00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.359
Hi, everyone, Tony from Hack
the Movies here and today we're gonna talk

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:08.119
about Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Does it
still hold up? Is it still one

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.800
of like the best action movies and
period pieces? Ever? Let's find out

4
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:23.879
before they've ruined it with a pointless
sequel talking about tapes. And today I'm

5
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.800
here with uh, what what is
your name? Sir? My mom is

6
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:40.039
Francesco Rocco Vincent Volpi Jr. Co
Host on an Awesome Show, actor on

7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:47.280
Fantastic Movies. Hey, Tony,
how you doing it? Frank? Because

8
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.119
I'm not here to get my revenge, I guess I will get my awards,

9
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.320
So Frank, how are you?
I'm fantastic Tony, long time to

10
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.560
see. Yeah, that's beautiful hair
you have. Sorry, I had to

11
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.400
fix the yea. That helmet really
just yeah, I'm really debated if I

12
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.280
keep this thing on the whole time. It's kidding, all right? Right

13
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.840
before we did this, we I've
never taken this out of the bag.

14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.280
It smelt so strong. He's lying. He wears it all the time.

15
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.640
It stick. I will once it's
broken in. I will be wearing this

16
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.040
all the time because I feel pretty
awesome right now that was that legit what

17
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.439
they wore back in the day or
is that the spirit Halloween? That's probably

18
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.680
spirit. Yes, this movie is
not the most accurate, which I will

19
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.519
touch on not too much because I
don't really care about the accuracies. I

20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.040
will mention it at the end because
that's a movie. I do want to

21
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.719
see the real life story. But
yes, Gladiator to bring it back,

22
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:52.040
dude, let's not go to We'll
talk about that. Yeah, talk about

23
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.159
that. Don't just start us on
a high and then bring it straight down.

24
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.799
No one's really good though, with
all these pointless sequels that they've been

25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.239
doing, I do knows some of
them might be good. Okay, not

26
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.000
all of them are, some of
them might be good. I've been doing

27
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.400
episodes where I go back to the
originals, like like Indiana Jones. The

28
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.159
New Indiana Jones awful, worst Indiana
Jones movie was a joke of a movie.

29
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.199
Yeah, a complete garbage check it
out. But then I rewatched the

30
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.280
first three for the show, and
I'm like, wow, you know what,

31
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.879
I probably wouldn't came back to these
if they didn't make that new piece

32
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.280
of shit. Yeah, and I
did, so really it's a good thing.

33
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.000
Yeah, the same thing with a
with a Wonka. You see that

34
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.000
horrible Wonka prequel? Did see the
trailer? Yes, with a few grant

35
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.439
yes. Because Peter Dankliche has put
so many little people out of work,

36
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.599
they must have paid him a lot
of money. Yeah. I went back

37
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.360
and I shot a review for Willy
Wonka the original. I'm like, well,

38
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.360
I really liked this movie. And
that's what we're doing here today,

39
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.960
revisiting glad Eater, just like how
we did the Batman movies, and then

40
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.960
we went to watch the Flash and
we were like, it's just still great.

41
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.400
This is great. Yes, it's
Gladiator now, not the Gladiator starring

42
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.960
Cuba Good and Junior and James from
Twin Peaks. There's probably someone right now

43
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.960
going finally someone's talking about Gladiator with
Cuba Good and Junior. Cuba, I

44
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.719
apologize, it's the other Gladiator.
That's how. That's what people call beater

45
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.439
one, isn't it. But now
when this came out, people called it

46
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.319
that, oh, that other Gladiator. Yeah, it's not the right tape.

47
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:16.479
I don't even know the other Gladiator. No, I know, it's

48
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.319
it's okay. It's an okay movie. I think it's about it's about boxing.

49
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.039
Do I look like a young Russell
Crowe? You look like a young

50
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.479
Russell Crowe? Yes, you have
more hair than a young Russell crow shave

51
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.879
my beard to look just like does
Russell Crowe look like a Spaniard? Doesn't

52
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:37.719
have an accent for it? I
okay, okay. So you went to

53
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.919
Italy recently? Yes? Yes,
sir? How was it so? I

54
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.759
didn't go to the Kyle Sam.
I went down south. You've been there

55
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.479
before, though, been there before. I've been to the Call Sam before.

56
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.400
My friend who medicine sicily did stop
by the Kyle Sam the other week,

57
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.800
and he did learn from one of
the dressed up They have a lot

58
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.159
of dressed up guys around the Kyle
Sam. Uh, like you know,

59
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:04.120
old school Sam warrior Roman warriors.
Uh. And he said that there where

60
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.520
they used to, you know,
do the kill or live thumb. Yeah,

61
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.039
it was actually they never did that. That didn't exist. It would

62
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.800
be the sheathing of the sword,
yeah, which meant which meant like,

63
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.839
you know, like pulling it out, yeah, or it was the something

64
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.759
else, but sheathing of the sword
and coming across meant like death. Yeah.

65
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.319
And I remember someone said it was
like sideways they're there. Yeah,

66
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.279
there's whatever's in the movie isn't the
right way. But that was like a

67
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.879
big thing an old glad eater movies. It was for modern audiences would understand

68
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.279
it more. Yeah, I mean, which a lot of this movie is.

69
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.399
Yeah, so I mean, nothing
like the college Sam existed. The

70
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.680
certain you know people, historical figures
from you know, from history existed,

71
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.600
but all of you know, it's
funny, none of it really. I

72
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.800
used to have this on DVD,
one of my earliest DVDs. Someone stole

73
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.560
it from me in college. Might
have been the girl I was dating things

74
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.000
did it all right? Off?
One of the many girls I was dating

75
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.839
in college that things didn't end well
there and convenience Like, she used to

76
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.399
borrow that movie from me, and
then I realized I never got it back,

77
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.600
so I think that was a casualty. And then I have this tape

78
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.560
here. Oh. The point I
brought up the DVD is because I listened

79
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.839
to the commentary years ago. I
love Ridley Scott commentary tracks, and he

80
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.560
was bringing up all the inaccuracies in
his own movie. But then basically kind

81
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.519
of like putting a button on it, being like who cares whatever, it's

82
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.959
really what this movie is. It's
you know, it's for your own entertainment.

83
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.160
I mean what we were saying where
they were planning on going with the

84
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.639
second one. Yeah, like there's
a very heaven and earth, very otherworldly

85
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.920
feel with this one to begin with, but that would be a strong step.

86
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.839
And then my tape here, this
was my grandfather's safe. I'm like,

87
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.680
well, at least I have it
on VHS. Years ago, someone

88
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.040
took a bunch of tapes off the
store to do some weird art project thing,

89
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.480
and I noticed that the tapes were
a Gladiator, Pocahontas and I think

90
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.680
Black Beauty. And then I looked
at my glad Ea tape and pokeon and

91
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.279
so I'm like, oh, all
the tapes are missing. I'm like,

92
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.240
I think they took the tapes to
make these things without asking who the tapes

93
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.600
belonged to. So inside that is
something called party mania because I just had

94
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.560
to fill out the box. I
just saw that, but I was going

95
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.800
to keep that a secret. Total
what party mania is? You know?

96
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.199
You blew your own cover, dude. I wasn't even gonna say literally,

97
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.120
I found a tape on the set
that was not mine that didn't have a

98
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.319
cover, and I just threw it
in there because I still wanted then set

99
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:32.079
Yes a Gladiator. Yeah. When
I first watched this movie, uh,

100
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.120
it just came out on VHS.
I was I was what maybe eight nine

101
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.120
nine years old. I remember watching
on the couch with my dad and it

102
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.000
was a first R rated movie I
was ever allowed to see. Really,

103
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.480
Ye you started late? Ye started
late, buddy, Still, Well,

104
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.959
I mean like allowed to see there
was there was those channels late at night

105
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.639
the skimmed through, you know,
stuff like watching WWF and the Puppies and

106
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.079
all that, which I wasn't allowed
to watch either when I was younger.

107
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.399
My mom came down, I was
flicking that all but watching on the couch

108
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.879
with my dad. Uh and uh
yeah, I have like a memory instilled

109
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.839
in my head of us watching this
film on the old T small a VHS

110
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:17.360
player and then Northeast Philly. Okay, so I and I know, you

111
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.720
assholes are gonna make an airplane joke. I used to watch movies with clad

112
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.399
eators as a kid, and I
really liked movies with clad eats. Everybody

113
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:31.319
did cut to the airplane joke.
You like movies about gladiators? So yeah,

114
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.319
my grandfather used to watch like a
lot of old movies, and when

115
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.560
I would watch these gladiator movies and
I'm like, wow, these are all

116
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.000
cool, but they were like all
old, like the sword and sandal genre

117
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.399
kind of disappeared. Yeah, it
really did. Like nothing ever fully disappears,

118
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.120
but they kind of went away,
like because they were like a big

119
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.959
part, kind of like how Westerns
were, Like Western's never really went away,

120
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.800
but they're they were definitely more back
then. Yeah, definitely. Uh

121
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.279
So this was like, this is
like a hundred million dollar movie on a

122
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.920
risky genre, which I mean today
would probably be a lot. I mean

123
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.399
it's probably a lot for the time. Yeah, and then turned out making

124
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.639
four one hundred and thirty seven million
while still I saw that the one I

125
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.639
saw it was like five hundred.
I don't know if that's adjusted for inflation

126
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.319
or anything, but did very bit, did very well. And three of

127
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.199
those tickets were from me, my
mom, and my grandmother. I begged

128
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.079
my mom to go see this movie. I see you went, yeah here

129
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.360
there. My parents. My parents
did not care about ratings. Frank when

130
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.560
when I was watching this, I
was like to see this in imax,

131
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.440
like if they shot it on Imax. Well it definitely wasn't Imax. Those

132
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.000
weren't very ill. But I was
like, you know, just watching and

133
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.159
thinking, I love this. When
I'm at I watched it in HD.

134
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.799
I realized I haven't watched this in
HD much because I always had the DVD

135
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.960
it whatnot. I was just watching
on HD today and I'm like, I

136
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.159
gotta get this baby in four k
I'm like, man, I need this.

137
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.080
This is good. But then you'll
really see Alva Reid's facing that one

138
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.960
scene move all around. Yeah,
that's another thing. I was looking out

139
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.200
for it. But I was like, I guess I missed it. I

140
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.240
do want to see that unless like
you really like I mean, for the

141
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.399
time for two thousands, it was
done very well. Yeah, yeah,

142
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.600
we'll get so. Yeah. I
saw this in theaters and I loved it.

143
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.399
I was like, this is awesome, Like this is freaking awesome.

144
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.559
I know some people think it's boring. There's a kind of a lull in

145
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.559
one part. I get. I
get why people might think that. I

146
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.000
personally don't think it is. I
feel like every scene is, you know,

147
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.279
keeps on moving on to the next. I mean, there's really no

148
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.320
fat to this and as like a
young boy like I was into, like,

149
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.200
you know, the Arnold Conan stuff, like all these Warriors stuff.

150
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.799
So I'm like, this is like, this is like the manly one of

151
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.399
the manliest movies ever. Yeah.
So yeah, this movie really changed my

152
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.919
life now here agreed. Uh,
you might be asking who's starring in this

153
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:48.320
movie. It stars Superman's dad,
Wonder Woman's mom, the Other Cone In,

154
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.799
the Barbarian, and the Joker.
I can't take you in. What

155
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.679
a DC universe? Baby? Yeah? Say that for him? Is that

156
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.519
the snow reverse to kissing all that
except for the Joker Snider verse? Who

157
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:11.360
cares about that anymore? It's dead, Jamie Gunny, I'm so jealous that

158
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.519
which we'll call it. All these
actors got to act with Joaquin Phoenix.

159
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.120
Did you imagine acting with Joaquin Phoenix? I could imagine walking down the street

160
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.120
and rubbing elbows with him. I
freck it will never not be funny to

161
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:31.080
me, Telly. There's no proof
out there except on the editors table where

162
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.519
it was left. You're gonna break
into water floors. I'm sorry, the

163
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.519
floor where it was left. I
would love to see that footage. Thank

164
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.480
you. Wait, I love that
movies are at it a digitally now,

165
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.279
but they still made a point to
take your scene and put it on a

166
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.639
disk and throw it on the floor, on the floor. You know what.

167
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.320
I shaved my beard for that role. I would shave my beard for

168
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.159
nobody. Directed by Ridley Scott,
one of my favorite directors. Hasn't impressed

169
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.159
me in many years, but still
at the time really into him. This

170
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.240
brilliant. I'm sorry, I gotta
take it off. I gotta take it.

171
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.440
I can't take you. Seriously.
I tried, guys, I tried.

172
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.320
This hard piece of rubber here is
digging into my skull this one.

173
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.360
No, I'm gonna put that there. Yes, Ridley Scott still on fire

174
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.759
at this point. Yeah, huh
was killing it? Killing killing it?

175
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.320
Well, fantastic. His next movie
after this, people didn't think killed it.

176
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.039
I like it and I reviewed it
with your sister and Johanna. That

177
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.720
is Hannibal, the sequel to Silence
of the Lambs. That was his next

178
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.240
one. That was just follow up
to Gladia. Yeah, with the same

179
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.720
cinematographer too. He's done a lot
of work with the cinematographer John Matthias and

180
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.320
who has also done a couple of
the X Men movies that he did,

181
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.399
First Class in Logan and a few
more Ridley Scott movies. Cinematography on this

182
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.159
was fantastic also, to like a
point to where it's like, did they

183
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.519
shoot with two I mean this might
sound really dumb, whether they shot with

184
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.759
you know, two different cameras at
certain times, like just the looks that

185
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.840
it kind of like there was a
dark the very dark, gritty look and

186
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.519
like these shots were like I would
have beautiful I mean obviously different lenses.

187
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.559
I would have to see what they
did ye film iyes like I have to

188
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.440
look up the cameras. It's actually
fun. I think we mentioned in the

189
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.279
episode when he got the call to
do Hannibal. Yeah, you know,

190
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.639
he had just got done Gladiator.
It's like, hey, do you want

191
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.360
to do Hannibal? And he thought
he meant like the Roman emperor Hannibal,

192
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.840
and he's like, hey, I
just did a Roman thing. I can't.

193
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.799
I think his quote was like I
really don't want to film elephants in

194
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.320
the mountains right now, because that's
the emperor who like did all that ship

195
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.159
And they're like no, no,
no, Hannibal Lecter He's like, oh

196
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.639
okay, oh yeah, I could
eat people and know another good movie where

197
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:46.399
he eats people. Yeah, everyone, I just made a mistake. I

198
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.039
just said Hannibal was another Roman emperor. That was wrong. He was a

199
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:58.759
general from Carthage. Yes, he
was a Carthaginian general that actually fought against

200
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.519
Rome, I believe. And this
correction comes from James V on Patreon.

