu George), the vessel's safety expert who also plays the guitar and sings David Bowie songs in Portuguese; and Klaus (Willem Dafoe), a feisty German first-mate, who views Zissou and Esteban as father figures. The Belafonte and "Team Zissou" aren't in total harmony, however, as rifts begin to grow among the crew, and some new chaos is introduced with two new joiners to the crew for the latest expedition: Ned (Owen Wilson), who believes Zissou may be his father, and Jane (Cate Blanchett), a pregnant reporter who has been sent to chronicle Zissou's latest film, that both Zissou and Ned also happen to be attracted to. When the financing for Zissou's final voyage for revenge against the jaguar shark falls through, Ned offers Zissou his inheritance to fund the expedition, leading Eleanor to leave in disgust of Zissou's exploitative behaviors. The tension among the crew only grows deeper as Zissou gives more and more attention to Ned, frustrating Klaus in the process, while also competing with Ned for the affection of Jane. The wacky leftovers of Team Zissou have quite the adventure ahead of them, however, and Zissou is determined to find the jaguar shark that killed his best friend. Who knows, maybe he'll learn some life lessons along the way. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Anderson's fourth film, including its journey to cult status, its more adventurous spin on Anderson's narrative style, and the ensemble cast brought to bear.

Join us each week over the next 10 weeks as we progress through Anderson's full oeuvre in the buildup to ASTEROID CITY!On the third episode of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay review Wes Anderson's 2001 family comedy-drama, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS. Created in the same style as RUSHMORE - directed by Wes Anderson and co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson - THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS is narrated by Alec Baldwin but led by Tenenbaum family patriarch, Royal (Gene Hackman), who has been separated for over 20 years from his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), who has custody of their 3 children, Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson), and the adopted Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), all savants in one subject or another in their own right and who Royal takes advantage of without giving much, if anything, in return. Now down on his luck, Royal is evicted from the hotel he had been living in, and has nowhere to go except crawling back to the house where Etheline now lives out her retirement years. There, he learns that Etheline's new boyfriend, an accountant named Henry (Danny Glover), has proposed to her, and as a result, fakes having stomach cancer to try to win back his wife's and children's affections through pity. Chas, whose wife recently died as a result of a plane crash and who has become overprotective of his two children, Ari and Uzi; Richie, who is traveling the world on a cruise ship following his most recent breakup and who professes his love of his adopted sister Margot to his not-quite friend and confidant Eli (Owen Wilson); and Margot, who is married to an older neurologist, Raleigh St. Clair (Bill Murray) and who is depressed and hiding this fact from her husband and family; are all summoned to their father's "deathbed", a ruse which of course unravels rather quickly as each member of the Tenenbaum family is deeply familiar with Royal's wiliness. Royal will have to work a lot harder to win back the favor of his somewhat-estranged family and maybe even find personal redemption along the way. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Anderson's third film, including the nuanced themes, the ensemble cast's performances, and how Anderson's filmmaking style continues to refine and evolve.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's newest Countdown miniseries: the Wes Anderson Countdown. To honor one of the great still-working indie writer-director auteurs, who's next film ASTEROID CITY comes out later this year, Scott, Scott, and Jay will be watching all 10 of the American filmmakers' works to-date, from his origins with the '90s heist-comedy BOTTLE ROCKET, all the way to his latest feature, 2021's star-studded anthology drama THE FRENCH DISPATCH. Join us each week over the next 10 weeks as we progress through Anderson's full oeuvre in the buildup to ASTEROID CITY!
On the second episode of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay review Wes Anderson's sophomore directorial outing, the coming-of-age comedy-drama, RUSHMORE. Directed by Anderson and co-written with BOTTLE ROCKET star and co-writer, Owen Wilson, RUSHMORE stars soon-to-be frequent Wes Anderson collaborator, Jason Schwartzman, in his first film, playing the role of the eccentric 15-year-old high-school student, Max Fischer. Max is a scholarship student at the prestigious school, Rushmore Academy, but is a bit of a problem child. He participates extensively in extracurricular activities, founding and leading many clubs at the Houston private school, but he struggles to scrape by academically, finding himself on academic probation and dangerously close to being expelled from the school. This newfound status only feeds the chip on his shoulder as one of the few middle-class kids amongst a mostly affluent and privileged student body. Soon though Max makes two new adult friends: Herman Blume (Bill Murray), a disillusioned parent and local business owner, who despises his twin sons Ronny and Donny, who both attend Rushmore, and Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), a widowed 1st-grade teacher at Rushmore, who left an intriguing written message in a book Max checked out from the school library. Herman and Max become odd but fast friends, while Max's crush on Rosemary begins an unhealthy obsession with her. These two new relationships in Max's life shape who he is to become, but not without some meaningful consequences along the way. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Anderson's second outing, including the semi-autobiographical nature of Max, the coming-of-age themes, as well as the performances of Schwartzman, Murray, and Williams.

