Episode 124: Ridley Scott Watch Series #22: EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS (2014)

LET MY PEOPLE GO! We continue our Ridley Scott Watch Series this week on the podcast by discussing his 2014 big budget adaptation of the Book of Exodus—EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS. Cards on the table: we weren't big fans of the film, but we went over some of the reasons why it didn't work for us, along with some of the things we did like. Before that, we did our usual discussion of news of the week and what we watched. Next week, we'll be flying to space to discuss THE MARTIAN.
