430 - Gladiator II
from Eavesdropping at the Movies Hosted by Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass
Ridley Scott returns to Gladiator after more than twenty years, telling a story that's broadly the same, but neatly picks up from the original too. Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal in the central role, and we discuss whether he has the movie star charisma to match his indie film credentials; we also talk action, visual effects, Denzel Washington's Iago figure, the trope of the gay villain, and more. Recorded on 15th November 2024.