Join us each week over the next 10 weeks as we progress through Anderson's full oeuvre in the buildup to ASTEROID CITY! On the first episode of the Anderson Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay start their journey in 1996 with Anderson's feature-length directorial debut BOTTLE ROCKET. Directed by Anderson and co-written by Anderson with mutli-hyphenate Owen Wilson, who also stars with his brother Luke Wilson in the film as Dignan and Anthony respectively, BOTTLE ROCKET follows Dignan and Anthony's execution of the former's overly intricate '75-Year Plan' to pull off a series of heists and become career criminals alongside a small-time criminal known to Dignan, Mr. Henry (James Caan). Dignan and Anthony's plans start with practice heists - to mixed success - and recruiting a getaway driver, Bob (Robert Musgrave), but as the trio get deeper and deeper into their plans, their ineptitude may just be their downfall. The countdown crew give their thoughts on Anderson's first outing, including early indications of Anderson's writing and directing styles, the performances of the cast, and the effectiveness of Anderson's take of blending comedy and drama.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest Countdown miniseries: the 007 Countdown. This time, in honor of the upcoming release of the 25th film in the franchise, NO TIME TO DIE, Scott, Scott, and Jay will be revisiting an abridged selection of 007 films to see how James Bond has evolved across decades, storylines, directors, and actors. Starting with the legendary performances of Sean Connery in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and GOLDFINGER and ending with the full retinue of Daniel Craig's performances across the last decade and a half, the countdown crew will give their thoughts on 10 different Bond films. Join us each week as we dissect a different Bond film!
On the penultimate tenth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Craig's 4th, Sam Mendes's 2nd behind the camera, and the most recent of the Bond movies in SPECTRE. SPECTRE opens with Bond on a "vacation" in Mexico City during the city's infamous Day of the Dead festival and parade. All too quickly it becomes clear that Bond is not really on vacation though, as he stalks a mysterious target, Marco Sciarra (Alessandro Cremona) to a rendezvous with other locals and attempts to assassinate him. Though he fails in his first attempt, the ensuing foot chase does ultimately end in success for 007, only for him to return to England and be placed on administrative leave by Ralph Fiennes's new M, under scrutiny from government oversight committees, specifically Max Denbigh or "C" (Andrew Scott), the head of MI5, who are trying to shut down the 00-program. Why did Bond risk so much in Mexico City you might ask? Because Judi Dench's belated M left him a message from beyond the grave: assassinate Sciarra and "don't miss the funeral". Of course, Bond does not follow M's instructions and instead heads to Rome for Sciarra's funeral, where the web of shady businessmen, spies, and terrorists that have dogged his past finally begins to unravel. As always, the countdown crew give their thoughts on all of it, including whether Sam Mendes is able to equal his first outing, whether Daniel Craig has overstayed his welcome as Bond, and whether the 007 franchise has simply run out of ideas.
Welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts head west for Clint Eastwood's latest in a long career of acting and directing, CRY MACHO.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest Countdown miniseries: the 007 Countdown. This time, in honor of the upcoming release of the 25th film in the franchise, NO TIME TO DIE, Scott, Scott, and Jay will be revisiting an abridged selection of 007 films to see how James Bond has evolved across decades, storylines, directors, and actors. Starting with the legendary performances of Sean Connery in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and GOLDFINGER and ending with the full retinue of Daniel Craig's performances across the last decade and a half, the countdown crew will give their thoughts on 10 different Bond films. Join us each week as we dissect a different Bond film!
On the ninth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a trip back to Bond's roots, in Daniel Craig's third outing as the famed secret agent in SKYFALL. SKYFALL picks up some time after the events of QUANTUM OF SOLACE, and finds Bond once again on a mission, this time in Istanbul to stop a mercenary who has stolen an MI6 hard drive with the names of all active British intelligence agents undercover around the globe. Bond's pursuit of the mercenary through the Turkish city culminates with a fistfight on top of a moving train that leaves 007 in free fall thanks to an errant bullet from fellow field operative, Eve (Naomie Harris), and the hard drive in the wrong hands. With Bond nowhere to be found, M (Judi Dench, one last time) and MI6 must pick up the pieces of the disastrous op, facing blowback at home from government oversight committees, and abroad when a shadowy figure taunts M for her sins, detonating a bomb at MI6 while she's not there, and threatens to decode the hard drive and start releasing the identities of undercover agents. As news of the terrorist attack reaches the far-flung shores where Bond has sought refuse since being shot in Istanbul, 007 decides to report for duty and is sent all the way to China to follow leads for the mysterious figure threatening fellow British agents. As always, the countdown crew give their thoughts on all of it, including whether SKYFALL has the ultimate Bond girl, whether the persistent theme of failure throughout the Craig Bond films continues to hold interest, and whether Sam Mendes's particularly style and flare translates well to the 007 franchise.

On the eighth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay pick up right where the previous episode left off, with the direct sequel to Daniel Craig's first outing, QUANTUM OF SOLACE. QUANTUM OF SOLACE barely misses a beat in picking the story back up, as Craig's Bond is racing the famous Aston Martin down a mountain road after kidnapping Mr. White at the end of CASINO ROYALE. Ultimately managing to outrun and outsmart his pursuers, he returns to the MI6 Siena, Italy safehouse. During interrogation, however, it is revealed that White's organization, the mysterious group known only as Quantum, has tendrils stretching all the way into MI6 itself. M's personal bodyguard turns double-agent, makes an attempt on Bond's and M's lives, and then attempts to escape, only for Bond to pursue on-foot. During the pursuit, White also escapes, and that sets events in motion for Bond to once again trot across the globe to learn more about Quantum and to find those he deems responsible for Vesper's death. The countdown crew give their thoughts on all of it, including whether QUANTUM OF SOLACE lives up to the extremely high bar set by CASINO ROYALE, whether the raw emotion of Craig's debut is carried through to his sophomore outing, and whether the performances of Craig, Judi Dench, and all the newcomers impress.

On the seventh episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the first entry in the latest version of Bond: the Daniel Craig-starrer, CASINO ROYALE. Directed by Martin Campbell, CASINO ROYALE serves not only as a starting point for Craig's new version of Bond, but also as a soft reboot for the franchise as a whole. The outset of the film shows how Bond achieved his 00-status, and two kills later, the journey fast-forwards to Madagascar for an epic chase scene where Bond is tracking a bomb-maker connected to a terrorist cell plotting an attack on a yet-to-be-determined location. Bond follows a lead to the Bahamas, where he encounters a corrupt Greek official, Alex Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian), whom he believes is the key to discovering the planned terrorist attack. Bond's adventures continue from there and ultimately involve evolved Bond girl Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) and terrorist financier Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) with ties to a wider criminal organization. The countdown crew give their thoughts on all of it, including Craig's new "modern" version of Bond, the progress in the Bond girl department, and whether this different approach to a Bond spy film works.

