Gladiator II (2024) [aka Badiator Poo]
Manage episode 452993231 series 3408640
Midley Scott, Didley Squat, call him what you want. But the important thing is that he's still out there delivering consistent 2-3 star bores. And that means something. Show him so goddamned respect.
GLADIATOR II is here and we are not unlike the cheering crowds in the coliseum... thirsty for bloodshed and desperate to be entertained. And were we not entertained? Well no not particularly. This sequel 24 years in the making doesn't capture the magic of the original (a film neither Alex nor Ben really liked in the first place). But Denzel Washington is in this one and he's having fun and we really do love to see it. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal... well they're here too.
Sleigh bells ring and we're listening, new franchise time and it's glistening. That's right, it''s December now so we're celebrating the holidays with a certified Christmas classic (followed by a series of increasingly less classic sequels). Join us next week for HOME ALONE!
