Gladiator: Is This the Most Perfect Movie Ever Made?

Sebbo and Tobler take on Gladiator, the film they've been putting off because it's Sebbo's all-time favourite. They break the movie down scene by scene, arguing over the greatest lines of dialogue, the most underrated character, and whether "Are you not entertained?" even deserves its reputation. Along the way: Hans Zimmer's score, Proximo's redemption, and a Rusty Crowe tribute to end all tributes.
