Summary
<p>Kelsi and Trey are joined by The Ringer's Sean Fennessey of The Big Picture podcast to dive into the career of Ridley Scott, one of cinema’s most prolific and visionary directors. With Gladiator II releasing wide this week, we revisit Scott’s genre-defining works—Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus, among others—and explore his ability to transform blockbuster IP into ambitious epics. We discuss whether Scott belongs in the same tier as greats like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, his reputation for “style over substance,” the impact of his controversial Alien prequels, and the modern filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve who’ve carried his influence forward.</p>
