GLADIATOR (2000)

Monday Nov 11, 2024

Monday Nov 11, 2024

It's SEASON NINE, bros! And we're kicking it off by diving into the sweatiest, the manliest, the most live tiger-y movie of Y2K -- that's right, it's time to take our chances in the ring with Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR! Obviously we're preparing for what can only be described as Alex & Steph's Personal Superbowl, GLADIATOR II (which we WILL be covering when it comes out!) -- but we also discuss the difficulty of having a psychopathic pain-in-the-ass for a family member, the absurdly effective longevity of practical affects, and, of course, what animal we think WE could beat in a Colosseum battle!

Considering that we sometimes can barely get through a recording making sense in English, you may be surprised to learn that The Bros do enjoy quite a few international movies!
