We're finally here, folks. Your favorite Berengerian Candidates are back to discuss a Unified Theory of Scott, dole out awards, and definitively rank all 27 Ridley Scott films. 

Should David be allowed to dream biggerest? Should they make a sequel to Black Rain starring a nearly 80-year-old Michael Douglas? Remember Josh Brolin in American Gangster?

Join Don & Pat, as they finish the journey and ascend to Elysium on this week's The Academy Academy!

We're taking a break from our various miniseries within miniseries to visit a side of town filled with riches and wonders... the Dafoe District! Is there a Secret Service agent more unhinged than Richard Chance? Do protagonist monikers get any better than Buck McGriff and Albaby Perkins? Is purifying violence the cheesy goop in a Paul Schrader Cheesy Gordita Crunch? This ep is a banger, folks. Slowly inch away from the guy only wearing underpants monologuing at you about Anselm and give this a listen instead!

The Academy Academy is back, folks! A new ep! A new day! We cover All the Money in the World and reexamine House of Gucci, as we head towards the finale of our longest podcast project. We discuss the controversies and meme-ification surrounding both features and determine the overarching themes that permeate Ridley Scott's oeuvre. Have we reached a Unified Theory of Ridley Scott? Are we slowly turning into the cinema podcaster equivalent of that It's Always Sunny pic of Charlie w/ the conspiracy board? Who knows? Who cares? Enter the Wonkaverse and enjoy!
