In this episode, hosts Cam & Dylan take a deep dive into the cinematic colossus that is Ben-Hur (1959) — the epic historical drama that defined an era of filmmaking. From chariot races to betrayal, vengeance to redemption, the guys break down what made this film a monumental achievement in Hollywood history.

Directed by William Wyler and starring Charlton Heston, Ben-Hur swept the Oscars with a record-setting 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Based on the 1880 novel by Lew Wallace, the film tells the powerful story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince betrayed by his Roman friend and forced into slavery, only to seek revenge and find spiritual awakening in the time of Christ.

Cam & Dylan go beyond the surface with their signature mix of hot takes, humor, and behind-the-scenes trivia. Whether you're a fan of old-school epics or just love hearing passionate movie talk, this one's got xtra butta all over it.
