About this episode
"Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back." Vintage Cinema Rewind charges into battle with their Deep Dive on Ridley Scott's Gladiator! The competition gets steeper for Blake, but the promise of vengeance keeps his senses and his blade sharp. As he conscripts Michael into a planned revolution, they take some time to discuss the set pieces, themes, and characterization that make this epic so memorable. Can a slave defy an emperor? Or is this one big thumbs down?
