"It's Called A Movie: Episode 1 – Gladiator"
Impassioned movie reviews with insight into a movie's best of themes, characters, actors, music, and quotes. Focused not on the technical but on the emotional. An auditory essay... kind of. A stream of consciousness made for the layman moviegoer, by the layman moviegoer. Dive in for a swim.
