"Father, Son, and the House of Gucci"
On this week's episode, Simon and John discuss the penultimate entry in the Ridley Scott filmography (at least, until Gladiator 2 comes out), and chat his second 2021 release: HOUSE OF GUCCI, starring Adam Driver and Lady Gaga. We discussed the immaculate costuming and prop work, funky needle drops, and Jared Leto's hall of fame Gallagheresque performance as Paolo Gucci. Before this, we did the usual rundown of news and what we watched this week.
We're away for the rest of the month, but we will return in September to talk NAPOLEON.
