The dailies are in and we’re watching Spartacus! Our 20th episode and 2nd of the Tony Curtis run, this EPIC (in length) film is one of Curtis’ more iconic roles despite how little he’s actually in the film. But, even with the sparse material he gives a HELL of a performance alongside Kirk Douglas in this Stanley Kubrick piece. So, pour yourself some Posca (or regular red wine) and hit play — Brewvies is back!
