The Black Guys on White Movies Show

How white is GLADIATOR (2000)? dir. Ripley Scott.

• Aaron Covington • Season 5 • Episode 58

Gladiator is peak dad cinema, no one is aruging that, but it's also an audacious film. Who gets to tell what stories in history? We look at the classic film's depiction of race and ethnicity. We talk about America's self-proclaimed right to tell any history it wants to and what that's about. 

Side note, Bernard is a Roman History major so he had a lot to say about the movie and that period time!
