In this episode, Olivia and Emily (much to their dad’s chagrin) give their brutally honest takes on Gladiator II expressing their frustrations with the film industry and the lack of originality in sequels, and generally wondering why was this film even made? The sisters dive deep into the character developments, the self plagiarized storytelling and confusing moments that define the film. They also analyze Denzel Washington's mismatched tone and the missed opportunity of underutilizing Connie Nielsen (again!!!), and how this film was basically set up to fail from the start. Although, in the end, Emily and Olivia can say technically it is not a bad film, it was one that left them scratching their heads wondering what was the point…
Gladiator II was directed by Ridley Scott, starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington and was theatrically released on November 22, 2024.
