210 - Is Gladiator II a Worthy Sequel? | Quiet On Set Podcast
Prepare to be entertained in Ridley Scott's sequel to Gladiator (2000). Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and Joseph Quinn star in this action-filled battle about strength and honor. But is it entertaining? They also caught A Different Man, an A24 film about an aspiring actor who undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. Ewan finished The Penguin and watched Look Back & Dune: Prophecy. Lachlan is catching up with Arcane and wonders if 2024 has been the best year for blockbusters. New trailers for Secret Level, The Return, Nutcrackers, The Amateur, Mufasa & Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning have been released.
MAY DECEMBER is Deliciously Awkward
It's that time of the year when the films that premiered at Cannes finally release for all audiences worldwide and among them is this week's movie May December. Ewan shares his love for Todd Haynes filmmaking while Lachlan loved the movie more for its technical achievements rather than narrative ones. Ewan also caught some Christmas-themed movies like The Holdovers and «It's a Wonderful Knife» and they both sat through the horrible Family Switch, why? - they still don't know. Lachlan (re)watched a couple more Ridley Scott movies including Thelma & Louise and Gladiator and is very excited for the live-action Fallout series that just premiered its first trailer. Finally, Furiosa, The Boys Season 4, and House of the Dragon Season 2 all premiered their first trailers this week.