On the sixth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay do see 6 years pass since LICENSE TO KILL, but do pick up the series with the next (17th) entry, GOLDENEYE, which also heralds the arrival of the long sought after Pierce Brosnan in the leading role. As is customary, GOLDENEYE opens with a stunt-laden introduction for the new Bond, infiltrating a Soviet chemical weapons facility run by a man named Colonel Ourumov (Gottfried John) on a top-secret mission in 1986. 007 links up with 006, Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean), but the latter is captured and killed, as Bond escapes. Fast forward 9 years to 1995, and the Soviet Union has now dissolved, and Bond attempts to prevent a member of the Janus Crime Syndicate, the oh-so-cleverly named Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), from stealing a helicopter capable of surviving EMP bursts. Shortly thereafter, a Siberian radar facility comes under attack as old enemy Colonel Ourumov uses the EMP-resistant helicopter to steal a space-based Soviet weapon capable of firing a targeted nuclear EMP blast, simply called GoldenEye. Ourumov and Onatopp destroy the facility and escape safely in their helicopter, spawning a hot pursuit from Siberia to Cuba with quite a few shocking discoveries along the way. The countdown crew give their thoughts on all of it, including Brosnan's Bond, the colorful supporting cast of Bond girls and villains, and whether this franchise is capable of any new tricks 17 movies deep.

On the fifth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay fast forward to the 16th film in the franchise and a new take on Bond with Timothy Dalton's second and final outing as the British secret agent, in 1989's LICENSE TO KILL. One of many directed by John Glen, LICENSE TO KILL starts with Dalton's Bond celebrating long-time friend and CIA operative, Felix Leiter's (David Hedison) wedding in Key West, FL. The wedding processional is disrupted by the news that cartel kingpin Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) is nearby, and Leiter and Bond assist DEA agents in capturing him. All is not well, however, as Leiter and Bond become targets of Sanchez and his operation when the former escapes from DEA custody just hours after his capture. Leiter's newlywed wife is murdered and he himself is mauled to within an inch of his life after being fed to a shark. Reeling from the attempt on one of his closest friend's life, Bond goes on a killing spree that sees him go rogue from MI6 and takes him from Key West to Panama in the hunt for those responsible for Leiter's condition. The countdown crew are on hand to give their thoughts on Dalton's take on Bond, whether the rogue-agent-revenge-story works well, and if the Bond girls ever get any better.

On the fourth episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay skip one movie to the 10th film in the Bond franchise and Roger Moore's third with 1977's THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. The film picks up with Moore's Bond assigned to investigate the disappearance of two nuclear submarines, one British and one Soviet. He is in competition with KGB agent Triple X, Anya Asamova (Barbara Bach) in Egypt, as they each try to recover the microfilm plans for an advanced submarine tracking system for their own nations. However, the two traditional rivals are forced to team up when the iconic henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel) shows up to steal the plans, returning them to the mastermind of the nuclear submarine theft, Karl Stromberg (Curt Jürgens). As usual, Bond (and Asamova) must race agains the clock to foil Stromberg's plans, and the countdown crew are on hand to give their thoughts on this entry in the Bond franchise, more specifically whether Moore has continued to settle into the Bond character, the cast of supporting characters, and whether this story might be a bit easier to follow than some previous entries in the franchise.
Welcome everyone to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott!

On the third episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay fastforward slightly to the 8th film in the Bond franchise and Roger Moore's first foray into playing the famous British secret agent in 1973's LIVE AND LET DIE. The film follows Moore's Bond as he explores the big city (New York), the Caribbean (San Monique), and the bayou (New Orleans) all in the hopes of unraveling the plot of Harlem heroin drug kingpin, Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans to distribute two tons of the opioid to put rival drug lords out of business and create a monopoly over a population highly dependent on the addictive drug. The countdown crew give their thoughts on how Moore follows up the legendary performances of Connery and whether LIVE AND LET DIE itself holds up.

On the second episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the follow-up to last week's film and the third movie in the Bond franchise, GOLDFINGER. The film opens with Sean Connery's Bond successfully completing a mission that finds him bombing a drug lab in Latin America. After completing his mission, he flies to Miami for a short holiday, only to be spoiled with the assignment of observing bullion dealer, Gert Fröbe's Auric Goldfinger, who is vacationing at the same hotel. It doesn't take Bond long to discover some of Goldfinger's less illicit, but still shady dealings, cheating at a high-stakes game of gin rummy via his employee, Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton). Bond foils Goldfinger's cheating and seduces Jill, only to be knocked unconscious in his room by Goldfinger's manservant, Oddjob (Harold Sakata). When Bond wakes up, he finds Jill dead, covered from head-to-toe in gold paint. Bond returns to England, but his Goldfinger assignment doesn't end there, as he is tasked with uncovering how Goldfinger is able to transport large caches of gold across international borders and thereby exploiting different gold prices in foreign markets. This assignment takes Bond to Switzerland and finally back to the U.S. to Kentucky, on a collision course with the now-infamous Fort Knox "heist" that Goldfinger aims to accomplish. The countdown crew give their thoughts on whether GOLDFINGER builds on the formula established in its predecessors, whether Connery continues to live up to the Bond archetype, and whether this film indicates an upward trajectory for the Bond franchise overall.

On the first episode of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay venture all the way back to 1963 for the sophomore film in the franchise and the one that is known for establishing the Bond formula, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Directed by Terence Young in his second outing, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE finds Sean Connery's James Bond shortly after his successful mission in Jamaica, foiling the plans of and slaying SPECTRE member, Dr. No. SPECTRE want their revenge on Bond, and so they set a trap for him in Istanbul using an unwitting Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianci) to lure Bond in for specially trained Irish SPECTRE assassin, Donald "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw), to murder him. Once in Istanbul, things don't go as planned for either Bond or SPECTRE, as a game of cat and mouse leads ultimately to a famous showdown on the Orient Express. The countdown crew give their thoughts on one of the earlier entries in the franchise, whether Sean Connery lives up to his renown for the famous role, and whether this particular film has aged well nearly 60 years later.