201
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.799
How was he able to correct the
episode when it's currently airing. That's because

202
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.000
I've been putting episodes up early on
Patreon. Yes, and for YouTube channel

203
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.000
members as well, two dollars tier. For two dollars, you can watch

204
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.000
episodes early and let me know if
I got anything wrong so I can fix

205
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.799
it like I am now, Okay, back to the episode. Amazing score

206
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:31.039
by Hans Zimmer with vocals by Lisa
Girardi. So it's no, it's funny.

207
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.600
This is the second highest grossing film
in the year behind Mission Impossible too,

208
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.320
and I think Hans Zimmer did the
music to both those movies, so

209
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.919
that was a good year for Hans
Zimmer won an award for it as well.

210
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.080
Yeah, this won a couple awards, right almost was nominated for and

211
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.399
it won five, Yes, which
is that's why it's my favorite movie.

212
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.000
Of all time. Did I mention
that it's it's your favorite movie of all

213
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.000
time? Ye? I mean just
story wise and just character wise, Like

214
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.679
I mean, it's just it's in
my mind it's so well done. Yeah.

215
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.240
Plus you know, I just love
that old Roman. You know,

216
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.519
feel the Kyle Sam glad he's got
to see you know. I actually have

217
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.639
never been to Italy, so it's
not as big as this. So the

218
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.679
Kyle of Sam in this movie.
They've even mentioned it that it's like in

219
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.879
like interviews, they like he kind
of like doubled the size of it from

220
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.759
the inside. I mean when you
go, it's still huge. It's it's

221
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.720
massive, it's beautiful, but yeah, it's they kind of made it to

222
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.799
feel a little bit larger than life. I would love to see it,

223
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.240
but unfortunately I can't go to Italy. Why not there's too many Italians there.

224
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.679
No, no, no, No, that's fine. They're fine,

225
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.000
they're good. Like I know,
I'm like super Italian everything, but I

226
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.000
don't want to around other Italian.
We're Italian American to yes, was different.

227
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.360
You want to be around real Italian. I was just there. I

228
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.639
kept on telling everybody every Italian I
met, I was like Hey, chowmushit.

229
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.360
That is a call back to the
Flash episode. They loved it,

230
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.519
and they're like, what the fuck
they really I looked it up. I

231
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.200
think he's Argentinian or they were like
freaking Americans. I would go there like

232
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.000
my job. I would wear the
Rocky four jobs time, having a tony.

233
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.519
He was murdered in Italy. I
told him not to go. I

234
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.039
feel bad making Italian jokes after the
you know, the wonderful world leader uh

235
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.200
Berlisconi died, Remember that Italian politician. I'm super corrupted. He died recently,

236
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.320
did he Yeah, first couple of
months. Yeah, I don't know.

237
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.159
Yeah, he's he went off to
that beautiful Bunga bunga party in the

238
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:43.519
sky fight. That's why I don't
touch certain topics within Like he was like

239
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.120
a real corrup politician, but like
he didn't hide it. That was the

240
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.720
funny thing about him, Like,
wow's out there. I knew that.

241
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.320
I forgot that. He just died
while we I was actually insitially while we

242
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.200
were in Sicily. That's why you
went to celebrate him, because you agreed

243
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.720
with everything technically. I guess that's
when my sister's wedding was for you gotta

244
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.679
ask my sister Tricia, go ahead, ask her leave for your sister's wedding.

245
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.440
I got other things. But there's
a there was a journalist killed in

246
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.320
the town that I was in in
ninety two, going against like the mafia

247
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.759
and all that, and they killed
him and like blew up the bus or

248
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.799
something. But now there's a big
sign on his house that's still up in

249
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:21.679
the hills in Sicily that says no
Mafiah, which is kind of cool.

250
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.919
Now, speaking of Witch, me
and Tricia need to get through Godfather too

251
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.200
at some point coming up year Anniverse's
in Sicily fifty year anniversary coming up.

252
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.000
So it wasn't it wasn't where we
were, but they did. They kind

253
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.559
of, you know, sell a
lot of Godfather stuff, you know,

254
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.639
make money off of it. Well, there's a sequel book called The Sicilians,

255
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.279
which they made into a movie,
but they had to cut out all

256
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.679
the Godfather reference. So like Michael
crowleone is in the book, but he's

257
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:49.240
not a movie that we'll get to
that at another time. You're glad he

258
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.600
in Hannibal. We're gonna go back
two thousand years. So Glad Glaire written

259
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:02.000
by David Friendzoni who did Amistad before
this, John Logan, who before this

260
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.319
wrote Any Given Sunday and Bats,
that movie about the killer mutant Bats Any

261
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:12.319
Given Sunday shows but Bats. What
if Friendly Scott watched Bats and was like,

262
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.920
Yeah, this guy gets he's guy. Uh. And he's since gone

263
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.480
on to do a mix of okay
movies and a garbage uh. And William

264
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.160
Nicholson who did uh shadow Lands directed
by Richard Attenborough and nell I think that

265
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.839
was the Jodie Foster movie and the
movie First Night, which I think I

266
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.240
had Richard gearin it. Uh.
So, yeah, that dream team got

267
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.559
together and wrote this and yeah,
let's get right into this movie here,

268
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.720
let's do it. So it's one
eighty eight D. Following your lead,

269
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.119
Marcus Aurelius is it's about to conquer
Germania to Huh, I thought it was

270
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.440
one eighty eight. I looked at
the thing. I think it said,

271
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.720
go on, I have no idea. He's about to conquer like the rest

272
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.799
of Germania, he's about to get
the Barbarian Horde under order. He conquers

273
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.920
most of the globe. Ye Maximus
is a treatment of a field. He

274
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.680
just wants to work in a field, just wants to be a farmer,

275
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.240
just wants to go back to his
wife and kid and be able to instead

276
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:15.160
he's a warrior. First shot of
this of Russell Crowe and this Maximus is

277
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.359
and he's been Russell crow has been
talking about this. Uh, let me

278
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:19.880
get a little closer to the mic, so I don't Yes, yes,

279
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.880
we've we've saw Frank. Frank is
very soft spoken, but he has seen

280
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.160
the comments. My apologies about the
flash episode and I will boost you get

281
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.039
closer. He got it, but
he just recently went on Howard Stern I

282
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.720
think talking about that scene. It
was like the first shot that him and

283
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.440
Ridley did together. And Ridley turned
to him and said, you know,

284
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.960
act like there's a you know,
a bird on the on the tree that

285
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.559
kind of catches your eye and then
you know, and you know, kind

286
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.599
of fade away for a minute,
but then focus back on the battlefield and

287
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.599
if you watch it now, after
him like you know, kind of saying

288
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.839
that he you know how Ridley Scott
was right there directing him through the looks

289
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.200
and all that, but he said
that he brings it back to the battlefield

290
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.880
and he said Ridley turned to him
and said me and you were gonna do

291
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.759
fucking great together. But he said
he did such a great job at it

292
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.640
that really really trusted him, and
you know, kind of just ran through

293
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.599
there. How was the rest of
that Howard Stern interview was Howard weird?

294
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.599
He's just like he's not who he. I love his interviews. I love

295
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:22.440
love Howards. So my friends who
do who are these podcasts? Occasionally they'll

296
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.480
play Howard's because we all loved Howard. Certain Carl was on the show.

297
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.559
We covered his movie Private Parts.
But Howard's interviewing style these days is awful.

298
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.480
Yeah, to retire, well,
I mean like, I'm not gonna

299
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.559
say that from one radio host to
another. Now, he'd get so mad

300
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.319
at that. He'd be like radios
what No, He's interviews that he did

301
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.559
one with Kiss recently and they're talking
about how happy they are. It's like,

302
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:45.519
yeah, but when you were a
kid, were you sad that this

303
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.200
happened there? What about your father? Yeah? You keep freaking up like

304
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.920
Daddy's like, were you suicide?
And they're like, no, Howard,

305
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.319
I I was. Did you father
make you sad? It's sad seeing like

306
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.440
my hero being such a fucking weirdo. But anyway, he's dreaming of the

307
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.480
field the barbarians. They're not sure
if the barbarians will fight, because they

308
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.319
send a messenger out. The messenger
comes back with no head. Gave him

309
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.279
the response that was pretty brutal,
like to start the movie off, because

310
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.880
as a kid, I didn't like
get it right away because you see the

311
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.799
horse come out and he's like they
said, no, he's just riding back.

312
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.319
Yeah, And I'm like, oh, what's he talking about, Like,

313
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.839
oh, my comic guy doesn't have
ahead and the German guy comes out

314
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.240
screaming, throwing the dudes. This, I mean, this whole scene is

315
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.640
just really hits you hard. And
whenever you like a lot of times that

316
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.519
I watch is now will be on
TV. So I really always forget that

317
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.359
this opening is is like so brutal
and so yeah it so watching it again

318
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.039
from the beginning, it is just
yeah, they prepare for the whole the

319
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:48.599
whole fighting. I like a Maximus's
speech that he does. I love.

320
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.440
He's like, if you wake up
and find yourself here, you're an elysium

321
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.119
and you're already dead. But he
goes this movie is great of like macho

322
00:20:55.400 --> 00:21:00.079
manly, like almost philosophical quotes,
and Russell doesn't have like a lot of

323
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.359
like long drawn out speeches. He
just has those like you know, couple

324
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.799
settings, just like strong quicks to
go with it and you know what we

325
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:12.319
do in life that goes into that's
a that's a great fucking line. And

326
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.039
they tried to they tried to one
up this in the movie Troy with Brad

327
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.839
Pitt. Remember that that's kind of
around the same time this because of this

328
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:27.599
movie and other things the sandals and
yep, yep, skirts and skirts and

329
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:33.519
sandal. No, there's swords and
sorcery and then there's swords and sand don't

330
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.400
chop off the head of the mess. Yeah, well a lot of things

331
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.480
came from this. I was gonna
say the opening fight is awesome, fantastic.

332
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.480
It's like the fireballs the arrow like
when like the cg arrows that actually

333
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.559
look good because they're not a million
cg arrows. So that whole forest scene

334
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.720
they were that the town. I
think they shot this outside of England.

335
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.799
I want to say this one.
They were actually going to demolish that forest.

336
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.279
I guess like use the trees or
oh that's or something else. Ridley

337
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.200
went in and said, Hey,
you know, if you're going to tear

338
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.839
it down anyway, let me burn
it down with my movie. Yeah,

339
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.119
so they went down and shot this
whole That's cool whatever, because it looks

340
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.839
great. It looks like if they
did this now, it would look like

341
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.799
a nightmare. It's so bad.
But it looks really great. But yeah,

342
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.039
the fighting, it's actually funny.
The fighting is not super accurate.

343
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.920
Do you ever watched the show Rome? A couple episodes here? Rome was

344
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.039
really good. Actually, it's in
the first episode they showed how like in

345
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.000
real life, like the Romans,
when they fought, they would like only

346
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.519
fight for like a few seconds.
And they showed in the first episode where

347
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.400
like they whistle and then the people
fighting run to the back, and then

348
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.920
the less tired people come to fight
the people who are retired from fighting.

349
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.240
I'm like, that's actually a pretty
good idea. And make no wondering.

350
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.279
They took over most of the world, but that's not in here. Here,

351
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:47.279
it's like your classic movie battles people
on horses chopping everyone up. Felt

352
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:53.039
like an old school h God Tom
Hanks movie on the Beach, d Day,

353
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.039
Oh Savate Ryan, but like an
old school saving private like just like

354
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.839
bloody and Yeah, how however,
I hate two thousands choppy slow motion.

355
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.920
So this isn't the only movie I
did. It shocked to see it in

356
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.920
this film A little bit, yeah, a little bit too much. It's

357
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.000
in Hannibal, we did, we
did Peter Jackson's King Kong. I even

358
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.880
think there was some choppy slow mo
in the Lord of the Rings movies.

359
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.240
Uh. Yeah, I don't know
why that was such a trend back then,

360
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.240
because you really don't need it,
especially if it's practical effects. Yeah.

361
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.079
I just wanted to be more like, well you should have shot it

362
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.359
in slow motion. Yeah, because
this forced choppy slow motion just doesn't work.

363
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:37.240
It's never worked. Other than that
great scene awesome battle really gets you

364
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.680
pumped up in the beginning movie.
It is like saying, by Ryan,

365
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.079
how that scene I mean that in
that version, it doesn't really get you

366
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.480
pumped up. You're like, holy
shit worth scary. This movie gets pumped

367
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.880
up like this guy's a badass and
he's gonna kill everyone more wise, but

368
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:57.480
yes, so the emperor's children are
on the way and his senators and comedists

369
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.039
played by Joaquin Phoenix. He's the
one that's like, I think Dad's dying.

370
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:03.920
Yeah, why else would he call
us all here? I'm gonna be

371
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.200
ever soon? What am I gonna
say? What am I gonna do?

372
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.519
I can't wait. He's gonna be
fantastic. He's a little ahead of himself.

373
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.359
I love. I love when he
first gets there, he rides into

374
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.599
battle. Yeah, and did I
miss it? Yeah? Miss He's like

375
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.240
you missed the Wars. It's like, oh, dude, yeah, he

376
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.839
Ever says that, like he's disappointed. I'm like, well, was he

377
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.680
allowed to fight? I mean,
think about it. He's what I think

378
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.680
Wikim was twenty five when they shot
this. But I mean, like,

379
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.839
you think he Ever would want to
keep his son in Rome to like in

380
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.759
case he dies? Yeah, I
guess you really understood. Yeah, I

381
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.920
don't know if he would be allowed
because he knows how to fight. They

382
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.440
show him fighting. Maximus is his
favorite son, so like, if he

383
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.200
was Communists, I'd be going to
war for that. Love dude, Yes,

384
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.640
Maximus wants to go home, but
I forgot to mention communists a little

385
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.319
too into his sister a little Oh
we're gonna touch on that now. Yeah,

386
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.720
it's it's pretty early. It's like
you watch this movie and you're like,

387
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:02.039
huh, a little, a little
friendlier with this sister than I am

388
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.599
with my Maybe that's just what it's
like over there. But then towards the

389
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.480
end of the movie, you're like, oh, this is like Tony Montana

390
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.599
levels of being two into your sister. They're the Lanisters before the Lanisters were

391
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.279
the Lanister. Oh god, o
creepy, but yeah. Maximus has a

392
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:25.000
meeting with the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Dumbledore
Dumbledore first two, the first Dumbledore for

393
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:30.279
people who watch children's movies. She's
kind of cool. He's a He's just

394
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:32.960
like, yeah, I want to
go home. I live on this great

395
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.960
farm. It's awesome. And Marcus
Arelli he's just like that sounds nice.

