What's your favorite movie villain? And what MAKES a character a villain, rather than an antagonist, a monster, an obstacle, etc.?
On today's episode, Alex welcomes guest-host-with-the-most, Lukas Arnold! Lukas is an actor, comedian, content creator, and movie lover. You can catch him on Wild n' Out, over on his podcast, Two Nosy Meerkats, or on TikTok and Instagram @LukasTArnold!

GLADIATOR II (2024)

Grab your leather skirts and get ready to fight an array of historically inaccurate but AWESOME beasts n' monsters, because its time to get in the ring to discuss Ridley Scott's sweaty, sandy followup, GLADIATOR II!
Along the way we discuss what makes a well-justified sequel, the SHOCKING script that almost was, and, of course, the slutty slutty width of Pedro Pascal's shoulders.

WICKED (2024)

What is This Feeling? I think its... the need to chit chat! Quick, we only have One Short Day to head to Dear Old Shiz and discuss the immensely Popular (and overwhelmingly amazing) WICKEEEEED!
On the way we discuss our complicated relationships with musical theater, the almost absurd magnetism of Jonathan Bailey, and all that's to come in Act II next year.

GLADIATOR (2000)

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!
