Preview It Yourself 4: Gladiator II (2024)

  • Summary

  • Which film trailer/previews make you want to spend your hard earned cash at the cinema?


    Let Sean and Sarah help with that, by reviewing trailers for upcoming films and a few old favourites.

    Welcome to Preview it Yourself.


    This time around, Sean decides to show Sarah the trailer for Gladiator II (2024). He apologises first.


    Discussion Points:

    -Lower your expectations.

    -The long muted Gladiator sequel ideas.

    -The justification for making the film.

    -The horrendous soundtrack for the trailer and why Hans Zimmer hasn't returned to score this film.

    -Whether the cast can elevate this film like Russell Crowe did with the original.

    -Sean and Sarah also review the Gladiator (2000) trailer.

    -A mini-review of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008).

    -Sarah and Sean try to remain positive.

    -The downgrade from tiger to rhinoceros.

    -Sean and Sarah agree to eat humble pie if the film is good.


    Raised Questions:

    -Is it mean to make someone watch this trailer?

    -Have we gone backwards in making films?

    -Who the hell signed off on the music?

    -Why does the trailer make the film seem like a pantomime?

    -Why would you even dare to make a sequel to such a behemoth of cinema?

    -Would you watch "Aqueduct Shark"?

    -Did the Romans ever have two Emperors at once?

    -Is the cast of Gladiator II too big?

    -Why does Sarah refuse to go camping?


    Quotes of the episode:

    -"What the f**k is this film meant to be?".

    -"If this film is better than Gladiator (2000) then I will shut the podcast down".

    -"This is so 2024 it hurts...what are you doing!?".

    -"I'm making a lot of assumptions on [an awful] trailer".

    -"I don't think people know how to make trailers anymore".