396
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.279
Fuck you your emperor. Now.
It's like what but he I mean,

397
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.039
it's all about the character, you
know. He denies it and he's like,

398
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.400
well, that's that's why you should
ye. Marcus is like full of

399
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.240
regret. Yeah, he's like,
man, room really should have been to

400
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:53.559
the people. This whole emperor thing
has to stop. He spent twenty years

401
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.599
at war. Yeah yeah, and
he's just like he's like mat, He's

402
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.640
like, Maximus, why do you
fight for a Rome it's like, oh,

403
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.000
it's all great. It's like you've
never even been there. Yeah,

404
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.359
And so he's like he's a noble
guy. It was very loyal when he's

405
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.119
like, this is the person that
the people could look up to, not

406
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.000
my son. I'm a terrible father. My son's a psycho. Mean,

407
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.559
like it also is he wants to
be remembered properly. So like if his

408
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.839
son takes over next after he just
did twenty years of war and he knows

409
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.359
his son's a freaking psycho, then
people are gonna be like fuck him as

410
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.119
well. Sorry for oh yeah,
no, no, no, no,

411
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.839
it's fine. But if you have
Osimus there, then they're like okay,

412
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.799
like you know, he fought the
war for Maximus to reign, and like,

413
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.359
I mean, even tyrants have sons
that embarrass them. Saddam Hussein,

414
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:41.240
his son was an Uday Hussein.
Everyone hated that guy. He was the

415
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.359
oldest son. And I think Saddam
was like, you're not taking over for

416
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.720
me, because that's how much even
Saddam hated him. But like he couldn't

417
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.880
do anything technically. Listen, Tony, I'm here to talk movies, not

418
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.039
politics. I'm just saying there's in
a story. This happens in history.

419
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.400
Nephew is gonna be knocking at my
door, like, what did you and

420
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.400
Tony say about me? No,
this the thing that happens in history where

421
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.200
even like some emperors like, oh
my god, if this guy replaces me,

422
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:10.640
everyone's gonna blame me. I can't
do that. What happened? So

423
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.799
yeah, he's like, you're gonna
be the new emperor. Maximus is like,

424
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.160
well, I got a lot to
think about. I don't want that.

425
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.519
Can I think about it? Even
he wasn't Marcus's first choice because he

426
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.680
looks at his daughter and goes,
if only you were a man, you

427
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.720
would have been a great season,
which really shows how they treated women back.

428
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.799
Yeah. Yeah, and he wanted
her to larite lead Rome and I

429
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:32.799
screamed, woke at the screen,
Frank, you know, I screamed,

430
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.799
walk glad here to two's on the
way. Tony, you never know,

431
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:41.400
Oh no, he could be empressed, dude, Oh no, I gotta

432
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.880
stop Gladdie here too. But so
Maximus even turns to his servant once he

433
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.759
sees him next right, and he
says, you know, like the Tommy

434
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.400
Flanning in character, that we might
not be going home just yet, Yeah,

435
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.200
because he's actually contemplating, like maybe
he will become emperor. Yeah,

436
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.960
you can see that a little bit. So even Connie Nielsen meets with her,

437
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.000
meets with him next right, and
she's like, you know, what

438
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.160
did my father have to say to
you? And he kind of lies a

439
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.559
little bit. He doesn't want to
stir the pot at all. Yeah.

440
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.839
So and she's like, I know, you've always been a bad liar,

441
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.759
and he was like, yeah,
it's it's established that they had a thing.

442
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.359
Yeah, yeah, but he ended
he ended it with her, I

443
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:17.960
guess, or never started it with
her, and then they went and married

444
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.240
other people. Her husband's dead,
his family stole alive. Yeah, yeah,

445
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.000
whose kid is it? No?
Because it's like around the same age.

446
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.359
I know it's and it's like said
through history that they're she did well.

447
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.640
That point didn't look Spanish. A
can't keep in mind Baxibus is a

448
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.880
Spaniard in this and he's speaking with
the most Australian acts. I mean,

449
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.799
definitely the whole movie should be in
Latin. Then right then they speak last,

450
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.359
all right, how do you feel
about Okay, don't we watched these

451
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.079
Roman movies or even the show room
they all have the British accents. I'm

452
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.279
like, look, they don't have
to speak. Could you give him like

453
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:02.119
Italian accents? Why is it always
British? I've known many Italians from Italy.

454
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:03.279
If you're gonna have an accent anyway, yeah, if you're gonna have

455
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.319
an acted, you at least have
him to do. I think that entire

456
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.519
show Rome. I think there was
one character I remember who had an Italian

457
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:15.400
accent. Everyone was like, oh, Cheerio Prome and I'm like, that's

458
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.640
what if they all had Jersey and
Italian accents. I would prefer that.

459
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.759
Yo trying to run a fucking up
by over, Yo, the war's over.

460
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:32.880
Grab the cabacoul in the mozo shit, all right, and we're done

461
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:42.640
by Anthony goes to Egypt, Cleopatra, mom Amidia on so anyway, be

462
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:49.400
the uh the spaniard from the outback? Good he uh, yeah, he's

463
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.039
incorruptible. What this was why he's
picked? So Comedists goes to talk to

464
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.319
his dad. He's like, hey, dad, what's up. Can't wait

465
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.559
to be emperor one day? And
and his dad is like, his dad

466
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.680
really should have had a really should
have had a guard in the room.

467
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.480
Should have had something. You should
have had a guard in the room for

468
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:08.039
this one. It's like, hey, my son might not take this.

469
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.720
Son's a psycho like that. I
mean you would think, yeah, like

470
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.960
hey, he's probably gonna try and
kill yeah. And he's like, hey,

471
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.920
I just want you to know son. Uh. First off, great

472
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:19.799
to see you. You're not gonna
be emperor. Yeah, And he's just

473
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.359
like he tries to at first.
He's like upset and it's like, well,

474
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.079
I guess one of the senators or
one of these people will replace me.

475
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.000
Someone he's been with for a while. And he's like, yeah,

476
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.480
the general of my army. And
he's like, I'm sorry, dad,

477
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.039
what the guy you hate most?
Yeah, it's like, oh, that

478
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.920
guy that I'm extremely envious off.
Again, Marcus really shouldn't knew how this

479
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:45.279
was gonna go. Should have known
how it was gonna go. I mean,

480
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.039
especially you don't get on your knees
in front of a Yeah, because

481
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.119
he has regrets as a father,
and he's like, hey, you're a

482
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.519
shitty person because I was a bad
dad. And he's like, oh,

483
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.720
hug me. Also, I like
Comtist's virtues. He's like, none of

484
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.319
my virtues were on there and it's
like ambition is a virtue and I'm like,

485
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:06.920
yes, it is. Communists,
I learned always be ambitious. What

486
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:08.839
do you say, courage bravery?
Yeah, and he said you could have

487
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.960
bravery and other aspects of life and
this and that. But yeah, not

488
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.079
dude, I wouldn't a niel.
I don't like that these movies try to

489
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.519
make ambition look bad. You know, like whenever I watch The Lion King,

490
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.519
I always root for scar because he
just much like Simba, he can't

491
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.160
wait to be king. He has
a few obstacles in this way and he

492
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.039
has to take care of him.
Yeah. Same thing with comtists. I'm

493
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.960
like, well, he just really
wants to be emperor. I guess there's

494
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.920
a lion king field of this movie. Yeah, I can, I can.

495
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.599
I can meet you halfway there?
Am I watching movies? Rug prag?

496
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.279
Yeah, it kills his dad.
Yeah, it kills his dad with

497
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.960
a bear hug and nobody, nobody, you know, does anything about it.

498
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:56.480
They just let it happen. Which
is however Maximus knows, because this

499
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.839
is Maximus is like one chance.
Yeah, so I get out of this,

500
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.160
Like he's very aware what happened and
what's it called it Commonists is like,

501
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.359
yeah, will you take my hand? I'm offering this to you,

502
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.960
And that was like, hey,
I know, you know, but play

503
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.119
ball with me, buddy, yeah, which he I mean the whole this

504
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.559
whole movie is about honor and respect. Yeah, I mean strength and honor.

505
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.039
But you know, the whole film
is about respect. I think that's

506
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.640
why I really like it so much. Is just you know, like knowing,

507
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.119
knowing your your your values and you
know, respecting other people and you

508
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:29.640
know, just going through life like
that. But I mean, the second

509
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.599
he walks in and sees Marcus Aurelius
on the on his deathbed, he knows

510
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.599
right away and he gets right up, and then Lakin stops him right there

511
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:39.400
and he's like, all right,
you got one you got one chance here

512
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.240
to do the right thing. And
he was like nope, nope. And

513
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.400
even like Lucilla, Lucilla, she
slaps her brother because she knows what he

514
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.400
did, but then she gives him
a kiss, like, I guess I

515
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:51.880
gotta play ball you're gonna do.
She doesn't want her kid dead too,

516
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:53.960
Yeah, which is wild. He
plays that so well, dude, But

517
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.960
Keen is like, yeah, he
is so hateable in this dude, I

518
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.160
know, and like they try to, Like I think they attempted to make

519
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.279
him sympathetic, but it just makes
him more pathetic. Like all he's like

520
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.519
crying and stuff. He just seems
he seems like a child. I mean

521
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.759
there's even moments through the through this
movie where he kind of acts like Lucius

522
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.400
does, like at the at the
fights and stuff. The first you know

523
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.039
Gladie or fights and get to him
later. But I mean he's kind of

524
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.559
acting the way that Lucius is,
Like he's still just a child man,

525
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:24.720
very naive. Yeah, it never
grew up, and now he's the leader

526
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.519
of the world. I want to
stop his feet and tell people what to

527
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:34.000
do. It's like okay, dude, oh yeah, so he orders Maximus

528
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.160
to die. Yeah, they arrest
him and it's like, oh man,

529
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.920
well man, you're gonna kill me. That sucks. Can you tell my

530
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.039
wife? Or like, oh no, we're killing them too. It's like,

531
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.039
Okay, I don't think you need
to do that. Your family will

532
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:51.640
meet you when they afterlife. I
don't think you really need to do that.

533
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:53.440
They'll meet you there. He was
like, oh shit. Plus,

534
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:58.240
they you know, they ride him. I guess they wrote him a good

535
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:01.480
hour out right. Well yeah,
because like that army was very loyal to

536
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:06.359
him, and those soldiers I think
we're like for the emperor, not his

537
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.159
soldiers that he had been fighting with. Yeah, so they would not have

538
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:13.920
stood for them killing their general because
they shows that even the emperor is like

539
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.480
Maximus is like, they cheer for
you. It's like, yeah, they're

540
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.119
cheering for you, buddy. I
guess you're right, the whole entire army,

541
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.320
not the guys that were going that
were to kill him. Yeah.

542
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:22.840
So if you kill him there,
yeah, because even later in the movie,

543
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.239
yeah, they're waiting on him.
Yeah, they say they're like but

544
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.480
they have other commanders, but they're
like, they're not loyal. So yeah,

545
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.039
he sends him out there to get
killed. He kills his executioners.

546
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:37.480
Ye, well he said he said, what give me a soldier's death or

547
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.800
but it was just a position the
guy in a way he knew he could

548
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.320
kill him. Love that. I
like for the one guy who he has

549
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.320
to let the guy know what's happening. He's like the frost sometimes makes the

550
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:46.880
sword sec I'm like, wow,
that's a very nice scientific lesson. He's

551
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.280
like, now I'm gonna kill you. It's a great line, dude,

552
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.920
Like just it really shows like just
how calm Maximus is. They're just like

553
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.760
ready to go to battle. Although
I think he was playing fire there with

554
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.960
the one on the horse. Yeah, and you could that guy was drinking.

555
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.559
Kid, you could have stuck up
on that guy. I don't know

556
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.639
why you're like practorian. I mean
I love that he's screamed towards him though,

557
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:06.760
I mean it just adds like a
badass. Yeah, and I like

558
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.840
this is one of my favorite tropes
where two people run out each other with

559
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:14.920
swords and you wait for one of
them to die. Switch asides hits him

560
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.320
and he gets up and then dude
falls off the horse. Yeah, I

561
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:20.440
kind of. I mean it might
even slowed him down a little bit,

562
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.519
even the ride out to for an
hour is would I guess put him behind

563
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.400
because he just missed his wife and
kid. Right well, yeah, so

564
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.039
I guess they're in Spain, but
they like ordered them at the Wait wait,

565
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.320
wait, so so he's from Spain, but does his family live there

566
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.320
because that's a long fucking horse trip. I mean, I could just be

567
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.480
somewhere in Italy though, Right well, they're in Germany, they're yeah,

568
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:45.360
yeah, either way. He gets
either way, he said, because he

569
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.159
said, what in fifteen days,
I will be home when they when they

570
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.360
fast him. So it's around a
two week ride to get back home,

571
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.920
right right, And he gets there. By the way, not only do

572
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.440
they kill his family, they've murdered
the ship out of that like they've run

573
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.760
over that boy with like the horse. Dude, when they like that,

574
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.000
that whole shot they must have had
like a doll or something there when the

575
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.599
yeah, I don't know the making
of that scene, yeah, being like,

576
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.679
oh my god, whoa they just
kidd did you rarely see like kids

577
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.960
killed in movies, especially that violently. I mean it's twenty three years ago.

578
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:20.119
Man, they were still still going
down with it. But yeah,

579
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:23.280
he gets he gets home and he's
too late. Everything's on fire and they're

580
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:27.159
crucified. They're not it's not even
enough to be killed. They're like straight

581
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:31.599
up crucified. Rape. I I
still like gag everything he gets all snotty

582
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:36.199
like on her feet, I know, but dude, I like I love

583
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:37.360
that. Dude. No, no, I get it. I get motion

584
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.519
that came. You think you think
those are actually an actress's feet or you

585
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:45.079
think like right, and he just
like went right up to him and just

586
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:50.199
put his mouth. It was just
call it just legs hanging right. Yeah,

587
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.199
you don't really see them. Could
just be like, I don't know.

588
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.719
I don't know a lot of us
behind the scenes on this film.

589
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:59.760
I just well, second I watched
the behind the scenes steal my dvd.

590
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.119
I would have listened to the commentary
again, Frank, but my DVD was

591
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:06.639
stolen. I just don't want the
magic ruin in my mind. This is

592
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.679
still real stuff. They had cameras
back then and filmed their ship. I

593
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.719
love it. I gotta, I
gotta. I got a boot tattooed onto

594
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:16.679
my leg that says my last name, Vulpi. For the record, i'd

595
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:20.840
show it, but I guess I'm
not wearing any pants here. I said,

596
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.880
whoh oh, there you go.
See. I was gonna get a

597
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:25.960
tattoo, but oh my god,
we're gonna get this. Sorry god.

