Are you not entertained? If so, feel free to leave us a 5* review - but we digress. Join your favourite Transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam - to review our second Best Picture winner to date in Ridley Scott's 2000 Roman war epic, Gladiator. We're joined once again by our permaguests, Ellie & Georgia to discuss the movie that single-handedly revived the 'sword & sandles genre. It's a 12th episode full of strength & honour as we discuss:
- Just how problematic was the writing process for this film?
- Which actor refused to learn his new dialogue
- Who on the cast begged Russell Crowe to rough him up before big scenes
- Which piece of the score seemingly showed up in another box office smash just years later
- Who on the cast the producers counted on as an expert to preserve historical authenticity
- Who was the first choice for Maximus?
- If "Gladiator is the Best Film Ever?
