"...When enough men have died, perhaps you will have your freedom..." On this episode: Oliver Reed's real life legendary ending. Technical mistakes in a giant epic. The "conquered" are really the heroes. Incredible cast bringing this epic to life. Oliver Reed's death during production. Briefly, our love for Ridley Scott's films. Our opinion after re-watching this film from 2000. Dragged into Hell with this movie called Cats. Halle Berry's Cat-Woman. Kevin Smith's Shared Universe of Kevin Smith. Back in the day, in 2000, they released an epic movie following or succeeding rather in the tradition of all the great sword and sandal motion pictures like The Robe, Spartacus, and Ben-Hurr... We're talking about GLADIATOR "Gladiator is a 2000 epic historical drama directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson When fallen Roman general, Maximus (Russell Crow) is betrayed and his family murdered by a corrupt prince (Joaquin Phoenix), he survives as a gladiator and plots revenge.