598
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:30.679
I was gonna get a tattoo of
Italy, but again, just too many

599
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.840
Italians there? Wait, was Sicily
on there? Yes? Is it?

600
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:40.760
Well that's an accurate because we all
know Sicily is not Italy, don't.

601
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.280
Okay, that's a running gag because
your Your sister brought it up to me,

602
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.599
And that's some Sicilians don't don't want
to accept that they're Italian. They're

603
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.599
Sicilians. They're two different races.
Whatever Joe is on the show. I'm

604
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.639
like, yeah, we got two
Italians and a Sicilian. Here makes sense

605
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.239
there, You you did something res
So yeah, he's too late. He

606
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:06.000
wanders and gets picked up by some
slavers. Like he buries him first,

607
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.400
right, buries him, And I
mean technically he it looks like he just

608
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:12.920
fell asleep at their burial site,
right, so like people came on to

609
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:15.079
his farm and just picked him up. Yeah, I guess they just picked

610
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.000
him up right from his farm.
And I like that whole dream sequence where

611
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.760
he's just like hovering, which they
call back to later on. I love

612
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:23.320
this imagery, right, Yeah,
they hover and it's like all crazy we

613
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.639
hear lines from the future but not
yet. Uh yes, but not yet.

614
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.920
I mean in this it's like in
his mind he's dead. Yeah,

615
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.199
So I mean that's why I see
them reusing the same you know imagery again

616
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:39.880
later on of him floating, but
now he's just you know, you see

617
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:44.039
him, you see him dead and
enclosed in like a cage. Yeah,

618
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.000
and he's and it's like he's floating
by. But and then you know,

619
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:52.760
he wakes up to his buddy Juba
Juman Hansu Numidian. He's a Numidian played

620
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.159
by Jaman Hanzu. Yeah, who's
in a lot of movies. Uh,

621
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.719
he's good at this. Just watched
them in Shazam too. He is,

622
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:06.039
Yes, he isn't he Also what
we said, Amistad one of the writers

623
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.840
did this, and he was an
Amistad previously, and he was also in

624
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:14.280
Stargate. He was either a Nubis
or Horace in Stargate. I don't know.

625
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:16.000
Stargate's awesome. It was in Blood
Diamond as well, and he was

626
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:20.119
in Blood Diamond that was after this. Yeah. But yeah, they end

627
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.800
up becoming like really good friends throughout
the film. I wish there were a

628
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.280
couple more scenes of them just hanging
out because their chemistry was really really good.

629
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.079
It comes down to like just respect
for each other. I mean,

630
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.440
like, you know, you really
they had great chemistry throughout it. Yeah,

631
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:35.079
and then you know, it just
really shows a different side. It

632
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.480
helps show a different side of Maximus, that soft side of like his family

633
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.480
and caring and wanting to do right, and then we get introduced to Oliver

634
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:51.800
Reid's character Antonius Proxim Proximo, but
my phone went proximity, So Oliver.

635
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.400
People talk about his death as if
it's like a cool thing. Have you

636
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:59.719
did you hear how he died?
Yes? Yeah, So he promised Ridley

637
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:01.159
Sky he would not drink because he
had a bad drinking problem. He was

638
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:04.559
very unhealthy, but he wanted to
be in the movie. He promised,

639
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:08.079
Yeah, legendary actor. And then
a bunch of sailors was in Ireland or

640
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.039
something when there was like a break
of production. They like forced him to

641
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.039
drink with them, and he drank
way too much and then he died in

642
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.800
the bar. I didn't hear all
that. I thought it was a heart

643
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.400
attack, going, well, he
had a heart attack after drinking like crazy,

644
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:27.199
after not drinking for a long time. Yeah, and as she's getting

645
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.599
that far into shooting, they shot
from Yeah, I think they said January

646
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.000
to May and he died May second. Yeah, So that was the thing.

647
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.559
People people will always share the story. They're like, what a legend.

648
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.360
I'm like, no, that's actually
kind of sad. Guys like he

649
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.480
he was like, it's cool if
you think he did it all the time,

650
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.119
and it's like, no, he
was trying to stop and then he

651
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.239
relapsed and then they kind of screwed
over this production. They had to film

652
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.519
around him, which I think works. Like you said, there is like

653
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.360
a weird scene, but I didn't
pick up on it. It's dark and

654
00:40:53.840 --> 00:41:00.119
there's enough body doubles and whatnot.
Watching it now, I do notice there

655
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:01.760
are some awkward cutaways to him,
and I'm like, Oh, it's probably

656
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:06.679
because they didn't just have enough of
his reaction. Yeah, you could tell

657
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:08.800
that they reuse stuff from certain moments
and yeah and all that. That's what

658
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:12.119
I'm thinking now. Yeah, but
he's the man. He's good in this.

659
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.880
I love he's fighting with the guy
because he's like, you sold me.

660
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:19.079
Queer giraffes they just sit there and
they don't do anything. They don't

661
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:25.639
So the guy that sells Maximus is
also, isn't he also like within like

662
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.519
the year before, the same guy
who sold the Mummy. Yeah. I

663
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:32.920
didn't want to assume, but it
looks like the guy from the Mummy,

664
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.480
the same guy that sold Brendan Fraser
in the Mummy. So he was and

665
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.400
I think it was the same set
too, Like same cages like, dude,

666
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:43.239
I'm telling you, dude, it
looks pretty legit. But I think

667
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.639
I remember a story back in the
day, like they were filming this,

668
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.599
like next to like U five seven
one, the movie about the Submarine.

669
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:52.400
I feel like both those movies like
shot back to back, and I think

670
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.320
I remember a story like the U
five seven one set was like, yeah,

671
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:00.280
we would hear them like fighting and
stuff in the Gladiator. On the

672
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.840
Gladiator sound stage, they must have
walked over the money and grabbed this guys

673
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.760
still in costume and said all right, come over to us and worked with

674
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.599
us for Yeah, hey, you'll
be on our show. So yeah,

675
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:14.559
he's like, hey, I'll sell
you these recent slaves I got. And

676
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:15.840
he's like, some are good for
fighting, some are good for dying.

677
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:20.559
You benefit from both. So it's
kind of like Proximo knows who will die

678
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:22.000
and kind of bet on a money
man at the end of the day.

679
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:24.599
Yes, and one of the glad
Eaters, as I mentioned before, he's

680
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:30.440
played by Ralph Mueller, the Big
Tough. He is one of Arnold Schwartzenager's

681
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:35.079
friends. There's another one in this
movie, more famous Arnold Schwartzenager friend.

682
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.360
He comes later but yeah, Ralph
Muller, he was in the Cone of

683
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:44.519
the Barbarian TV show that happened around
this time. He played Conan. I

684
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:49.199
watched the entire series last year after
I covered the first movie. I'm like,

685
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:53.039
oh, Chuby has the entire show. Yes, Mickey from The Little

686
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:57.639
Guy, Mickey from Seinfeld's in it. He's like one of the main characters.

687
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:00.719
I've never seen him. Now he
does the I think he does have

688
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.840
the accent, but he tries to
do the Arnold accent. He's playing it

689
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.719
up, does it well. So
the bad guy in the show is this

690
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:15.079
like wizard called his azul and this
actor trying to say that with the thick

691
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.920
guy. The whole episole shows like, oh no, he's al and I

692
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.360
would just watch the show and I
would crack up every time. But he's

693
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:29.760
I'm sold, sold sold, So
great show. Great show. It's one

694
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.440
of those shows that King the Hill
was the same thing. Way. We're

695
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.480
like, there's there's a couple of
shows that have a final episode, but

696
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.519
then they clearly had an episode in
the can, like a missing one that

697
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:43.960
they just released later. It's one
of those like I'm like, oh uh

698
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:47.840
wait, the story's done, but
there's just this random episode, like with

699
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.760
all these characters who left midway through
at least it. Yeah, yeah,

700
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.480
I gotta do it. That's the
weird thing with King the Hill. King

701
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:58.800
the Hill had such a good final
episode, and then there's a random episode

702
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.119
about the neighbor that came out afterwards, like Okay, can you like reorganize

703
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.159
this anyway? Uh, he's there
to train the gladiators. Maximis doesn't want

704
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:08.719
to fight, and even his friend
is like, hey man, you gotta

705
00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:12.599
fight, buddy, Nah, because
he's ready to die. Yeah, Like

706
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:15.719
what you think of the maggots cleaning
his cut? Is that what that was?

707
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.760
Yeah? That he put that he
not what he put took out of

708
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.480
his mouth and put in there,
right, that was like he puts stuff

709
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.480
in there, like for the maggots, like cleaning that that was gross.

710
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:29.400
Yeah, I didn't know what it
was. I just I thought that he

711
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.360
was just, yeah, helping him. So now so they get ready for

712
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:37.119
the first fight. Yeah, the
guy peeing was pretty funny. We're like

713
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.159
the guy's peeing and Maximus like takes
a step back because you want to step

714
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:45.519
in the guy's peak. Jesus,
even in the theater sorry, I was

715
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:47.880
lost there about what what I thought
I missed? Yeah, the guy in

716
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:53.440
front himself. I was cracking up
even as a kid watching the theater,

717
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.760
the guy with the weird spiky hair. I'm like, that guy's dead.

718
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.519
That guy is dead, and you're
enough they opened up the door that you're

719
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:06.400
just nails him in the face making
I mean, imagine imagine being thrown in.

720
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.119
You're like a farmer, you've never
fought before in your life, and

721
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:12.440
you're and he's also I think he
was also chained to the Big Dude.

722
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.440
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
because the Big Dude. At one point

723
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.880
that guy died or another guy died. The guy was chained to someone else.

724
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:21.840
But when that guy Big Dude just
cuts his arm, cut his arm

725
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:27.679
clean off, Juba Maximus are tied
together. Yeah, but yeah, him

726
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.280
and I didn't write Ralph Mueller's name
down. What was his character's named,

727
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:34.760
the big guy Dude? I don't
even home Ralph. All three of them

728
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.320
survived, they killed the other ones. I mean, they all had like

729
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.280
training through through their lives. Even
said asked, like later on in the

730
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:43.440
film, once he gets to the
cone. Yeah, yeah, so there

731
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.920
are some like yeah, because actually
when he goes to buy them. Yeah.

732
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.360
Uh, Proximo. When he buys
them, he asked, like what

733
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.679
that guy did. He's like,
yeah, I'm a warrior. And then

734
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:53.880
the slave owners like, no,
I got Hi from a solid mine.

735
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:58.719
It's like, yeah, well before
that he was a warrior. I love

736
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:00.280
I love that Proximos like such an
nihilis. He's like, well, you're

737
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.440
all gonna die. Yeah, and
it's gonna be great and I'm gonna make

738
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:09.440
a lot of money off you,
like like a revolt here. Yeah,

739
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.440
I mean, what are they gonna
do? I mean, I mean this

740
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.320
whole first fight scene really just oh
man, it's so it's good. It's

741
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.280
a it's an intense fight, and
I like that it's in the smaller coliseum.

742
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.679
Yeah, just like a local one
that they have because they were what

743
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:27.280
they were saying because Marcus shut down. I guess the calls ham for f

744
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.280
Yeah, we're getting to that part
when they give us that lesson. Because

745
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:42.239
meanwhile in Rome, Commedists shows back
up and the digital city here and the

746
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.119
miniatures that they use all still really
look good. So at the end of

747
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.880
the sorry Maximus, in this whole
fight, right, they're all just like

748
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:54.159
covered in blood and the you know, and the crowd starts cheering for them.

749
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:58.880
Yeah. Uh. And then it
cuts to a keen phoenix I'm sorry

750
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.920
commedists coming in and they're covered in
red roses. Yeah. So it's like

751
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:08.360
and then one of the someone from
the Senate has a line there that says

752
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.000
something about, you know, they're
gonna they're gonna love them for it.

753
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:16.960
Oh yeah, that's coming up.
So communists hates the Senate, but he's

754
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:21.119
stuck with them. He stuck with
them for now yea. And it doesn't

755
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.239
want to be uh, and you
know, there's like no more war happening.

756
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.960
So they're like, how do I
get like Rome to be on my

757
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.639
side? Blah blah blah. And
he's like, you know, I'm gonna

758
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:32.360
do these games. I'm gonna open
up the Gladiator games again. And I

759
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:37.519
like that that like shot over the
coliseum where like you don't know what's happening,

760
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:39.920
you see, there's so much of
murder happening inside. Yeah, I

761
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.119
mean, do you like the city? I mean, for two thousands,

762
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:45.159
Yeah, I think it still holds
up. Looks like, I mean,

763
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:50.320
I think he still because they back
then you couldn't zoom through the city and

764
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:52.719
whatnot. I know, George Lucas
was trying and it looked like shit.

765
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:57.000
Uh but yeah, they were like
more smart about it back then, and

766
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.880
we've had good digital cities since then. But late Lee, lately there's been

767
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.159
a sharp drop and like I was, I was looking at some of the

768
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:06.559
clips from like Flash and I'm just
like, oh, that's a rough city.

769
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:10.079
What did I watch recently? Oh? God, bird Box Barcelona.

770
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.679
I didn't even see it, don't
bother with it. But I was like

771
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:16.880
looking at him, like that building's
fake. That's fake, even the last

772
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:20.400
john Wick and I love the john
Wick. Maybe he's the last one.

773
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:22.360
Maybe it was like a COVID thing. Maybe they were a film indoor and

774
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:28.039
then they were just I could tell, like he wasn't actually in Paris and

775
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.840
all that. I think they were
a little bit duh, a little bit,

776
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.880
but like there were so I was
there. I went to the final

777
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:36.679
fight scene, the steps that he
that he did. I went up those

778
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.760
steps and I mean, like they
had to a film. Have you seen

779
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:43.119
it? I literally watched it right
before I went to pack. Yeah,

780
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.039
I don't know, man, I
was sitting in the theater. I'm like,

781
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.239
none of this looks real really but
yeah, so going back to this

782
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:51.119
back when there was like a healthy
balance and whatnot, I thought, this

783
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.400
still really holds up. So yeah, he opens up the Gladiator because the

784
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.800
policy and he does the games.
The other senators were like, oh man,

785
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.360
he's smart, and he says he'll
bring them death and they'll love him

786
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.480
for it, which they know,
like, you know, he's smart for

787
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:07.360
them to you know, bring them
all in. But also, you know

788
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.599
everyone else that once peace now is
like why are we about to do one

789
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:14.840
hundred and fifty days? Yeah?
Why are we celebrating all this violence when

790
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:16.760
we just like achieved piece. Also, he had a line in there where

791
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:22.440
you know, it's kind of hypocritical
where they're honoring Marcus, you know with

792
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:25.679
with bloodshed. Yeah, and that's
shut down the Collie Sam Yeah, which

793
00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:29.920
got Proximo later on. It's like, yeah, they're doing these games,

794
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:35.000
which is ironic. Father shut them
down. I keep jumping like two three

795
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.159
scenes ahead? Is that why they
shout it down? Well? I remember

796
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.480
like one of the reasons, like
Rome Fell is like they kind of bankrupt

797
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:43.639
with themselves by like doing all that
shit, like yeah, let's pay a

798
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.599
bunch of money to get an elephant
here. It's like, can elephants survive

799
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:50.000
that travel? We'll find out.
It's like, let's just get wild.