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On part 9 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Fincher's most recent film, the 2014 psychological mystery thriller, based on the best-selling Gillian Flynn novel of the same name, GONE GIRL. Starring Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, a writing teacher at a local college, and Rosamund Pike as Nick's wife, Amy, GONE GIRL embarks as a story to solve the mystery of Amy's sudden disappearance on hers and Nick's 5th wedding anniversary. However, as the investigation into her disappearance progresses, Nick becomes a prime suspect in the eyes of their local Missouri town and in the eyes of Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens). Nick and his sister, Margo (Carrie Coon), attempt to prove Nick's innocence, but as the context of Amy's disappearance becomes clearer, it is apparent that something quite suspicious indeed was going on in the days, weeks, months, and even years leading up to her disappearance, as the first half of Fincher's and Flynn's story unfolds with dueling narratives: one in the present from Nick's perspective after Amy's disappearance is discovered and the other in the past from Amy's perspective, telling the story of Nick and Amy's relationship. The countdown trio give their thoughts on the two lead performances from Affleck and Pike, the quality of the supporting cast, how compelling the plot and the narrative is, and whether the film may go too far in certain departments for some podcast members' likings.

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On part 8 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the penultimate film in the countdown, the 2011 psychological crime thriller, based on the best-selling Swedish novel of the same name, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. Starring Rooney Mara as the titular computer-hacking girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisbeth Salander, and Daniel Craig as disgraced journalist, Mikael Blomqvist, hired by Christopher Plummer's, Henrik Vanger, an aging wealthy businessman who is haunted by his niece's disappearance from 40 years prior. The film opens with Blomqvist's conviction for libel against business magnate, Hans-Erik Wennerström, leaving his journalistic reputation and career in ruins. Soon after, Vanger hires Blomqvist as a final attempt to solve the mystery of his missing niece, Harriet, who disappeared from the remote Swedish island of their estate 40 years before the events of the film. As a part of this investigation, Blomqvist eventually must enlist the support of the mysterious computer-hacking woman, Salander, who (illegally) ran a background check on Blomqvist before Vanger hired him. However, Salander has (many) problems of her own, and ultimately both Blomqvist and Salander need each other to solve the mystery of Harriet Vanger's disappearance and to navigate a world bent on ostracizing and exploiting people like Salander. The countdown trio give their thoughts on Mara's eccentric performance, the mystery plot's effectiveness in telling an engrossing tale, and whether the themes of the violence against and exploitation of women are effective.
Welcome everyone to an all new, super palindrome episode of Some Like It Scott!

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On Part 7 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit David Fincher's team-up with acclaimed writer, Aaron Sorkin, in the 2010 biographical drama, THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Starring Jesse Eisenberg as real-life Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, THE SOCIAL NETWORK weaves the tale the social media platform's nascent days, recreating Zuckerberg's times at Harvard in the days leading to Facebook's conception, as well as its days as a developing exclusive platform for elite colleges, all interwoven with modern-day courtroom drama scenes in depositions and board rooms as both Zuckerberg's former best friend, Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), and his fellow Harvard students, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer and Armie Hammer), sue him over various allegations of unfair stock dilution and IP theft respectively. THE SOCIAL NETWORK is not simply the tale of the founding of the empire that is now Facebook, it also doubles as an intimate examination of Zuckerberg, and the film does not always paint one of the now-wealthiest men in the world in the kindest of lights, a light that may have been justified after Zuckerberg's near-pariah status over the last few years. Regardless, the countdown trio give their thoughts on whether the sumptuous combo of Fincher and Sorkin plays out effectively on the big screen, which of the performances is their favorites, and what Sorkin and Fincher's portrayal of Zuckerberg is and whether it's fair.

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On Part 6 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit what may arguably Fincher's furthest afield film, at least from his normal standards, that is of course the fantasy romantic drama, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. Starring Brad Pitt as a man aging in reverse and born on the eve of the end of World War I, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is an epic life-spanning tale exploring the simple concept of what it would be like if you lived your life's milestones in reverse. What if you looked the part of an aging veteran of life's trials and tribulations, but had in fact not weathered any of them? What if you arrived in your 20s with 50-60 years of life experience under your belt? What would it feel like to form close relationships with someone (see: Cate Blanchett's Daisy) who you would watch grow old as you stay young and even become a child? Fincher's sixth non-franchise outing tries to posit an answer to all those questions, all the while exploring (or at least trying to explore) complex emotional themes wrapped up in human life and the passage of time. The countdown trio give their thoughts on whether Fincher is successfully tells his epic story, whether the performances were worth their salt (particularly in the case of the film's two Oscar nominees, Pitt and Taraji P. Henson), and whether the film effectively explores its central themes.
Welcome everyone to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott!

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest limited series: the Fincher Countdown. Each week in the lead up to David Fincher's latest film, Mank, the two Scotts and countdown special guest, Jay Habib, will be working their way through most* of David Fincher's filmography in chronological order, starting from his non-franchise debut, the neo-noir psychological detective thriller, SEVEN, leading all the way to 2014's GONE GIRL. Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On Part 5 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay try to crack one of the most famous unsolved serial killer cases of all time in David Fincher's 2007 historically fictionalized true crime-esque mystery thriller, ZODIAC. Based on the hunt for the titular serial killer, who is believed to have murdered double-digit people up and down the California coast in the second half of the 20th century, ZODIAC follows the story of Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), a San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist in the late 60s and early 70s, who becomes obsessed with the Zodiac murders and the puzzles the killer anonymously sent to local newspapers. Graysmith's obsession is shared by the Chronicle's crime reporter Paul Avery (a pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr.), who pesters and prods the police's investigation, led by Inspector David Toschi (a pre-Hulk Mark Ruffalo). The police and the Chronicle butt heads on several occasions over the course of the investigation, as Fincher weaves an immensely engrossing tale filled with suspense and tension, even in the unlikeliest of places, as Graysmith's attempts to hunt down the Zodiac span more than a decade, two marriages, and likely several friendships. The countdown trio give their thoughts on one of the true crime genre's original critical successes, its all-star ensemble cast, and whether the film justifies its lengthy runtime.
Welcome everyone to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts finally return to one of the great past times of the podcast: reviewing Disney live action remakes. This time the live action remake of MULAN, directed by Niki Caro and starring Tifei Liu in the titular role. After giving their thoughts on whether this remake is worth its salt (like a certain Aladdin remake) or not (like a Dumbo), the two turn their attention to the recent news that Harry Styles has been cast to replace Shia Lebeouf on Olivia Wilde's next project and the ever-changing Warner Bros. release calendar after the box office returns of TENET.

