In this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into Zack Snyder’s hyper-stylized war epic, 300 — a film that turned history into a comic book battlefield. Is it a bold artistic statement or just a barrage of abs and blood? We break down its cultural footprint, iconic visuals, and quotability (yes, this is Sparta gets discussed), while also asking the real question: does 300 still hit like it did in 2007?
We evaluate the performances (Gerard Butler yelling his heart out), Snyder’s direction, and the influence of 300 on action cinema. Plus, our "Guess That Film from Letterboxd Reviews" segment returns with some epic commentary from the crowd.
Stick around as we score the film on cultural impact, craft, critic and audience reception, and give it our final verdict: Overrated or Underrated?
