When Award Winners were Great | Gladiator

<p>In 2000, the new Millennia brought one of the teams favorite movies, Ridley Scott's Gladiator, starring Russel Crowe. Growing up this was an important movie in the lives of our teenage selves, from the great battle scenes to the script full of one-liners. Even though the final product is something that the guys love, that doesn't mean the production was without its fair share of hiccups. The script full of quotable lines was anything but easy to work with. The relationship with Proximo (Oliver Reed) and Maximus (Russel Crowe) on screen was somewhat reflective of the difficult relationship that these two had off-screen. Historical accuracy was  something that the film strived for but it was not accurate enough to satisfy everyone. </p><p>Watch the show on <a href="https://youtu.be/52gRoK9n3rg">YouTube</a></p><p>Buy Zach’s newest book, <i>Something Strange at Grandma’s House: </i><a href="https://www.steellakestudio.com/books">https://www.steellakestudio.com/books</a></p><p>Sign up for our E-MAIL LIST: </p><p><a href="https://www.steellakestudio.com/email">https://www.steellakestudio.com/email</a></p><p>TIMESTAMPS</p><p>0:00 Welcome</p><p>0:32 New Topic</p><p>1:30 Runaway Dog</p><p>12:20 Game of Thrones and Shock Value</p><p>24:30 SLS/Podcast News</p><p>30:00 Best Picture (Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down)</p><p>1:00:00 The Gladiator</p><p>1:07:30 Our Favorite Quotes from Gladiator</p><p>1:11:00 Inspiration for the Film</p><p>1:16:00 Fun Facts about Gladiator</p><p>1:22:00 How Important is Historical Accuracy</p><p>1:30:45 Rising Tension Perfected</p><p>1:38:00 A Role Model Hero</p><p>1:45:00 Influencing Zach's Writing</p><p>1:50:00 How Well We Know this Film</p><p>1:53:00 Goodbye</p><p>Thank you so much for checking out Parallel Quest.
