In this epic episode of Better Remembered, we’re joined by guest host Jason as we dive into Ridley Scott’s masterpiece, Gladiator. Follow the journey of a former Roman General who seeks vengeance against the corrupt emperor responsible for his family's murder and his descent into slavery.
But the conversation doesn’t stop there! We explore the fascinating world of Rome during the age of Marcus Aurelius and discuss the enduring art of building with stone. John discovers Joaquin Phoenix’s, and we celebrate the golden era of AMC’s incredible lineup of shows. Plus, John and Jason delve into the vital role of honey bees in our world.
Finally, we take a nostalgic trip back to May 4th, 2000, as we ask the burning question: is Gladiator better remembered?
Join us for a blend of history, masonry, and eventually a movie!
