The Mikes are standing up to the corruption of Rome and stepping into the ring with Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, and Pedro Pascal in Gladiator 2.

Ridley Scott is bringing us more ancient roman hijinks almost a quarter of a century after his original best picture nominee which won Russel Crowe an Oscar. What did Mike Field and Mike Butler think of this film? Just how awesome was Denzel Washington? Can the young Mescal step into the armor of Crowe?

So, grab your Gladius and sandals, please notice the feral baboons to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
