627. House of Gucci (2021)

<November 2021>

*The Warlock is sitting at his latop after finishing a Skype call with Mr. Wallstreet when he hears Heart of Glass by Blondie coming from the TV*

W: Woah, haven’t heard THAT in a while.

*Neyzor Blades is in the recliner watching TV*

N: Its a trailer for some movie coming out.

W: What is it?

N: Something called House of Gucci.

W: Of all the songs they use, they use Heart of Glass?

N: Wasn’t my choice.

*Warlock puts on the trailer on his laptop and watches it*

W: Hmmmm, interesting. Maybe I’ll give it a look some day.

<PRESENT DAY>

*Warlock is putting a DVD into the player*

N: What the hell are we watching now?

W: Remember that movie that came out in November in theaters called House of Gucci?

N: Yeah, what about it?

W: Mr. Wallstreet sent it to me. I wanted to watch it with you.

N: It looked stupid though.

W: I don’t know, there’s something about it that piqued my interest.

N: Whatever.

*Warlock turns to the camera*

W: So in case you haven’t guessed, tonight’s movie will be the 2021 drama HOUSE OF GUCCI. Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons star in the story of Gucci. Its supposed to be based on true events but since I don’t give a rats ass about fashion, I don’t know the story. The trailer looked interesting, especially with Blondie’s Heart of Glass as its theme song but let’s see if this can hold up for 2 hours and 38 minutes. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for HOUSE OF GUCCI.

*Warlock reads the tag-line*

W: “When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel their legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately…murder.”

N: Murder??
