ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS BY BOB DYLAN and GLADIATOR: Reviewed!
This is Sparta!! Wait, I mean, Rome! Wait, I mean, the CCCAH! You know the hour. The Cultural Content Appraisal one. But hey, much like Rome, The Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour™ is one of the most important ancient civilizations(?) Out of the many important ancient civilizations out there. You know the ones. Anyway, I bet y’all are right tuckered out from all the news and current affairs. So many newspapers, so little time eh? If it’s not one current affair, it’s another. The apocalypse is nigh etc, we’ve all been there, done that and are waiting on the t-shirt (and other assorted merch). But right now there are important things we need to discuss here on the show of shows. The pod of pods. The most fan-backed and yet Patreon-less podcast to ever approach 100 episodes.

The cover of Rough and Rowdy ways can be marvelled at and understood more thoroughly here: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/how-a-56-year-old-photo-wound-up-on-the-cover-of-bob-dylans-upcoming-lp-997105/
Laura Tenschert of the wonderful Definitely Dylan pod prepped you good and proper for Rough and Rowdy ways after I Contain Multitudes and Murder Most Foul had come out, back in the heady days of 2020: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Cc4HwMi8do88CMP7C2jh5?si=7e1a8555fc6745a8
Bob Dylan spoke to Douglas Brinkley about Murder Most Foul because sometimes in this world cool people talk to cool people about cool stuff d’you know what I mean (see a selective few episodes of this podcast for further examples of this phenomenon): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/arts/music/bob-dylan-rough-and-rowdy-ways.html
Gladiator can be watched here. I’ll tell you this much about the ITV app: I did enjoy the ad breaks. Lengthy. Like watching on old terrestrial tv. Time to put a brew on. Go for a walk. Go to the loo. Call your loved ones and have a quick natter. But no, the lack of a quick rewind-ten-seconds button or something similar continues to infuriate also: https://www.itv.com/watch/gladiator/1a7758
The audio commentary for the extended cut of Gladiator can be listened to here, featuring Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO6ik4J3h0w
The audio commentary for the theatrical cut features Ridley Scott, John Mathieson (director of photography) and Pietro Scalia (editor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUxjg7OUn4
Oh the wonders of watching all these people react to watching the end of Gladiator for the first time. Maybe if we can find some younger hosts to take over from us, they’ll start pitching cool shit like this instead of movies. Who watches “movies” these days anyways? Oh right, the people in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXjywLg4EXk
Gladiator 2 trailer is here. See you on the special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts0N8swyWFI