800
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.400
Well, we just wasted a lot
of money bringing elephants here, please the

801
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:57.039
people. Yeah, but yeah,
all these like all these scenes right here

802
00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:00.239
where they're bouncing back and forth before
Maximus comes to to the College Sam.

803
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:06.679
It's really like mirroring uh Commodus's and
Maximus is like journeys. Yeah, Like

804
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:08.920
it's it's kind of cool where uh
you know, like I said, where

805
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:13.639
Maximus wins that College Sam fight and
they're you know, and the crowd's cheering

806
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.199
for him for bringing the bloodshed,
but then uh, Commedist is coming into

807
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:20.360
into Rome and everyone's cheering for him. Yeah, like you know, they're

808
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.199
two opposite journeys ones, Like,
yeah, they're gonna meet back up,

809
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.800
they're gonna meet back up. But
you're right, that fight where Maximus goes

810
00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:30.039
in and just kills all those guys
fantastic. It's awesome. But you could

811
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:34.119
tell he doesn't he doesn't like doing
this. No, he s at the

812
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.039
end, he like throws the sword
at the people running in and are you

813
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:39.920
not entertained? Are you not entertained, Like he's not, You're not entertained.

814
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.559
Yeah, he's not about it's just
not why you are here, dude.

815
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:46.519
He's kind of pointing out, like
this is kind of fucked guys,

816
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:52.280
Like murdering and killing is like an
awful thing and sometimes in the set necessity,

817
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:54.480
but like we can't do it,
like this is weird. He's over

818
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.039
it. Yeah he doesn't. He
doesn't. Also, my fake dad told

819
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:00.639
me it was wrong and I could
be emperor right now. We can only

820
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:05.079
do it for Rome to take over
the whole world, but but do it

821
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.679
for sport? What are you nuts? Also, rest in peace, pig

822
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:14.559
guy, he got it the worst. You think that someone like he was

823
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:15.840
also kind of a slave and they
would just like throw this on your head

824
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.159
and you're fighting with him. I'm
sure they were all kind of slaves.

825
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.480
Was like, oh, I'm gonna
look badass with this one with my pig

826
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.280
shoe. Yeah, and then he
gets killed. Oh my god, could

827
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.119
you imagine like wearing all that armor
back and then that would suck? No

828
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.119
way when you look at knights and
something like they couldn't even see they're probably

829
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:34.840
like I think there's like stories of
like you know, a lot of times

830
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:38.199
they would like kill each other because
they just like couldn't see it even like

831
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:42.519
even Max misses like, I get
it looks badass, Yeah, but like

832
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:45.440
I just I would not. I
guess, you know, you want to

833
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:47.320
protect a head, but doesn't really
protect your head against swords like that.

834
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:52.960
Yeah. But yeah, Proximo is
really excited to go back to the coliseum.

835
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.559
Yeah, because he we've learned that
Marcus Aurelius gave him his freedom,

836
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.079
he gave him the Wooden Sword and
let him go free. And he's about

837
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.239
to make a whole lot more money. Yeah, because he apparently he made

838
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:06.480
money. And then he's like,
he's like, well for five years,

839
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:09.159
I've been dicking around here for scraps. He's like, now I'm back in

840
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:14.920
business. Uh. And then Drew
Ba Maximus, they bond over having families.

841
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:17.679
They do the whole like I will
see them again, but not yet,

842
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:22.800
not yet. Yeah. I think
Drew Ba he at least he believes

843
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.599
his family is still alive. Yeah. Where he just hasn't seen him in

844
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:30.320
years. Yeah yeah where Yeah,
Maximus, he knows it there, they're

845
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.719
done, he's seen them recently.
Uh. And then I have in my

846
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:38.639
notes here more incest cry baby stuff
because Commonists is just such a yeah.

847
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:43.639
I mean he really uh yeah,
he really wants his sister really big.

848
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.079
Yeah, and he also wants to
get rid of the fucking Senate. Like

849
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:49.599
he's really trying to get rid of
the Senate. I like the I like

850
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.000
the imagery of him again. He's
like a child sitting there spinning his sword

851
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.360
while the Senate is talking and and
just not paying attention. And he's like,

852
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:58.360
the people are gonna love me.
And then the one guy calls him

853
00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:00.199
and he's like, yeah, have
you ever held him in dying? And

854
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:05.519
he's just like might He's like he's
like, yeah, I might. He

855
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:07.920
wants to hold them. He wants
to he wants to show them love,

856
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.760
hold them to his bosom. Yeah. He is his friend, his realm's

857
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:15.440
father, and they're his children and
he will embrace them. You ever embraced

858
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:20.639
the man dying of the plague?
He's like saying that again, and you

859
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:24.639
will. Fucker are you not entertained? So I love the dude in the

860
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:30.400
wig with the big eyebrows. Yeah, that guy's awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

861
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:32.840
But so what they're doing is they're
bringing in the gladiators they assume they're

862
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:37.119
all gonna die because the other the
ones in the coliseum are more well armed,

863
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:42.360
and they're like, we're doing the
ancient battle of this and the good

864
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:45.199
guys are gonna be here and these
guys are gonna be there. What they're

865
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:47.840
doing is pretty much the first battle
we see on screen, right the Barbarians.

866
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:51.000
No, no, I think it's
like an older battle. I think

867
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.639
it's an older battle. But they're
like, yeah, this will be like

868
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:59.280
the famous battle here put them.
Maximus is like, they don't play on

869
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.000
Maximus like getting everyone together. I
mean even Proximus was like, you know,

870
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:07.519
you wait, you're gonna make my
guys the losing side, Like,

871
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:09.000
like, my guys are supposed to
lose now. So he was like,

872
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.880
oh great, now all my slaves
are about to die until they get out

873
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:16.039
there. Yeah, until they get
out out Uh. This is this is

874
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:20.440
what in the wrestling business they would
call a shoot, not a work.

875
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.079
A work is what it's like when
it's planned. A shoot is when someone

876
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:28.679
goes off script and Maximus and the
boys they do a shoot on the gladiators

877
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:38.360
and they murder all of them.
This battle is this battle is Han Zimmer's

878
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:43.360
music is like insane. He's good. It's good, all of it's I

879
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:47.280
mean, it's like just that whole
the Chariot's coming out. And then and

880
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:51.159
then you start to see them work
together, which is fantastic. But then

881
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:52.480
you start to notice, you know, the Maximus is is shown. You

882
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.920
know, he's a general and then
he can do this, and he's you

883
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:57.920
know, he's he's I mean,
he's the best to ever do it.

884
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.039
So now he starts taking over.
Yeah, he's the Emperor's kind of like

885
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:02.519
enjoying it, loving it. But
then he's like, wait a minute,

886
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:05.880
what the fun. Yeah, he's
like, oh, I like a surprise.

887
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:07.400
The guy organized it, and it's
like that wasn't supposed to happen.

888
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.440
Maximus winning over the crowd. Baby, I always felt bad for that chick

889
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.320
that looks good too. She like
falls and then she gets up and it's

890
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:19.800
like this big spike. I love, I just I love that Maximus has

891
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:22.880
to win the crowd on all.
Yes, he has. He has a

892
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.920
path now on on on how to
get to the emperor and and take his

893
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.679
vengeance. Yes, and I think
he has. He's met Lucius at this

894
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:34.280
point, right, uh so Lucious, Yes, right before this, and

895
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:36.639
then he realized who Lucia says.
He's like, oh shit, yea,

896
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:40.320
so we forgot. So Maximus has
his own plan because when Proxima was telling

897
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:43.920
him, it's like, yeah,
I won all these battles and I was

898
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:46.480
granted my freedom. Like the Emperor
came up to me and touched me on

899
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:51.159
the shoulder. Maximus is like,
oh, I'm gonna get real close to

900
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:55.880
that Aurelius. Yeah, but he's
just like, I said, my shoulder,

901
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:00.760
but I like, he's like,
I want will you want? I

902
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:04.079
also want to get close to the
emperor, but for many different reasons.

903
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.239
And Proximus still like doesn't know at
that point. He doesn't tell him who

904
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.000
he is or why, but he's
like, yes, when when the crowd

905
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:12.639
and you win your freedom, yea. So and then when he meets Lucius,

906
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.599
he's kind of like, you know, he's looking around, like wait,

907
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.159
where's your He's like, I don't
want to spoil it. That's why

908
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:19.719
he like picks up the mask and
it's like I should probably put a helmet

909
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:22.360
on up the coolest one around.
So yeah, the Emperor goes out to

910
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.880
meet him and he's like, oh, hey, Gladi, what's your name.

911
00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:28.159
He's like, my name is Gladdie
or and then he turns his back

912
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.960
on him. Yeah, you will
not tell me your name. Yeah,

913
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:35.400
my name is Maxrus, Maximus Demus
medius. My name is Maximus des blah

914
00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:38.239
blah blah blah blah. Father to
a murdered son, husband to a murdered

915
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:43.599
wife, and in this life for
the next alf vengeance, Yes, vengeance.

916
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:45.960
Yeah, he picked up like an
arrow. He was like ready to

917
00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:46.880
kill him then and there, but
I think because the kid was there,

918
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:51.840
he didn't kid was there, and
yeah, just kind of started to plot

919
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:52.599
out his Yeah. I like that. He's like, oh, man,

920
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:55.559
I better not kill this man in
front of this child. It's like,

921
00:56:55.599 --> 00:57:00.400
I think he killed ten thousand people
in front of a million people just a

922
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:02.519
second ago. I think there were
some kids in the audience there, buddy.

923
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:05.360
But I mean then he starts to
realize, you know, that he

924
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:07.800
that he could possibly hurt this kid
as well. And I think it's also

925
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:09.840
like, Okay, he was blinded
by the vengeance part. He's like,

926
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:13.719
wait, but if I just die
here after killing him, nothing really gets

927
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:16.559
fixed. We gotta like figure out
how to fix rome. But yeah,

928
00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:21.760
I like how like Communists was not
expecting it to be him, and he

929
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:25.320
was like, oh shit shit himself. Yeah, he's like because then he

930
00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:29.920
says, you know that even his
men went back, which I guess there

931
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.320
was still someone alive when they when
he ordered Maximus to be killed. But

932
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.960
oh yeah, he's like light to
me. In Germania, they were like,

933
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:39.400
yeah, yeah, I said that
he was dead, so yeah yeah

934
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:45.119
nope, dude. Ye. So
Communists is about to have him killed there

935
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:50.320
because of all that, but the
crowd loves him surrounds his men. They're

936
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:53.440
like, live live, live live. You won the crowd. H you

937
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:57.440
won, the crowd won the crowd. I love there's like through this through

938
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:00.559
even like this first battle in the
cow Sham and then also when all this

939
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:04.239
is happening, Yeah, you get
shots of Proximo up top and he's like

940
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:07.719
smiling and he's enjoying all of it. He's like, yeah, he's winning

941
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:09.920
the fucking crowd, baby, yeah. And Commedist is like, I can't

942
00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:15.639
kill him, make a martyr out
of him. Yeah. Then here afterwards,

943
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:19.119
Maximus is approached by Lucilla, who
think he thinks he's an assassin,

944
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:22.599
but his best assassins. I love
that line. Yeah, yeah, but

945
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.599
I love that. She's like,
hey, other people hate commedists too,

946
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:30.159
and we can like arrange like a
thing. He's like, get out of

947
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:34.079
here. I hate yo, No, get out of my face. Yeah.

948
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:39.000
Then there's another battle between Maximus and
Titus of Gullah, who has the

949
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:43.400
coolest armor ever, with that weird
phase. Coolest armor. But how do

950
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.440
you fight in that? I know, how do you fight? Apparently not

951
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:50.360
well? But he was an undefeated
gladiator. Yeah, they say like an

952
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:52.599
undefeated champion, although I thought Proxima
was. Maybe he wasn't a CHAMPI I

953
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:54.920
heard that as well, but yeah, yeah, I guess it's different.

954
00:58:55.480 --> 00:59:00.360
But yeah. He is played by
svennel Thorsen, who is was Arnold's stunt

955
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:04.480
double, I believe, but also
in a bunch of Arnold Schwartzenegger movies he

956
00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:08.920
was. He was one of the
Barbarian dudes that Conan fights, was one

957
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:13.639
of the bad guys henchmen and code
in the Barbarian Uh, in a ton

958
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:17.280
of movies. He's in that movie
right behind you a braxis with Jesse Ventura.

959
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:22.199
Oh and uh, that is a
I mean he's both of them are

960
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:27.400
friends with Arnold and that is the
biggest Terminator rip off ever. If I

961
00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:29.760
was Arnold, I would be like, hey, buddy, why did you

962
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:30.960
do that? He was like,
all right, buddy, go ahead.

963
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:35.800
The only reason I bring that up
is I think I might be the only

964
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:40.119
person who has ever cosplayed as that
character. My friend mister Lobo. My

965
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:44.199
friend mister Lobo played a Practis on
his show, and he wanted me to

966
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.239
be. His name is Secundus in
that movie. You wanted me to besa

967
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:51.239
So I bought the red flannel and
that that gray vest I was wearing all

968
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:52.559
winter along. I don't know if
you saw me wearing that, it was

969
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:55.719
because I bought it for that.
I ended up really liking that best.

970
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.760
So yeah, so I dressed just
like that. I'm sitting there, I'm

971
01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:07.920
like, I don't think anyone's ever
costplayed this guype before, but he did?

972
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:10.559
Anyone know who you? Well?
I didn't everyone in the studio because

973
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.039
if I did it in public,
people be like, what the are you

974
01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:17.920
kidding? So that fight is awesome, but like, I like how the

975
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:23.960
Emperor's like, yeah, he won't
live. I arranged it. Fucking tigers

976
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:30.559
coming out. Yeah, and again
this is another one. If they did

977
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:34.000
this now, be all digital tigers
and it would look but yeah, which

978
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.960
they used real tigers, and then
they also had a stuffed animal tigers.

979
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:38.559
They had stuff animals, and they
did use some digital stuff like when it

980
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:45.519
falls on top of Kurt Russell or
the sorry Russell Crow, when it follows

981
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:47.480
the top of Russell Crow, it's
or a stunt man. It might be

982
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:51.519
a real tiger, but they show
like the sword digitally going through it.