3:16 - Mulan

On Part 4 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at what at least one Scott labels as David Fincher's most underrated film: the home invasion thriller starring Jodie Foster, PANIC ROOM. PANIC ROOM follows the lives of a recently separated mother, Meg (Foster), and her daughter, Sarah (Kristen Stewart), on the first evening in their newly purchased Upper West Side brownstone in Manhattan, when their new home is invaded by a trio of burglars, intent on finding millions of dollars in the floor safe of the luxurious apartment's panic room. The catch? Meg and Sarah are able to securely lock themselves in their new home's panic room, unknowingly with the floor safe, before the intruders are able to wrangle them. Unfortunately, the panic room's hardline phone had not yet been connected, and so the mother-daughter pair have no way of alerting the outside world to their dire situation. Forced to survive the night, as the intruders become progressively more agitated and inventive in trying to force them out, Meg and Sarah are forced to make some hard decisions, as their burglar counterparts have to deal with rising tensions of their own to avoid the theft falling apart. The countdown trio give their thoughts on Foster's and the supporting cast's performances, the film's success as a purely genre exercise, and whether this put Fincher back on track after two relative box office failures.

On Part 3 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at the film in David Fincher's catalog that has truly achieved "cult" status: his 1999 twisty psychological thriller, FIGHT CLUB. Best known for its infamous first rule and its archetypal toxic male, Tyler Durden, FIGHT CLUB stars Edward Norton as the unnamed insomniac narrator, who, after becoming disillusioned with the emasculating materialistic consumerism of his existence starts an underground fight club for men to get in touch with their emotions by beating each other to a pulp. Norton's narrator does this alongside Brad Pitt's Durden, a soap salesman who he meets on a business trip and who he makes fast friends with. It doesn't take long for Durden to show his true colors as a social anarchist, whose ambitions grow, forming a cult-like following of men to join a movement called Project Mayhem, a movement that is set on doing just what its title describes. All the while, Norton's narrator has to contend with his complicated relationship with Helena Bonham Carter's Marla, as well as his deteriorating psychological state. The countdown trio give their thoughts on the performances, this film's role in an ongoing conversation about toxic masculinity, and whether it's worthy of its now-cult status in the world of pop culture.
Welcome everyone to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts take time at the start of the podcast to talk about two emotional subjects, one positive and one negative, the first being the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman from Stage IV colon cancer at the young age of 43, and the second being that the two Scotts both returned to the theater this past weekend to see a film at least one Scott never thought would be released: Josh Boone's The New Mutants. After giving their thoughts on this long-gestating horror-lite X-Men movie, they turn their attention to a brief round of casting news, including new roles for Paul Mescal and Ethan Hawke. See time codes below:
2:49 - Chadwick Boseman, dead at 43
13:02 - Return to theaters

Welcome back everyone to the actual final part of the Nolan Countdown miniseries. The countdown trio has already concluded its rewatch of all 10 of Christopher Nolan's films to-date, and in the conclusion of the miniseries, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at the experience of watching all 10 films, and give their thoughts on how Nolan's filmmaking style, skill, and shortcomings have evolved over his two decade plus in Hollywood. After they each give their final words on Nolan, Scott and Jay share their hopes and expectations for Tenet.

On Part 2 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at one of the films in this countdown series that none of them have seen: David Fincher's follow-up in the thriller genre, THE GAME. THE GAME follows Michael Douglas's Nicholas van Orton, an ultra-wealthy investment banker, who is haunted by his father's suicide when he was a child and who is a loner as a result of his estranged relationship with his ex-wife, as well as his aloof brother, Conrad (Sean Penn). On Nicholas's 48th birthday, (not so) coincidentally the same birthday his father committed suicide on, Conrad presents his brother with a gift voucher, which serves as a free referral to a company, Consumer Recreation Services (CRS), that offers one service: a game. It is not at all clear what exactly the game is, but Conrad assures his brother that it'll change his life, as it has changed his own, and Nicholas begrudgingly gives it a shot. It quickly becomes clear that whatever the game is, it's not as innocent or free-spirited as Conrad had made it seem at the time, and soon enough, Nicholas is swept into the machinations of CRS and their game, trying to find his way to the bottom of the many mysteries, before he pays the price in his own life. The countdown trio give their thoughts on what is essentially Fincher's sophomore outing, and whether the successes he found in SEVEN are carried forward in his second twisty tale.
Welcome everyone to a brand new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's all new episode, the two Scotts discuss in great detail their first documentary of 2020 (ever on the podcast, maybe?), the A24-produced, Apple TV+-distributed documentary about over 1,000 teenage boys in Texas, tasked with forming their own government: Boys State. After giving their thoughts on the effectiveness of this particular iteration of documentary filmmaking, on the individuals explored in the film itself, and the film's key takeaways, they turn their attention to news coming out of Warner Bros. convention over the weekend, DC Fandome, as well as the news that Olivia Wilde has lined up yet another project, this time at Sony directing a Marvel film. See time codes below:

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest limited series: the Fincher Countdown.

