Gladiator II (2024)

We’ve arrived at the end of January with an episode we actually recorded not long after the movie was released in theaters. This marks the end of a month of 5 DIRECTORS and the last of SIR RIDLEY SCOTT’S LAST FOUR and it stays historical with a sequel to his Oscar winning smash hit from over 20 years ago. Hanno, like anyone who isn’t Roman, hates Rome. They killed his wife and, as a child, pretty much abandoned him but just like a certain predecessor this natural leader finds himself on the slave end of a gladiator cage where he must bite the baboon and fight to the death towards his freedom and perhaps more. We’re talking about none other than “GLADIATOR II” starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington. It has it’s flaws, maybe a few unintentional laughs, but it’s also a good time at the movies so hear us out as we break it down. How does it compare with Ridley’s other recent fare? At the point of this recording, the hosts didn’t know but now? Now we all know. Actually, as this is written, they don’t know but as you read it it will be known. The future knows and what fun it will be when the future becomes the now. Now being as you’re reading it right now. Remember the past? This recording was the past. We looked to the future. That future is now right now. What future are we looking to right now? Are you not entertained?
