ST Presents: The Progenitor - Films

Another Comic Book Classic...Another Adaptation. Is it a hit or a miss? Find out as I discuss Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" adaptation. SPOILER ALERT!

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

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

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

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

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

Do you enjoy a good Kidnapping yarn? Do you love rich people getting what they deserve, especially if they're dicks? Do you ever wonder how billionaires stay billionaires? Have you ever been to the Getty Museum of even the Getty Villa? If you said yes to at least one of these, then you will have a ball watching our next movie, "All the Money in the World." My only complaint about this movie is that Mark Wahlberg looks like he's sleep walking through this movie hoping it would be his next Oscar project. Guess what...it wasn't.

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

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

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

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