Hello,

Hello, Prestige Head's

Welcome to American

Hello, Prestige Heads and welcome to American Prestige. I'm Danny Bessner, here as always with my friend and comrade Derek Davidson.

And we're very excited to welcome back to the podcast today. History hunk Patrick Wyman. You know Patrick.

And he's also the host of the podcast Tides of History and the Pursuit of Daddliness.

Those are two separate podcasts and you should listen to them.

So we've invited Patrick to talk about Gladiator 2, but before we do, I just want to make clear.

We're not actually talking about the fake Gladiator 2 that was just released in theaters.

We're talking about the original Nick Cave script.

That's right.

There's only one gladiator to.

In which Maximus organizes the Christians of Rome against his own son, Lucius, who has been

persecuting Christians after his mother was stoned to death by them.

And then Maximus also lives for eternity and fights in Vietnam, the Middle Eastern Wars,

and becomes head of the Pentagon.

So Patrick, what did you think of Nick Cave's script?

I'm just kidding.

We're talking about Ridley Scott's new Gladiator 2 movie.

So Patrick, I guess before we get into a bunch of the things, what did you guys think of the movie?

I thought it looked kind of

like not very good. It looked a little bit dog shit, especially compared to the original.