983
01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.000
You could tell it's a digital sword. Yea. So it was a mixture

984
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:55.320
all of them. But yeah,
it's a fun. Like I love that

985
01:00:55.360 --> 01:01:00.000
one shot where like the tiger swipes
and it almost gets him, almost gets

986
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:02.159
him, dude. Oh yeah,
this whole fight scene is fantastic. I

987
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:05.639
said the last fight scene was the
best, but this one might be depending.

988
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:07.599
Yea, this one was awesome.
I love when he like stabs him

989
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:12.320
in the foot and then the blood
comes out of that creepy mass looks like

990
01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:15.480
he looks like a Roman Michael Myers
and that I can see that. Yeah,

991
01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:20.440
he spits up the blood and yeah
he he wins, and then you

992
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:27.280
know the Emperor does be inaccurate.
Yeah this and then uh Maximist spares him.

993
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:31.280
Yeah he defies the emperor. He
defies him, and then someone screams

994
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:36.679
out back sims the merciful and then
they're like, wait, he kills people

995
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:44.559
and sometimes he lets him live.
This guy fucking pasts man. What is

996
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:49.079
happening right now? How do you
love this man? Jesus, I'm killing

997
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:52.639
you all like I killed my father. Yeah. Communist talks to Maximists and

998
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:55.079
he brings up his kids. Yeah, don't talk about his kids. Yeah,

999
01:01:55.280 --> 01:02:00.760
messed up up. It's like,
dude, you're tempting here, buddy

1000
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:05.159
to fade here. His wife moaned
like a yeah, or when they ravaged

1001
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.880
her and his kids squilled like a
pig. Yeah, she's he really got

1002
01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:12.239
in his face on that. Dude. She had enough to get killed the

1003
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:15.159
guy's wife and kid, you don't
have to frag he's coming in his neck

1004
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:19.599
right there. Also, he wasn't
there. He doesn't know, he doesn't

1005
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:23.760
know. Can they happen? Maximus
and Juba they bond some more. Yeah.

1006
01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:27.239
I think this is when he has
the fagures and he's like praying to

1007
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:30.679
them. Well, he meets his
uh right after this fight is where he

1008
01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:35.119
meets his servant Maximus. Yeah,
the character he's like Hey, what's up.

1009
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:39.639
It's like your soldiers are fat and
board, they have new superiors and

1010
01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:44.679
they're just kind of waiting around something
to do for him. They would go

1011
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:46.000
to war with Rome, which is
pretty wild to me. What do you

1012
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:51.440
say, five thousand men or five
hundred? Yeah, but like to go

1013
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:55.239
to war with Rome just because of
your general dance Again this there's honor and

1014
01:02:55.320 --> 01:03:00.360
respect in history. There's been plenty
of coups where generals have taken and like

1015
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:05.000
soldiers and like, we're overthrowing the
government today by strength and honor though,

1016
01:03:05.119 --> 01:03:07.320
love it. And then he sent
him over to Kanye Nielsen for him to

1017
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:09.400
be like, yeah, excuse me, miss. He's tried to you know,

1018
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:12.599
be like, you know, quiet
about it, like I knew your

1019
01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:14.519
father. I knew your father.
And she was like, nah, it's

1020
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:19.239
cool. I still serve Maximus.
Yeah, this guy should have listened to

1021
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:21.679
him. Yeah, come on,
come on. And that actor has those

1022
01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:23.719
actual scars, yeah right, some
people don't know that, but yeah,

1023
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:25.960
because I remember watching a couple of
movies with this guy, like he was

1024
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:29.199
an only versus predator and a few
other ones, and people are like,

1025
01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:30.320
what's up with the scars? Like
now he just has them, right?

1026
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:35.079
Is he also the dude from He's
not still the same dude from Sons of

1027
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.039
Anarchy? Right? I think he
wasn't right Sons of Anarchy right? Same?

1028
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:40.159
Yeah? I love that show.
And then also with Kim with the

1029
01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:45.199
with his with his lip in this
Yeah, that's like it also like you

1030
01:03:45.239 --> 01:03:46.519
know, maybe he got you know, you can play it as like maybe

1031
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:50.320
he got stabbed as a child,
cut as a child or something, but

1032
01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:53.679
he just looks so good in that
role. Or maybe he he fell into

1033
01:03:53.719 --> 01:03:58.280
a train car with a lion and
then went to whip the lion but then

1034
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:00.760
cut himself. Oh you know.
That was his brother in Indiana Jones and

1035
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:03.920
The Last Crusade, which I reviewed
on this channel. I'll go check it

1036
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:08.320
out now. To River Phoenix was
his older mother. I know, har

1037
01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:12.039
I peak, I'm too soon help
a family though talented family, yeah,

1038
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:15.239
which the rest of my family was
a talented Just kidding. They are better

1039
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:19.039
be careful. It was a joke
as a joke. Real quick channel update.

1040
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:25.199
I did a compilation video of my
Blair Witch reviews. I'm gonna start

1041
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:28.360
doing something. I have plenty of
playlists, but I don't think you guys

1042
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:31.599
see them. So I'm doing compilation
videos where like a franchise of movies I'm

1043
01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:33.920
gonna put together. And yeah,
the first one I did was Blair Witch,

1044
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:38.400
and I saw a lot of bring
back Tricia. We want more Tricia.

1045
01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:41.119
You can watch that right now and
watch my sister and then watch me

1046
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.719
back to back. What a family, what a talented family. They all

1047
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:47.000
want Tricia back. And I'm like, I don't know if Frank will get

1048
01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:50.840
like jealous. No, we'll get
you. We should have invited her to

1049
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:54.840
this one. We should have.
I didn't realize she was gonna be back

1050
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:57.440
so soon. Yeah. Yeah,
she texts me, She's like, I'm

1051
01:04:57.480 --> 01:04:59.960
back in America. I'm like,
oh fuck, I probably should have invited

1052
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:02.000
her to Gladiator, but it's too
late. Now. She doesn't even watch

1053
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:06.840
his she likes. She only watches
real Italian stuff. This is this is

1054
01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:11.559
fake history. Well I got her
to do the other Ridley Scott Italy movie,

1055
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:16.000
Annibal. She did not like.
She did not like exactly. So

1056
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:20.800
yes, uh, Maximus is now
conspiring with the Senator what's his name of

1057
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:34.719
scratch scratch Brad. He looks like
a bread Yeah, they conspire with him.

1058
01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:38.320
It's like Okay, we're gonna buy
your freedom. We're gonna get you

1059
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:42.440
out of here. You will then
reunite with your army who is loyal to

1060
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.840
you and are willing to do all
this stuff with you. Technically, is

1061
01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:48.840
it's still buying his freedom or sneaking
him out. It's either way, right,

1062
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:51.559
same thing. Maybe not a literal
buying, but you know, sneaking

1063
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:56.239
them out. So yeah, we're
gonna do that. You're gonna come back.

1064
01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:59.480
We're overthrowing rome. Yeah, so
that's the plan. He was like,

1065
01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:01.159
if you know I'm relying on you, I'm trusting you right now because

1066
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.639
if you can't do it, I'm
fucking dead as well. Yep. So,

1067
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:08.559
which is a lot to put out
there. Yeah, busy bees and

1068
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:13.920
then uh commodists. He gets suspicious
of Lucilla again, and then he gets

1069
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:16.320
incesty again. He's like, will
you lay with me? Yeah? Will

1070
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.679
you lay with me? He's laying
on her chest exactly, yeah, and

1071
01:06:19.719 --> 01:06:23.599
he tells her to like stay in
his room then night and open her mouth.

1072
01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:26.639
And again it's like twenty Montana.
It's like you have everything, but

1073
01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:28.960
you want the one thing you know
you're not allowed to have. You could

1074
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:31.480
be surrounded by all the women in
the world, but you want your sister.

1075
01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:34.639
And if that's the second time I
brought up twenty Montana. If you

1076
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:40.800
were wondering, I do have a
scarface review. I have a scarface review.

1077
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:45.920
Check it out. If Alpaccino did
such a good Cuban accent, I

1078
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:49.119
reviewed that with my cuban, Fred
Wild. The episode is literally called how

1079
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:56.199
Cuban is Scarface? Would you rather
Russell Crowe in the world? Yes,

1080
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:00.599
she realizes like, oh, we
better beat up this plan. This plan

1081
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:04.320
needs to be sped up. I
mean he also starts to I think get

1082
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:08.400
an idea there that chess up to
something. Yeah, well, ye,

1083
01:07:08.679 --> 01:07:16.000
Lucius fucks it all up playing he's
playing gladiator with those servants. Uh,

1084
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:20.119
and he slips and goes, I'm
maximist, the Savior of Rome. I'm

1085
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:25.039
sorry, what was like? What
did you do? Where did you hear

1086
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:29.519
that? And what a fucking rat
Lucius is? What a fucking rat?

1087
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:33.400
Rats out his own This kid right
gets a little bit older. What Twenty

1088
01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:39.159
years later he was in a wonderful
show Animal Kingdom on TNT, which had

1089
01:07:39.159 --> 01:07:40.880
a lot of fun with them.
Watched the movie, but the show is

1090
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:45.280
really good, But he is a
possible rat in that show as well.

1091
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:47.559
So the kid's just always been a
rat. But he does a really great

1092
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:50.360
job. I really love the show. And he was he was Barren Zimo's

1093
01:07:50.440 --> 01:07:56.880
son and Agents of Shields, you
know, that really popular villain from the

1094
01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:01.159
comics that they had dy in five
seconds and then too well, they had

1095
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:04.760
his son have a whole storyline and
the Vengers two time, and then some

1096
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:11.800
lady crushed his head with telekinesis the
kid yeah what yeah, but he was

1097
01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:15.800
also an unbreakable and Glass I think
brought him back for Glass. He didn't

1098
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:19.199
die. Baron Zemo did not die. For the record, Baron Zimo did

1099
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:23.640
die. Yeah, they brought him
back for the show Falcon I win a

1100
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.640
shoulder. Do you watch it?
No, I'm sorry, not Baron Zemo.

1101
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:32.479
Oh shit, uh oh my god. There was a guy with like

1102
01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:38.119
a monocle. He's like a very
famous hydra bag. Oh I'm blanking on

1103
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.119
his name. You're right, it's
not Baron Zemo. Just cut all that

1104
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:45.479
out. No, he still mentioned
it the Bad Guys too, where everyone

1105
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:46.920
was like, that's a big bad
guy. And then he died off screen.

1106
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:51.319
His son had a whole plot line, Oh I forget zuvi, don't

1107
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:57.840
whatever. He turns into the computer
screen. No different, different guy,

1108
01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:01.520
all right? Uh yeah, so
Lucius fucks it all up. He's he

1109
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:06.159
like has given his uncle a little
too much information. Yeah, and I

1110
01:09:06.239 --> 01:09:11.279
like he's like reading the story to
the kid and looking at the mom basically

1111
01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:13.840
like, I you know what you
did? I know what you're playing.

1112
01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:15.520
I mean as soon as she walked
in, didn't saw that or son wasn't

1113
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:19.680
there, so he was with the
uncle And then great acting, by the

1114
01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:24.600
way, by by both of them, I mean from from Kinnie Nielsen and

1115
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:29.920
Wikim Phoenix right being just a down
straight up still dude, her crying there?

1116
01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:31.560
What was it? Uh? So
good? What am I? Writing

1117
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:36.439
classes in college? I remember the
professor like professor brought this scene in on

1118
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:42.760
like how to like build like tension
using like you know, without outright saying

1119
01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:45.880
stuff. And it's like that's a
really well done scene. Yeah, just

1120
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:47.479
telling us, Yeah, yeah,
I'm telling us how like the story can

1121
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:50.000
reflect what's happening. And then he's
telling him to get a point. Kids

1122
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:53.399
starts to kind of realize it a
little bit and he's like, did I

1123
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:56.199
fuck up? I think I fucked
up. I fuck up, mom.

1124
01:09:56.560 --> 01:10:03.680
Little Bee told to him everything.
So yeah, they they know they're coming

1125
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:09.159
for the gladiators. Uh, Proximo
buys them all time. He releases all

1126
01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:14.520
of them and he so this is
where Proximo was. There was digital Yeah,

1127
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.560
okay in the like exchanging of the
keys and talking by the gate right

1128
01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:21.359
there and uh, you know,
uh Maximus saying, you know, are

1129
01:10:21.359 --> 01:10:25.359
you in danger of becoming a good
man? He's scoffed. I love the

1130
01:10:25.359 --> 01:10:28.880
scoff and he's like, oh,
walks off. He's likes shit. But

1131
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:30.279
it's cool. It's cool to know
that, you know, like because this

1132
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:32.840
was all supposed to happen in the
shadows and he was supposed to get away

1133
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:36.239
and Proximo was like totally fine with
it and this and that. But to

1134
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:40.720
you know, have the guards right
at his door and him knowing like,

1135
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:44.600
no, I will choose to be
a good man today whether I fucking die

1136
01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:46.479
or not. Yeah, really killed
it and he gets killed. He gets

1137
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:51.119
killed in it, sadly, but
yeah, the other gladiators kind of buy

1138
01:10:51.439 --> 01:10:57.239
Maximus time. Juba survives, but
the big guy doesn't. He doesn't,

1139
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.119
which is wild. I mean,
they just like resting piece other cone in

1140
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:04.560
the Barbarian wouldn't you think that they
would like try and kill them all for

1141
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:08.079
rebelling or were they just like,
you know, all right fine, like

1142
01:11:08.119 --> 01:11:10.319
you know everybody did, Like did
they just stop fighting at one point and

1143
01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:12.399
they were like fine, you got
me a yeah? Or maybe some of

1144
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:15.279
them didn't, because he does say
like if you want no part of let's

1145
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:18.680
go back to yourselves. So yeah, And you think Proxima left that his

1146
01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:23.399
armor and his and his sword down
there for him to coming, Well,

1147
01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:25.720
I think that was the plant because
the plan was for him to escape out

1148
01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:28.680
the back and then meet up with
that guy, So I think he knew.

1149
01:11:28.840 --> 01:11:30.960
I think they might have put it
there for him. I just think

1150
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:33.439
it's cool to have you know,
uh Proxima die and then him come down

1151
01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:35.840
and be like, oh man,
I really left is for me. It

1152
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:39.640
also feels like a video game,
like oh I got the armor. Yeah.

