Hollywood made a living for many years on historical epics that became known as sword and sandal films, yet just like the western, they slowly faded as new genres became more popular with the general public.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Zachary Fruhling to talk about Gladiator. We discuss our history with the film, a return, the production value, script issues, the cast, historic fiction, meditations on power, gory games, the music and our ratings.
