In the summer of 2023, Greg began a year-long campaign to do an episode on Gladiator. No, not the Oscar-winning 2000 historical drama... the 1992 Brian Dennehy/Cuba Gooding Jr boxing movie that no one remembers. And as hard as Liz tried to explain to him that no one wanted to listen to a podcast about a movie with a 31% approval rating, he remained steadfast that "there was something there." She finally conceded on the grounds they cover both movies, which brings us to this weeks episode. We hope you enjoy as we discuss the movies, the themes, the trailer for Gladiator 2 and why men love watching people bash each other's faces in no matter what the century.