1153
01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:45.079
As of this record, I've been
playing Residueble for and it's one of

1154
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:47.000
those things where like the game takes
away all your items and you have to

1155
01:11:47.039 --> 01:11:50.079
find all your items in like another
room and you don't have all your I'm

1156
01:11:50.119 --> 01:11:54.479
like that reminding events like I have
lost for this mission. I have to

1157
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:56.880
do it without my weapons, but
I get him at the end of the

1158
01:11:56.960 --> 01:12:00.920
level, or let me grab these
and then go see if my friend knows

1159
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:03.479
that, you know, this is
all we're all getting sucked the're not because

1160
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:05.760
I mean, at that point,
with Maximus running out, you'd think that

1161
01:12:05.800 --> 01:12:09.279
he'd kind of stay away from his
buddy because he knows that, you know,

1162
01:12:09.399 --> 01:12:12.039
they're they're deal is shot right there, but yeah, yeah, not

1163
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.600
dude. But now he gets out
there, the guy tries to warn him

1164
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:17.479
and then he gets hung and then
shot with arrows like yeah, no,

1165
01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:28.439
dude, and then just straight up
on right there, hold on s s

1166
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:43.800
okay, yeah, okay, wait, okay, we're good. Sorry.

1167
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:46.039
I just wanted to make sure I
didn't is it? Is it wring this

1168
01:12:46.079 --> 01:12:49.880
scene? Don't they like kill people
that are sleeping in a bed with a

1169
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:53.920
snake? Isn't that? Doesn't that
happen during the scene? So yes,

1170
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:57.680
And I guess it's one of the
senators. Yeah, so you would think

1171
01:12:57.720 --> 01:13:01.760
that because right before this they go
they arrest the other one, arrest Brady,

1172
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:08.239
but they arrest him and then I
guess the other senators. Yeah,

1173
01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:11.359
but I mean I get because I
guess we saw three or four of them,

1174
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:15.479
but there was one senator who was
like kind on yeah communists aside,

1175
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.520
But yeah, I guess I remember
they like put like a snake inside the

1176
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.680
bed inside the other guys. But
but I mean there's the one senator that's

1177
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:25.560
really on his side and with him
trying to you know, conduct it all.

1178
01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:29.520
But and then yeah, I mean, but wouldn't you just kill the

1179
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:32.880
main the senator that was helping you
know, Maximus right off the bat,

1180
01:13:32.960 --> 01:13:35.479
like you just you know, chop
his head off. But maybe they didn't

1181
01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:39.439
know. Yeah, maybe they wanted
to make sure it was known that he

1182
01:13:39.479 --> 01:13:43.600
was a trainer before they killed him. Also, also Connie Nielsen told the

1183
01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:47.640
commedists everything like you think that she
was. Yeah, she did kind of

1184
01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:51.399
like not even like she really spilled
the beans. You gotta do what on

1185
01:13:51.520 --> 01:13:55.760
which we call it Princess Leia did
in Star Wars. Yeah, when they're

1186
01:13:55.760 --> 01:14:00.439
like where's the rebel bass and she
names some other planet she thinks spare and

1187
01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:02.319
they blown up like you know,
you're lying, it's definitely not there.

1188
01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:06.199
You gotta give him like you're like, okay, they're actually here. I'm

1189
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:09.960
like, oh, I guess they
changed the plan. They're not here or

1190
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:12.279
they you know, give him enough
time to get away or say like,

1191
01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:15.640
oh it in the morning, they're
gonna do this or something not tonight at

1192
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:20.640
midnight. But yeah, yeah,
Maximus fell into the trap and now he's

1193
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:25.720
gonna fight the Emperor. Really loved
this scene where he's chained up. Yeah,

1194
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:28.880
really love that. I love the
emperors out. The costume design is

1195
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:30.359
really good, even if it's not
the most accurate. So I love like

1196
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:33.239
the white suit that he has.
They want an oscar for yes, so

1197
01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:39.479
costume sound. Russell Crowe won Best
Film, I think as well something else.

1198
01:14:40.319 --> 01:14:42.920
But yeah, no, this whole
scene where he's you know, coming

1199
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:45.680
at him and he's like, you
know, good Man, good Man once

1200
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:50.359
told me U when you die blah
blah blah blah blah, and he's like,

1201
01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:53.399
who said that. He's like,
is it true? He's like,

1202
01:14:53.399 --> 01:14:57.119
I don't know. I'm talking about
your dad. You were there. I'm

1203
01:14:57.159 --> 01:14:59.760
like, oh, you're getting under
his skin. No, it's your father.

1204
01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:02.680
Yeah, Like it's because I think
Maximus might know he's fucked. He's

1205
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:05.640
like, if I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna remind this fucking cry baby.

1206
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:09.000
Yeah, that his dad didn't love
well, I mean, like he

1207
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:12.479
I guess he wouldn't think that he
was gonna just stab him right then.

1208
01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:15.399
I assume I would assume in that
case, I'm like, there's no way

1209
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:16.399
this guy's gonna let me do a
fair fight. So yeah, he does

1210
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:19.279
stab him, more like he mortally
wounds. But I love when he's like

1211
01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:23.520
embraced me as a brother and then
he goes in and just stabs the shit

1212
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:25.920
at him and he's like right in
the long dude. Yeah, he's like

1213
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:28.199
and he's like, can seal the
moon? Get him out there. If

1214
01:15:28.239 --> 01:15:32.039
I was Maximus, I would have
just killed over because then the people would

1215
01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:35.479
have been like, oh they ever
cheated. I would have been like,

1216
01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:41.119
I've been stabbed there. I mean
you can you can see because I feel

1217
01:15:41.159 --> 01:15:44.520
like even the sister kind of notices
when they first come out that he's like,

1218
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.039
you know, holding his arm down
and he's limping a little bit,

1219
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:49.920
like you know that he you know, fucked with him a little bit before

1220
01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:56.520
the fight. Yeah, but even
even a half dead Maximus could beat the

1221
01:15:56.640 --> 01:16:00.439
shit out of confidence. He's so
over confident. But I like the commedist

1222
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:02.800
goes to cheat again. Then suddenly
his guards who've been on his side,

1223
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:05.520
they're just like, yeah, you're
gonna respect soul, give me a soul,

1224
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:09.760
and he's like shield, just san. He's got a really great voice

1225
01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:15.079
for that. By the way,
that came out weird, But yeah,

1226
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.800
I love it. But this whole, this whole fight, this whole like

1227
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.960
you know, hand to hand combat. I mean, all the fights in

1228
01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:24.239
this movie are fantastic, That's why
I love it, but the hand this

1229
01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:28.680
is not the most like entertaining,
but it's most satisfying because like, he

1230
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:30.439
really has a coming and I like
that. He's just not that good of

1231
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:35.039
a fighter. He's okay, but
clearly he's never been in an actual fight

1232
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:38.600
where his life was on the line. The only other time you see him

1233
01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:41.520
fighting is in the very beginning of
the movie when he has like eight guys

1234
01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:44.439
around practice. It's all his own
men, and he's like, oh,

1235
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:46.159
look at me fending off these eight
guys. But yeah, but that's all

1236
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:49.800
practice. Show pretty much, you've
never been in danger before in your life,

1237
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:54.119
and now you're gonna go up against
the best general of all time.

1238
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:58.279
You're gonna go up against a general
that became a slave a slave that became

1239
01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:00.560
a gladiator, a gladiator that the
i'd an emperor. Yeah, that's who

1240
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:03.640
you're gonna go up against because you're
gonna lose. It's a lot like every

1241
01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:06.479
damn time. It's like a lot
like Cone of the Barbarian, you know,

1242
01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:12.760
he was a slave gladiator and then
King. Also kind of like that

1243
01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:15.640
movie The Northman that we reviewed and
No One Way, kind of like that.

1244
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:20.279
Just add adding some acid and you're
good. I do like all the

1245
01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:25.439
rose Pedals coming down here because I
remember one of the things I remember from

1246
01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:29.079
the commentary track. It's like,
well, they're like, tell us about

1247
01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:30.680
the rose Pedals. He's like,
well, I tried to do it in

1248
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:32.399
the movie Legend and it didn't look
that good, so I decided to do

1249
01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:34.720
it again here to get it right
this time. I mean, I do

1250
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:39.840
love Legend, but the Roses are
you know, really you know, kind

1251
01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:43.000
of adds to the to the bloodshed
and they love and it's like, you

1252
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:45.439
know, Maximus is the last time
he saw Roses was when the Emperor was

1253
01:17:45.479 --> 01:17:48.560
coming into town. And now a
new emperor is about to be born.

1254
01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:54.359
Yeah again, baby, he kills
commence Wait what? Yeah, he likes

1255
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:57.840
stazzled like in The Throne too.
It's pretty brutal, like that late outfit

1256
01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:00.199
gets so dude, love this,
love the you know, they have that

1257
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.479
that close encounter moment for a second
of staring each other in the eyes and

1258
01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:08.920
Comma is knowing, knowing that you
know, this is it and how could

1259
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:11.439
he have fucked this up? He
stabbed him in the lungs before the fight

1260
01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:15.239
and he's still gonna win. And
then he goes to stab him into the

1261
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:18.079
throat and he actually stabs him six
inches to the left and just goes,

1262
01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:21.600
you know through, and then you
can kind of see that he didn't stab

1263
01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:26.880
it all and it comes right back
out. Every time I watch this film,

1264
01:18:26.920 --> 01:18:29.880
did I see it? Because Russell
Crowe grabs him by like the side

1265
01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.840
of the neck and he and he
stabs him with it, but then there's

1266
01:18:32.920 --> 01:18:36.039
like and they're trying to hide it
with his shoulder and like just see what

1267
01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:39.840
Keen's face and this and then like
going in and out of the blood.

1268
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.199
But the way that he's stabbing and
the way that he's joking is like it's

1269
01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.039
going in there. Yeah. But
then there's a shot right at the end

1270
01:18:45.039 --> 01:18:47.800
when he goes to pull it out
where you see he's literally just sliding it

1271
01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:50.960
with his hand all the way out
next to his trash movie. No,

1272
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:57.079
I know, I'm just saying back
all the oscars, five oscars, give

1273
01:18:57.159 --> 01:19:00.920
him back now. Now we didn't
just bother, so we didn't really bring

1274
01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:06.079
up the true story. Did you
know a movie can be historically inaccurate and

1275
01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:10.520
still be fine. No, yeah, no, no, no, this

1276
01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:14.079
all happened. There was a big
controversy with the movie based on the true

1277
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:20.439
story there h However, in real
life, Yeah, this emperor was actually

1278
01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:25.079
killed by someone. Yeah, not
a gladiator. He was killed by a

1279
01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:29.439
wrestler, which I used to do
in high school. And he was killed

1280
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:34.439
while taking a bath. Was how
imagine if the end of this movie was

1281
01:19:34.520 --> 01:19:39.640
Joaquin Phoenix just naked in the bath
and then just like another naked guy came

1282
01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:45.279
in and strangles Russell Crowe. It
was just naked, thick slopping. He's

1283
01:19:45.319 --> 01:19:47.239
just strangling the guy in of it, just how the movie ended. I

1284
01:19:47.239 --> 01:19:49.520
mean, if this whole thing was
based on real events, then you really

1285
01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:54.399
wouldn't have a good movie. So, yeah, you're a very different movie.

1286
01:19:55.079 --> 01:19:59.880
Russell Crowe coming in with like a
one of the Mexican wrestler suits in

1287
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:04.960
he's a real Spaniard. Oh but
yeah, that is in real life the

1288
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:11.359
Communists. He was killed by a
wrestler in while taking a bath. Again,

1289
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:16.319
this movie is just using history to
tell its own story, which has

1290
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:21.800
been done since Shakespeare's time. People
have been taking true stories and you know,

1291
01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:25.560
manipulating them, changing them to whole
thing. I mean it's a great

1292
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.960
film. Yeah, yeah, like
that's that's Sometimes I do have problems with

1293
01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:34.000
like biopics or like historical picks.
Usually when it's this far back, I

1294
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:39.359
tend not to care. Yeah,
I mean the recent like Elvis one,

1295
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:42.880
I wasn't like thrilled about because I
liked Elvis. It was good, but

1296
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.319
like you have like fifty years of
his life and you kind of have to

1297
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:47.920
pick the stuff, and it's like, I'd rather you just give me like

1298
01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:51.039
these five solid years than to try
and fit the fifty. But then there's

1299
01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:55.880
movies like Cocaine Bear. Yeah,
it's like that happened where it's like,

1300
01:20:56.520 --> 01:20:59.960
as well, no, no,
no, Cocaine Bear, here's what happened.

1301
01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:02.079
Okay. I actually have the whole
review of it on movie Dumb,

1302
01:21:02.119 --> 01:21:06.199
so I reviewed it. I wore
I dressed up in a bear with cocaine.

1303
01:21:06.720 --> 01:21:11.960
Here's the true story of Cocaine Bear. A guy was flying, he

1304
01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:15.319
emptied a bunch of cocaine out of
his plane. He parachuted it and died.

1305
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.439
Days later, they found a bunch
of cocaine, and then they found

1306
01:21:18.439 --> 01:21:23.560
a bear who died of a heart
attack. That's it. That's it.

1307
01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:26.640
And the bear doesn't even die in
the movie, so that part didn't even

1308
01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:31.279
know. Dude, spoilers due the
whole movies. Bullshit, there was no

1309
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:36.199
bear rampant. If what happened in
the movie happened in real life, dude,

1310
01:21:36.279 --> 01:21:41.079
it would be the most talked about
thing of all time. It's impossible.

1311
01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:44.279
It wouldn't it wouldn't be real.
I still hear about that elephant in

1312
01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:46.199
the nineties in that one country.
It went on a rampage and just killed

1313
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:49.479
a bunch. I still hear about
that. I've never heard of the Cocaine

1314
01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:53.920
Bear because it's all bullshit. Dumbo, right, Yeah, it's dumbbo.

1315
01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:58.439
Tim Burton's Dumb's what I thought.
That's what I thought. So, yeah,

1316
01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:00.920
he kills the emperor. Yeah,
he gives out his final wishes because

1317
01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:03.680
he's technically emperor. Now for five
second, my men, there was a

1318
01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:09.279
dream there that was Rome, give
Rome back to the people. Obviously he

1319
01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:13.000
was not the last emperor. Reelius
had a dream that dream. I looked

1320
01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:15.479
up the last emperor of Rome,
and I forgot to write his name down.

1321
01:22:15.880 --> 01:22:25.319
But there were emperors after this.
They like lift him up, they

1322
01:22:25.359 --> 01:22:29.000
take him out. And then afterwards
Juba, who is now free. I

1323
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:31.720
guess he escaped or well they maybe
they freedom. Maybe he just escaped or

1324
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:34.319
in that whole thing. Uh,
yeah, I don't. I mean they

1325
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:38.279
freed because he said free my men, and then all of his men came

1326
01:22:38.359 --> 01:22:40.760
running up to help him out.
Also, you get that you know shot

1327
01:22:40.760 --> 01:22:43.800
again of him soldiers, but yeah, I guess it could have been the

1328
01:22:43.800 --> 01:22:45.439
gladiators too. You also get that
shot of him, you know, hovering

1329
01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:48.680
them now heat now yeah, and
he meets his family and was fantastic.

