S3E31. Gladiator II Trailer Breakdown | Listener Request

The Movies

Two years ago, I fulfilled a listener request from my friend Resa to review Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR (Season 1, Episode 37). It only makes sense, then, her next request was for me to talk about the trailer for GLADIATOR II! I love Ridley Scott flicks and this trailer hints towards another notch in the belt of successes for one of our greatest living directors. It's messy; it's violent; it's chockful of character actors entrenched in soapy political drama and fisticuffs (swordicuffs? stabisodes? I digress.) So in order to fulfill this request, I break down the trailer and also discuss the original bonkers idea Scott, star Russell Crowe and legendary musician/screenwriter? Nick Cave had to bring Maximus back from the dead! --- Follow The Movies on: Twitter - @themovies_pod Instagram - @themoviespod End Music: "No Church in the Wild" Jay-Z & Kanye West
