The Doofcast

Ridley Scott's follow-up to his award-winning Thelma & Louise is... a terrible Christopher Columbus movie. Lame. We talk about  1492: Conquest of Paradise and why exactly this movie just doesn't work and what that means for our understanding of Ridley Scott.

Then, we watched the first three episodes of Obi-Wan and have some thoughts.  

Also, Scott saw Top Gun: Maverick!