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On Part 1 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the film catapulted David Fincher into the Hollywood limelight: the Morgan Freeman-led, Brad Pitt-supporting neo-noir psychological detective thriller, SEVEN. Set in a crime-ridden New York City in the final week of Detective William Somerset's (Morgan Freeman) career, the aging detective is dispatched to the scene of a gruesome homicide-by-overeating. Saddled with a hothead new partner, David Mills (Brad Pitt), the hunt for a murderer quickly becomes a hunt for a serial killer, as several more bodies pop up, all themed around the concept of the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy, and wrath. As Somerset puts his retirement on hold to crack this final case, he and Mills make for an interesting pair, and the former ultimately befriends the latter's wife (Gwyneth Paltrow), who confides in him a secret she's unsure whether to confess to her husband. Running short on time before their serial killer completes his seven murders, Somerset and Mills rush to chase down leads and find their suspect before the body count piles up. The countdown trio give their thoughts on Fincher's non-franchise debut, and whether his gritty, dark, and raw technique effectively juggles all the elements of a film as complex and twisty as Seven, as well as the quality of the performances from Freeman, Pitt, Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest limited series: Nolan Countdown. Each week in the lead up to Christopher Nolan's latest film, Tenet, the two Scotts and countdown special guest, Jay Habib, will be working their way through Christopher Nolan's full filmography in chronological order, starting from his humble beginnings making "budget" films like Following and Memento, all the way to his most recent days making mega-blockbusters like his Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk. This time, Jay Habib has actually seen these films (quite a few of them, quite a few times actually), but there will be fresh takes, crazy theories, and deep conversations about one of the most interesting auteur filmmakers of this generation all along the way. Join us each week!
On the final part of the Nolan Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Christopher Nolan's most recent film, 2017's war drama, Dunkirk. Taking place across three different perspectives - land, sea, and air - Dunkirk retells the story of the evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II in May and June of 1940. With the Allied forces of Great Britain and France on the run as the Germans march across France, they eventually reach the end of the road at Dunkirk. With their homes in sight but the English Channel between them, the English must attempt a daring evacuation of their troops, or face decimation at the hands of the Nazis. As always, it wouldn't be a Nolan movie without a time twist, and Dunkirk follows Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) and several other soldiers on the beaches of Dunkirk for the week leading up to the evacuation; Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance), Peter (Tom Glynn-Carney), and George (Barry Keoghan) in the English Channel for the day of the evacuation; and Farrier (Tom Hardy) and Collins (Jack Lowden) for the hour of the evacuation. What resulted was a film that many called a technical triumph of the highest order at the time it released, but does it hold up? And is there more to it than it just being a technical masterpiece? The countdown trio discuss all these topics and more in their final episode ahead of the release of Tenet this August (for now).

On the penultimate episode of the Nolan Countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Christopher Nolan's turn at an epic space opera in the form of 2014's Interstellar. Set in a near-future 2067 where Earth has been ravaged by crop blights and dust storms and humanity is only a generation or two away from extinction, Joseph Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is a widowed former NASA-pilot-turned-farmer and feels unfulfilled by his existence. He lives together with his father-in-law (John Lithgow) and his two children, Murph (Mackenzie Foy and later Jessica Chastain) and Tom (Timothee Chalamet and later Casey Affleck). One day after Cooper discovers a strange phenomenon in Murph's room, he decodes the geographical coordinates of a secret NASA facility working on the top secret Lazarus Project: an attempt to find a future home for humanity somewhere else in the universe. Led by one of Cooper's former mentors, Professor Brand (Michael Caine), the Lazarus Project is in its final stages of preparation for the Endurance spaceship to make its voyage to a wormhole near Saturn that should lead to another galaxy with potentially 3 planets viable to sustain human life. And Cooper is in luck because they're in need of a pilot of his quality. Torn between staying to protect his children and trying to find them a new home amongst the stars, Cooper ultimately chooses to join the mission, along with Professor Brand's daughter, Amelia (Anne Hathaway), and two other crew members, Romilly (David Gyasi) and Doyle (Wes Bentley). The Endurance's quartet will have to overcome years of travel and a new universe worth of threats to save humanity, all with the knowledge that if they fail, humanity may very well be doomed. The countdown trio discusses a plethora of topics, including the film's organ-centric score, its mix of practical and visual effects, its scientific accuracy, potentially career-best performances from McConaughey and Hathaway, and whether the themes Nolan's aspiring to explore are effectively covered.

On part 8 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at the finale to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy: The Dark Knight Rises. Set 8 years after the events of the Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises finds Gotham at a time of relative peace. Organized crime has been all but eradicated thanks to the Dent Act, passed in honor of the memory of Harvey Dent, after Gary Oldman's Jim Gordon and Christian Bale's Batman successfully hid the truth of what Dent had become by the end of The Dark Knight. Batman has disappeared, and Bruce Wayne has become a recluse, sulking in a rebuilt Wayne manor, continuing to mourn the death of his beloved Rachel, whom he believed was going to leave Dent for him, once he had hung up the suit. However, when Bruce discovers a cat-burglar, Selina Kyle, played by Anne Hathaway, trying to steal his fingerprints off his family safe, Bruce throws himself back into the action to uncover a plot that is much, much bigger in scale than any he has had to deal with before: that the mercenary-for-hire, Bane, played by Tom Hardy, has set up base in Gotham's sewer system and has something quite sinister in store for the city: to complete Ra's al Ghul's mission to destroy Gotham. In order to stop him, Bruce will need to don the batsuit one last time and team up with old and new allies alike in order to ensure Gotham's continued existence, overcome his own demons, and conclude the arc of Bruce Wayne / Batman. The countdown trio discusses a whole host of topics, including the technical aspects, the characters and performances, the action set pieces, and the evolution of certain themes over the course of the entire Dark Knight trilogy.

