A Brutally Honest Review Of Gladiator II

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

If you've watched Gladiator II or you just love Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn or Pedro Pascal and need someone to make sense of your feelings, then this episode of The Spill is what you need.  

These are unfiltered thoughts on Ridley Scott's epic action adventure, and from Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington's changing accents (and teeth) to the one question that infuriated the film’s creatives, nothing is off limits. 

This is a safe place to talk about the best and worst moments from Gladiator II.