1330
01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:53.439
I mean, I love the music
with that with him, you know,

1331
01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:58.640
hold holding his hand out rubbing against
the long grass and the fields. And

1332
01:22:58.680 --> 01:23:00.199
then you get the whole shot of
his of his house and his farm.

1333
01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:03.600
It's just it's so beautiful, dude. It really is. The dark sky's

1334
01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:06.960
coming overhead. The lightning bowl and
then I know, and it's it's hard

1335
01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:11.800
to recreate. It's hard to create
moments like this with like the cool imagery

1336
01:23:11.840 --> 01:23:14.119
and the Hans Zimmer music. I
mean, Zack Snyder tried, and he

1337
01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:18.199
embarrassed himself and failed horribly in Man
of Steel. At the end of this

1338
01:23:18.239 --> 01:23:20.319
movie. I always cry at the
end of this movie because when he sees

1339
01:23:20.399 --> 01:23:24.680
his wife and kid again, dude, and the kid finally sees that,

1340
01:23:24.720 --> 01:23:27.039
you know, he's homes it's the
same exact thing. She's like, you

1341
01:23:27.079 --> 01:23:29.119
know, hey, go run to
your dad. The same thing that you

1342
01:23:29.119 --> 01:23:30.760
don't happened in the way beginning when
the kid was run over by a horse,

1343
01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:33.840
But this time he really embraces his
dad and sees his dad and then

1344
01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:36.880
oh god, it cry every time. But Connie Nielsen is all like,

1345
01:23:36.960 --> 01:23:41.439
go to them. And then that
door that you see is actually the door

1346
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:45.119
that in Gladiator too he comes back
out of and he starts time traveling and

1347
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:48.960
doing all this crazy, you know, just the kind of movie. Juba

1348
01:23:49.039 --> 01:23:54.199
berries the figures in the coliseum,
Yeah, did you did you find those

1349
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:58.800
figures? Are they still there?
So they are encased in glass? Did

1350
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:02.640
you go there and there she signed
by the real Maximus. Oh, the

1351
01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:06.279
real it might not have even been
a real person, not Russell Crowe,

1352
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:15.960
autographed wrestler, greasy wrestler in bathtub
beside Maximus, Decimus Meridius vengeance. He

1353
01:24:16.000 --> 01:24:19.199
goes, I'll see you, I'll
see you soon, but not yet.

1354
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:25.239
And then now we are free song
plays, so not yet. They're making

1355
01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:30.920
a contes sequel to this. Now
you looked up with because I heard what

1356
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:32.640
the original sequel is going to be, and you looked it up. What

1357
01:24:33.119 --> 01:24:39.000
was Gladiator two or what will Gladiator
two actually end up each? So I

1358
01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:43.239
don't know what this second one will
be, but we both have ideas of

1359
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:45.880
what it was supposed to be years
ago. And I read a script that

1360
01:24:46.039 --> 01:24:51.600
was a time traveling Maximus that was
jumping around all different points of time in

1361
01:24:51.680 --> 01:24:56.199
all different battles and historical eras,
so that he's not just you know,

1362
01:24:56.279 --> 01:24:59.640
in the Gladiator era. He's all
over the place and fighting all different kinds

1363
01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:02.840
of bat because he's an awesome general. Yeah, I heard one thing.

1364
01:25:03.119 --> 01:25:05.920
I remember hearing one that might have
had a little time travel, but like

1365
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:10.960
he was like fighting like the Roman
gods, almost like a god of war

1366
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:14.720
sort of thing. But but like, you know, Italian not Greek.

1367
01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:19.920
So I heard that they're not Sicilian
at all. Yeah, but I heard

1368
01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:24.840
that. I was just like,
that sounds awful. I mean, if

1369
01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:29.359
you're good to a sequel, I
guess, get creative with it instead of

1370
01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:31.840
just being like I am a different
gladiator. But also, what what do

1371
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:33.800
you do with Russell Krowe? Like? I guess you did? So.

1372
01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:36.600
I know that Padre Pascal is signed
on. That's all I know. If

1373
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.840
you know more out there, let
us know. But I haven't left.

1374
01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:44.640
I'm sorry, I'm out too much. You don't. I want to see

1375
01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:46.439
the movie he did with Nicholas Cage, but it's just too much awesome.

1376
01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:50.720
So just I mean, he just
kind of, you know, like hit

1377
01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:54.520
all the sweet spots at the right
time. You know, people liked him

1378
01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:58.359
and started kissing him, and then
Laureans sucks the last of us though,

1379
01:25:58.439 --> 01:26:00.920
dude, list I didn't bother.
I have played the game. I didn't

1380
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:04.319
play the game. Still watch its
awesome. It's really well done. Dude,

1381
01:26:04.359 --> 01:26:09.720
too much Peter Piscale. People think
he's better than It's fine, it's

1382
01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:12.279
fine, He's okay. One day
you're gonna be like too much. Frank

1383
01:26:12.359 --> 01:26:15.960
Foolby's everywhere right now. I will
never say that. Neither were people in

1384
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:18.760
the comments hopefully not. They're like
not not enough Frank. But he does

1385
01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:25.159
need to get closer to the mic
because because I'm about to be everywhere soon,

1386
01:26:25.359 --> 01:26:28.800
baby, coming to you soon my
my goal. I'm counting down the

1387
01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:30.640
days to where, like, you
make it big and then you have to

1388
01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:35.359
disavow me. That's what I'm really
looking forward to. No, I,

1389
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:41.399
when I make it big, I'm
only coming back here for interviews, only

1390
01:26:41.479 --> 01:26:44.760
coming to hack the movies for interviews. That is it. So if you

1391
01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:46.520
want to interview me, you gotta
hire him to come out and talk to

1392
01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:54.560
yeahs in my contract, you're Gladiator
three, you better not disavowling because if

1393
01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:58.159
you're in any movie, somebody like
this would sucks. Would have been better.

1394
01:26:58.479 --> 01:27:00.880
Frank wasn't in it, or even
when I am in it, you're

1395
01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:05.720
like this, Frank, this kind
of sucks. Man, Gladiator three going

1396
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:13.720
through the multiverse, I don't know. Yeah, I look, I never

1397
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.199
saw Exodus Gods and Kings. I
have a copy of it. It was

1398
01:27:16.239 --> 01:27:20.039
all right. I was kind of
excited for it. But yeah, the

1399
01:27:20.119 --> 01:27:26.039
last Ridley scrap. Thing I liked
was the Martian so supposed to be with

1400
01:27:26.079 --> 01:27:30.840
this Gladiator script as well, when
they before they started shooting it, Ridley

1401
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:34.159
and Russell sat down, Did you
just say supposedly? Are you not allowed

1402
01:27:34.159 --> 01:27:40.880
to say supposed No, I think
it's supposedly. But someone comments someone in

1403
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:43.880
the comments? When did they just
say supposedly? And I'm like, fuck,

1404
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:45.680
did I or Franks say that?
But the fact that you just said

1405
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:50.479
it. I don't tell Chris because
she says everything. I'll never hear the

1406
01:27:50.560 --> 01:27:57.199
end of it. Keep going.
But supposedly they sat down together and they

1407
01:27:57.279 --> 01:28:00.680
chopped up this script to where they
only had twenty two p so right before

1408
01:28:00.720 --> 01:28:08.720
they like started shooting, they supposedly
were writing. They started writing the script

1409
01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:14.479
as they went and uh yeah,
kind of like they they supposedly laugh when

1410
01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:17.079
they I'm gonna stop saying that.
Damn. Where when they won all these

1411
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.239
oscars they kind of laughed at each
other and they were like, how the

1412
01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:24.399
fuck did we do this? They
were like, what the hell? Just

1413
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.079
hell. I've seen like some of
the stuff they've worked on since, and

1414
01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:29.239
some of it's like, okay,
I think one guy wrote like a couple

1415
01:28:29.279 --> 01:28:32.960
of the Daniel Craig Bond movies.
I know one of them did Alien Covenant,

1416
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:38.159
but yeah, that's the thing.
Ridley Scott hasn't wowed me in like

1417
01:28:38.199 --> 01:28:42.399
ten years. Really he's shooting or
a producer. I think he directed one

1418
01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:45.399
episode of a TV show that was
just recently shooting in Philly a couple of

1419
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:50.880
months ago. I did pa work
behind the scenes on it and Ridley was

1420
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:54.560
on set, but I didn't see
him. I was very upset because I

1421
01:28:54.560 --> 01:28:57.079
wanted to meet him and tell him
I would still want to meet him.

1422
01:28:57.119 --> 01:29:00.439
I wanted to meet him and how
Gladiator is my favorite film of all time,

1423
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:02.279
So you know I'm probably gonna get
ragged on that. I don't know

1424
01:29:02.319 --> 01:29:06.760
all the facts of this movie,
but it's my favorite of all Italian dude,

1425
01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:13.920
you think I've said that to him, glad He's like, oh great,

1426
01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:17.159
another Italian? Yeah great, you
love it. You love the Kyl

1427
01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:20.039
Sam kid. You're like, I
love that one. And my second favorite

1428
01:29:20.039 --> 01:29:24.600
movie is the Christopher Columbus movie you
did, because that was about another Italian.

1429
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:28.920
If I ever met him, I'd
be like, hey, Hannibal is

1430
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:31.159
underrating. I'm sorry, Hannibal is
like really good and people need to get

1431
01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:35.600
over eight. It's really good.
Yeah, but yeah, glad Eater too.

1432
01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:40.000
Look, i'll see it. I'll
probably do one of our live wrap

1433
01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:43.079
up episodes on it. Yeah,
I don't think I'm going to dedicate a

1434
01:29:43.119 --> 01:29:45.239
full episode to it, to be
honest, I mean it really just unless

1435
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:50.560
this episode does really well, it
really depends on you know what the story

1436
01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:55.840
is about. If it's if you
can take this and use it as like

1437
01:29:55.960 --> 01:30:00.880
even Lucius or Maximus has a son. Maybe Lucius turns out to be Maximus's

1438
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:05.720
son. He's played by Pedro Piscal
And now it's thirty they spring back that

1439
01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:11.119
actor Patro Miiscale is like way older
than that actor that was. Maybe Patro

1440
01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:15.239
Piscal is Maximus's brother, Okay,
and they're saying that he's the new gladiator

1441
01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:21.800
Maximo. But it goes backwards.
It goes to an emperor who became a

1442
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:27.479
gladiator and became a slave and then
became a general. Is that work?

1443
01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:30.000
Is that copy? Baby? Maybe
I'm not excited for it either way.

1444
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:32.560
I'll give it a shot, alright, I mean give it a shot.

1445
01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:36.560
But I probably should have watched some
more Ridley Scott movies. Maybe I missed

1446
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:40.399
a good one here or there,
but he was just kind of disappointing me.

1447
01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:45.119
I mean, yeah, and uh
that is Gladiator. It's a good

1448
01:30:45.319 --> 01:30:48.880
story. I was gonna say simple. It's a simple like you know,

1449
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:54.279
the guy loses everything is to get
everything back. It's a nice revenge story.

1450
01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:56.920
Good. It's kind of like a
like, you know, Punisher would

1451
01:30:56.920 --> 01:30:59.319
be a modern day of this.
Yeah, you got you got a hero

1452
01:30:59.479 --> 01:31:01.279
that you could root for. You
got a villain that you can hate,

1453
01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:05.840
great villain black and white there,
you got your your gang of merry men

1454
01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:12.039
that are behind the side, characters
that you can We got you the multicultural

1455
01:31:12.119 --> 01:31:14.840
side, characters that are going to
help them. You got the really big

1456
01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:16.279
dude, you got the foreign guy, and you got the main guy,

1457
01:31:16.399 --> 01:31:20.479
the one always see Like, I
think one reason some people, well,

1458
01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:24.560
there's some people don't like this movie
because the inaccuracy. Some people think it's

1459
01:31:24.640 --> 01:31:29.279
overrated because the story is kind of
like a simple revenge thing. I do

1460
01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:32.239
see some people say there are parts
of me that are boring. I do

1461
01:31:32.319 --> 01:31:38.800
think maybe the political espionage, but
it's so I'm not bored. I'm not

1462
01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:41.800
bored by but I can see how
people might be like, all right,

1463
01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:45.359
kind of lulls for a little bit
where it's just people talking. It's kind

1464
01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:50.159
of like a Roman princess broad.
Yeah, you got the foreign guy,

1465
01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:53.239
you got the main guy, and
you got the big guy, and they

1466
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:55.840
all come together and they all hang
out and they go through there. There

1467
01:31:55.920 --> 01:31:59.800
they're fun together. But no,
I mean, I either I give this

1468
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:02.359
movie a ten out of ten because
there's there's no fat to me that you

1469
01:32:02.399 --> 01:32:06.239
need to trim off every scene.
And they trimmed the fat because I mentioned

1470
01:32:06.239 --> 01:32:11.399
those deleted. I should check out
the extended cut to see, like what's

1471
01:32:11.439 --> 01:32:14.000
in there. There's still two hours
and thirty minutes. Is that what it

1472
01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:15.199
is? Two thirty five? It's
like around there. Yeah, still a

1473
01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:17.800
long movie. But I mean,
I don't know. I just I've always

1474
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.119
loved it. I always love it
too. The soundtracks, right, I

1475
01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:25.079
usually just put the soundtrack on when
I'm going on one of my many nature

1476
01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:29.680
walks that I do lately. Thanks
to viewers like you rub your hand on

1477
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:31.520
the tall grass as you walk,
I do, and then bugs bite me

1478
01:32:31.560 --> 01:32:35.720
and I'm like, oh, then
I started sneezing from allergies. Thanks to

1479
01:32:35.840 --> 01:32:40.439
viewers like you who keep the show
going. Yeah, I get to make

1480
01:32:40.479 --> 01:32:43.359
my own hours sometimes, and Frank, there are some days where I'm just

1481
01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:45.640
like, I'm ahead on work and
we go to the park. We're gonna

1482
01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:48.279
go to the park being get him
getting healthier. We're go to the park

1483
01:32:48.359 --> 01:32:51.640
after this as it's too late to
go to the park. I was gonna

1484
01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:54.760
get it. They have a window
now they know when it's nine time.

1485
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:57.119
I was gonna get my sword and
sandal and we were gonna, you know,

1486
01:32:57.199 --> 01:32:59.680
go out. Right at the time
of this recording, I dropped a

1487
01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:01.680
bunch of wait, you look good, and this time you can't tell them

1488
01:33:01.640 --> 01:33:03.840
where in the ship. And this
time I'll keep it off. Frank,

1489
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:09.159
I'll probably game it all back.
I usually do. But yes, thank