Join us each week!
On part 7 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at Christopher Nolan's first foray into science-fiction, with 2010's sci-fi thriller: Inception. Set in the near-future where the technology to infiltrate people's minds through their dreams has been developed and is used by powerful corporations as a form of corporate espionage, Leonardo DiCaprio's Dominick Cobb is an expert in "extraction", or the theft of confidential and personal information from people's minds. Cobb, however, has a dubious past, and is believed to have murdered his wife (Marion Cotillard), an accusation which has forced him to flee the US and his children. Using his unique talents and skill set, Cobb's goal is to find the job that will erase his past and reunite him with his family. After a failed job in Japan, Cobb is confronted by his target, Saito (Ken Watanabe), and is left with an ultimatum: do one final job for Saito in exchange for free passage back to the US and his family, or be left to fend for himself against an angry former employer and continue to try to find his own path back to the US and his family. The catch? This is no simple job. Saito demands that Cobb perform "inception" (i.e., plant an idea in a target's mind), a feat that is believed by nearly everyone, except Cobb, to be impossible. The target is Robert Fischer, the sone of a wealthy rival CEO on his deathbed. Fischer is poised to take control of his father's empire, and Saito would much prefer it if he were to organically decide to disband his father's company rather than to carry on his legacy. For inception to work, Cobb must assemble a team to infiltrate deep enough into the mind of Fischer and in an intricate enough manner for Fischer to believe the idea is his own. Cobb's team includes his partner, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt); a novice architect, Ariadne (Ellen Page); a forger, Eames (Tom Hardy); a chemist, Yusuf (Dileep Rao); and Saito himself. However, none of these individuals are entirely aware of how dangerous this mission will be or the secrets that Cobb may be keeping from them, and naturally, things go wrong almost immediately once the mission has begun. The countdown trio discusses everything you could possibly imagine about this movie and more, including its technical aspects, the characters and performances, the plot and numerous themes, and yes, its controversial ending, with one co-host offering that maybe the "answer" to the question doesn't even matter.

After discussing in depth about Delroy Lindo's standout performance, whether the epic narrative and themes told about black Vietnam War veterans, and a multitude of other things, the co-hosts then discuss several recent announcements coming out of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences for both next year's ceremony (delayed to April) and future ceremonies (10 Best Picture nominees and diversity and inclusion requirements), before capping things off talking about the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, Dear Evan Hansen.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest limited series: Nolan Countdown. Each week in the lead up to Christopher Nolan's latest film, Tenet, the two Scotts and countdown special guest, Jay Habib, will be working their way through Christopher Nolan's full filmography in chronological order, starting from his humble beginnings making "budget" films like Following and Memento, all the way to his most recent days making mega-blockbusters like his Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk. This time, Jay Habib has actually seen these films (quite a few of them, quite a few times actually), but there will be fresh takes, crazy theories, and deep conversations about one of the most interesting auteur filmmakers of this generation all along the way. Join us each week!
On part 6 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at what some (maybe even many) consider the greatest superhero film of all-time: Christopher Nolan's sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Set roughly a year after the events of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight sees Christian Bale return as the caped crusader, who continues the fight - alongside Gary Oldman's Jim Gordon and the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) - against organized crime in Gotham. With the mob's backs against the wall, Gotham's crime families turn to an upstart criminal mastermind, played by Heath Ledger and known simply as The Joker, who makes them an offer they simply can't refuse: an offer to kill Batman, in exchange for half of the mob's money. As a self-proclaimed agent of chaos, Joker begins to wreak absolute havoc across the city, in an attempt to make Batman turn himself in and reveal his true identity. Bale's Bruce Wayne has other ideas, however, and with the help of Gordon, Dent, Alfred (Michael Caine), Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), and a re-cast Rachel Dawes (now Maggie Gyllenhaal), Batman must juggle stopping The Joker, putting the mob behind bars, and his own personal identity as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. The countdown trio discusses more topics than ever this time around, including whether Ledger's turn as The Joker is an all-time great villain performance (not to mention whether this rendition of The Joker is the all-time best character as well), how good that score is from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, the multitude of themes present throughout the film, and a load of other topics that you won't want to miss.

On part 5 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay take a look back at Christopher Nolan's 2006 ~magical~ psychological thriller, The Prestige. Starring Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman as two rival magicians - the more working-class Borden and the more aristocratic Angier respectively - in late-19th century London, The Prestige follows the two magicians' careers, first as fellow apprentices of John Cutter, a renowned stage ingenieur played by Michael Caine. However, when one of their usual magic tricks goes wrong, Angier's wife is unable to escape the water tank used as part of the trick and drowns. Angier blames Borden for his wife's death, as he believes Borden tied a more complicated knot around her wrists, and the two become bitter rivals. What follows is a series of escalating tricks, one-ups, and showdowns with costs and outcomes that are constantly rising, all of which leads to a finale with a twist that has come to be expected from a more experimental Nolan film, like this one. With a supporting cast of Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie, and Andy Serkis to complement Bale, Jackman, and Caine, The Prestige weaves a narrative that ultimately comes down to its ending, its prestige, and the countdown trio give their thoughts on all the technical aspects, the performances, the characters, and yes, the twist ending.

On part 4 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the first entry in what would eventually become Christopher Nolan's trilogy of Batman films: the 2005 superhero film Batman Begins. Batman Begins at the time was a fresh take on the origin story of Bruce Wayne, Gotham's famous caped crusader, portrayed by Christian Bale, as he goes on a 7-year odyssey to find himself and his calling, 14 years after the double-murder of his parents by a street thug named Joe Cool in a back alley of Gotham. Bruce's odyssey takes him to the far reaches of the mountains of Bhutan in South Asia, where he finds and trains with the mysterious organization called The League of Shadows, only to question and rebel against their plan to destroy Gotham, which has become too corrupt to save by their measure. The remainder of Batman Begins sees Bruce return to his hometown of Gotham and to his butler, Alfred, played by Micheal Caine, and resolves himself to fighting mafia kingpin, Carmine Falcone, played by Tom Wilkinson, using his newly learned tactics and trainings, a brand new vigilante identity, and some sweet new tools, thanks to Wayne Enterprises's R&D division and Morgan Freeman's Lucius Fox. Batman won't be able to take down Falcone, as well as new-on-the-scene fear-mongerer, Scarecrow, played by Cillian Murphy, alone, and will require the help of Alfred; Fox; his childhood friend and love interest, Rachel Dawes, played by Katie Holmes; and Gary Oldman's James Gordon, one of the few incorruptible Gotham City police officers. The countdown trio give their thoughts on how well Nolan's initial take on Batman holds up, the evolving technical aspects of his filmmaking, and whether the performances and the set pieces of Batman Begins continue to improve.

