Pop Culture Pastor

🏺 It's time for a Be Kind Rewind! Join Dave, Cody, and Jackson as they dive into the epic world of the 2000 film "Gladiator," directed by the legendary Ridley Scott and featuring a stunning score by Hans Zimmer. This episode is packed with nostalgia, humor, and deep insights as the hosts revisit one of the most iconic movies of the early 2000s.

The hosts explore the film's standout performances, including Russell Crowe's unforgettable portrayal of Maximus and Joaquin Phoenix's chilling Commodus. They also delve into the movie's historical inaccuracies, the incredible battle set pieces, and the surprising merchandising tie-ins that accompanied its release.

With a mix of personal anecdotes and thoughtful analysis, Dave, Cody, and Jackson discuss the deeper themes of heroism, legacy, and the echoes of our actions in eternity. They also tackle the age-old question of which character they'd be in the movie and have a blast "Muppetizing" the cast.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of "Gladiator" or just love a good movie discussion, this episode is a must-listen. And don't miss next week's episode as they dive into the much-anticipated "Gladiator 2."
