Hello Hello Hello!

In this new episode, we discuss two films -- "Gladiator 2" and "Megalopolis" -- directed by two stalwarts of Hollywood cinema -- Ridley Scott and Francis Ford Coppola -- that embody two different filmmaking ethos.

Gladiator 2 is the quintessential Hollywood sequel to the 2000 film "Gladiator," winner of the "Best Picture" Academy Award that year. It's bigger, safer, and same-r -- directed by a filmmaker whose content on speedrunning through his filmmaking process to get the studio product out as soon as possible.

"Megalopolis," on the other hand, is a self-funded multi-million dollar passion project, mulled over for 20-odd years by its maker, and made with the sort of bonkers sensibility only an old man who made "Apocalypse Now" can have.

Is one better than the other? Or do both succumb to different kinds of auteuritis?
