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.

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.
