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. Watch the show on YouTubeBuy Zach’s newest book, Something Strange at Grandma’s House: https://www.steellakestudio.com/booksSign up for our E-MAIL LIST: https://www.steellakestudio.com/emailTIMESTAMPS0:00 Welcome0:32 New Topic1:30 Runaway Dog12:20 Game of Thrones and Shock Value24:30 SLS/Podcast News30:00 Best Picture (Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down)1:00:00 The Gladiator1:07:30 Our Favorite Quotes from Gladiator1:11:00 Inspiration for the Film1:16:00 Fun Facts about Gladiator1:22:00 How Important is Historical Accuracy1:30:45 Rising Tension Perfected1:38:00 A Role Model Hero1:45:00 Influencing Zach's Writing1:50:00 How Well We Know this Film1:53:00 GoodbyeThank you so much for checking out Parallel Quest.
