Some Like It Scott

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to the English languages, and the rather dour themes of the film, the co-hosts turn their attention to give another outdated awards update regarding this year’s guild nominees, as well as discuss the news that Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia film with Netflix will be receiving a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

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! On this episode, we teleport you back to December, when the two Scotts recorded an episode talking all about the Lord of the Rings franchise’s return to animation - and first foray into anime - with the Kenji Kamiyama-directed, LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM. After discussing whether this adaptation lives up to the live action entries, the English voice cast including the likes of Brian Cox, and the world-building of Middle Earth, the co-hosts turn their attention to news of a live action remake of TANGLED, as well as Luca Guadagnino taking a pass at a “new adaptation” (definitely not a remake) of AMERICAN PSYCHO with Austin Butler in the lead role.

Hello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! Continuing with another episode we recorded in late November last year, the two Scotts review GLADIATOR 2, Ridley Scott’s nearly two-and-a-half decades in the making sequel to his Best Picture winning film. After discussing whether the film lives up to its predecessor, the quality of performances from the likes of Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, and whether Ridley Scott still has the action set piece juice, the co-hosts give a meaty awards update that would’ve been way more interesting to listen to back in early December.

Hello everyone and welcome to an all new episode of Some Like It Scott! Delving into the catalogue of episodes we recorded last year to only post now, the two Scotts are starting with the Thanksgiving premiere of one of the biggest domestic movies of the year: WICKED PART 1. After discussing Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the world of Oz, and the music and themes, the co-hosts turn their attention to talk about a now quite dated story of Charlize Theron being cast in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film (at the time we didn’t know it was an adaptation of THE ODYSSEY and were very confused why all these big name actresses were signing on for a helicopter film), before discussing JJ Abrams’ upcoming under-wraps project.
