Spartacus
05/27/14 • 67 min
Bill and Renan take on Spartacus (1960), the last film Stanley Kubrick would ever not have complete control over. A big Hollywood epic and a film classic according to most, Spartacus is still a flawed (and overlong) picture, but one with a fascinating back story. (1:07:55)

Previous Episode
Paths of Glory
Bill and Renan consider Paths of Glory (1957), a stunning anti-war film starring Kirk Douglas as a French officer. Still regarded as a classic, this is considered a turning point in Kubrick's career, and it gave us multiple excuses to bring up The Wire, not that we really needed any. (1:19:03)
