We continue our deep dive into Roman historical fiction with the review of Gladiator 2 starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington. We discuss what the movie is saying about the people of Rome and the people of today, whether the movie borrows too much from Gladiator, how Rome reminds us of the Dallas Cowboys, all the different animals that could be used to fight humans, movies that have better sequels than originals, and what happens if your boss makes their dog your manager.
