A Week With: Brad Pitt (F1 The Movie)

Brad Pitt’s back in the driver’s seat! So with F1: The Movie landing on Apple TV+ this weekend, Film Dogs is back with another instalment of “A Week With.”
Not a Top 10. Not a ranking spiral. Just seven nights on the couch, celebrating the movies that explain the whole creature that is Brad Pitt.
We’ll admit one obvious staple: Se7en is in. The rest? Classified… because suspense is good for the soul and terrible for your group chat.
Also inside: takes guaranteed to start a comment fire - Guy Ritchie’s Pride & Prejudice, Cliff Booth vs Bruce Lee, and Lord Marcus calmly warning anyone who thinks The Last Jedi is a good film.
Full Pitt list revealed in the episode. Bring snacks. Bring arguments. Bring beers.
Follow us and jump into the chaos below.

A Week With: Sir Ridley Scott

Lord Marcus and Mr. B kick off a brand-new Film Dogs series: “A Week With” – seven films that we would use to introduce someone to a filmmaker, not a strict “best of” or ranked top 7. Think of it as spending seven nights on the couch with one of cinema’s greats and asking, “Who is this person, really?”
To launch the series, we’re starting big: Sir Ridley Scott. Across seven movies we talk about the worlds he builds, the way he shoots bodies and battlefields, his obsession with shoot first fix it later… and which iconic titles we controversially leave out of the line-up. You won’t believe what’s left in and what’s taken out.
 
Follow along with our Ridley Scott week, tell us your seven-film line-up.

2025 Oscars: Live Commentary and Reactions

For your pleasure and for something a little different, in this episode Lord Marcus and Mr. B offer their live thoughts and reactions during a watch-along of this year's Oscars ceremony. 
Mr. B sets off Lord Marcus by claiming to have inspired his love of Adrien Brody's performance in The Brutalist and Lord Marcus shares his anti-love of Ben Stiller.  We show some love to the winners and their speeches.  For a deeper dive, our last episode is a good look into who the Film Dogs wanted to win on the big night. The rants are too many to count but this was fun episode indeed. 
The conversation has been heavily edited to get rid of the extended ad breaks and silence and have left you with the meat and potatoes of the night.  Enjoy!

Also included, Mr B. gives you a tip for ordering at restaurants and gives musical ode to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Lord Marcus rants around the controversial use of AI in film making, the ridiculousness of the "us vs. them" mentality, why we excluded but still applaud specific films in our Oscar discussion, and of course... 30 Seconds to Mars...?
