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!

An Academy Academy Classic. Enjoy!
Aaron Sorkán. Kevin Lomax: Swamp Attorney. Gilbert Gottfried as Al Pacino as Lt. Vincent Hanna. Mr. Bean. The Stalker/Gigli Double Feature. Rock & Roll Poets. What Is Art? Why Make Things? All this is covered, perhaps even answered, on this week's delightful episode of The Academy Academy with special guest Evan Cox (I'm Enjoying My Time Here! The How Do We Human Podcast!). Make sure to listen to the very end, so you can hear Evan Cox's "Marigold" and maybe a lil' somethin else...
NOTE: Towards the end of the pod, there's a little crying (from a very cool baby) here and there. I edited out as much as I could. Apologies, even though personally I do think it adds a bit of much-needed gritty 70s New York realism that's missing from current-day podcasts ❤.

For Don's Birthday episode, we discuss the oeuvre of German filmmaker Christian Petzold on this week's The Academy Academy.
Petzold's work often deals with the ramifications and fallout of Germany's recent past. The East German Paranoid Police State. A Post-War Germany whose national psyche mirrors its crumbling edifices. A world seemingly going through the motions of our past in what looks like our present.
Who gets to escape? How do you live in a world so thoroughly mired in acts of evil and atrocity? How do you prevent the past from repeating itself? Is that even possible?
This is Great Art, folks. Do yourself a favor: watch the films first, then give this ep a listen.
