For this week’s second podcast review, I am joined by Sara Clements, Giovanni Lago & Brendan Hodges to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-nominated director Ridley Scott, “Gladiator II,” starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn & Fred Hechinger. A highly-anticipated sequel to his Oscar Best Picture-winning 2000 film “Gladiator,” Scott has transported audiences back to Ancient Rome once again, but what did we think of it? Tune in as we discuss the direction, writing, performances, action, nostalgia-baiting, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