On part 3 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit what some people consider to be one of the most mainstream or "straightforward" films in Nolan's oeuvre (maybe a final proof-point to show the major film studios that they can trust him with hundreds of millions of dollars and a high-value IP, like say Batman): Insomnia, the 2002 psychological detective thriller American remake of a 1997 Norwegian film. Nolan has the significant talent of Oscar-winning Al Pacino, Oscar-winning Robin Williams, and Oscar-winning Hilary Swank at his disposal, and makes use of them respectively as Will Dormer, a troubled veteran LAPD detective on loan to a small fishing town called Nightmute, Alaska to help solve the murder of a local teen; Walter Finch, a reclusive, local Alaskan writer who the murdered teen had a secret relationship with; and Ellie Burr, a youthful, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed local detective who idolizes Pacino's Dormer. As with all Nolan films, however, there's a catch, as Dormer slowly sinks into delirium due to the insomnia that he suffers while in Nightmute, thanks to the perpetual daylight there during the summer, as well as the guilt he suffers from an event that happens early on in the movie. Wrestling with both his sanity, his guilt over past actions, and the murderer of a dead teenage girl, Nolan sends Pacino's Dormer on a conflicted manhunt of Williams's Finch that sees Nolan experiment with action set pieces for the first time, while still exploring darker themes of morality and the blurred line of right and wrong. The countdown trio give their thoughts on the central trio of performances, how successful Nolan's first true action set pieces were, and whether the technical aspects of this film work as effectively as they might have in his previous film.

On part 2 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit (or in one Scott's case, visit for the first time) the film that put Christopher Nolan well and truly on the map as a director: Memento. Released two years after his debut outing, Memento shows Nolan in a slightly more refined light, telling the neo-noir psychological thriller story of Guy Pearce's Leonard, a man who has anterograde amnesia (a.k.a., short-term memory loss) and is unable to form any new memories after the traumatic head injury he received while trying to fend off several home intruders, who ultimately rape and murder his wife. After the loss of his wife and his short-term memory, Leonard devotes his life to finding the man responsible, the ambiguous "John G", and tracks his own progress by leaving reminders and notes to himself in the form of tattoos and scraps of paper. Memento is more than just your run-of-the-mill psychological thriller though, as Nolan chooses to tell the story in the form of two dueling narratives: a black-and-white one that progresses forward through time from the start of the film and one in color that moves backward from its end, ultimately meeting in the middle for a well and truly grand finale. The countdown trio give their detailed thoughts on Guy Pearce's lead performance, the morally ambiguous characters Nolan crafts, and how well Nolan's storytelling and themes actually hold up when all is said and done.
Welcome everyone to a brand new episode of Some Like It Scott! On this week's episode, the two Scotts take a stab at the 2020 musical remake (sequel?) Valley Girl to 1980s hit: Valley Girl.

Hello everyone and welcome to Some Like It Scott's latest limited series: Nolan Countdown. Each week in the lead up to Christopher Nolan's latest film, Tenet, the two Scotts and countdown special guest, Jay Habib, will be working their way through Christopher Nolan's full filmography in chronological order, starting from his humble beginnings making "budget" films like Following and Memento, all the way to his most recent days making mega-blockbusters like his Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk.

Join us each week!
On the first part of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay generate a first impression of the oft overlooked first film from Christopher Nolan: Following. Shot in black-and-white and made on the most shoestrings of budgets for a meager $6,000, Christopher Nolan made his mark on the festival scene in 1998 with his first pass at a neo-noir crime drama (it's possible that he might have made another a few years later). Split across several different timelines, Following follows the nameless "Young Man" (Jeremy Theobald) as he sinks into a life of petty crime after meeting a serial burglar, named Cobb (Alex Haw). As he falls deeper into the lifestyle, Following shows an early Nolan tinkering with and refining his now-famous bag of tricks in a story full of twists and turns and then even more turns, all in a tight 69 minutes. The countdown trio give their thoughts on Nolan's first outing as director, the story, the characters, the performances, and the twists, and talk about how Following sets the stage in interesting (and on-the-nose) ways for what Nolan will do in the future.

Hello Schmoedown fans, and welcome to Some Like It Scott and the Media Plug Podcast's Network's prediction special for the 2019 Ultimate Schmoedown Singles Tournament! The first match may already have released, but rest assured, this episode of the podcast was live streamed before either Scott had seen it, evidenced by the fact that one of them picked the winner incorrectly! (Haha, what an idiot...)

Welcome back for a brand new episode of Some Like It Scott! The two Scotts are back from their brief summer hiatus, and are already back in the flow of things, as they review the late-summer Linklater comedy-drama, Where'd You Go, Bernadette.

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Some Like It Scott. It's an episode that is long, long overdue back from Oscar season, but the two Scotts are finally coming good and discussing a movie, picked by the listener who won the Some Like It Scott Oscar ballot competition: Jeremy Rubel. Jeremy chose a classic, All About Eve, and so he and the two Scotts dissect the iconic 1951 Mankiewicz black and white film, from its performances, to its plot, and finally to its (maybe now controversial) themes. After finishing their discussion of the film, Jeremy gets to answer 10 questions related to his movie preferences before wrapping up the episode. See time codes below:

The two Scotts are joined by Jay Habib for a different kind of episode than usual: a look-back at the first 11 years of the MCU, now known as the Infinity Saga.
