"This week on Primal Screen, Flick Ford discusses with guest reviewers Thomas Caldwell and Stuart Richards this week's upcoming releases. The Roman Empire is on everyon's minds as Gladiator II is released onto the big screen, recieving the blockbuster roll out fit for an emperor. Directed by Ridley Scott in follow up to his 2000 classic and starring the muscled-up Paul Mescal, find out whether this large-scale sequel lives up to its promise of epic entertainment. In contrast to this mighty title, Flick, Thomas and Stuart discuss the quieter film Memory, directed by Michel Franco and starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard. The film's unique examination on the nature of memory, as a means to uncover hidden truths as well as cloud true recollections makes for a wonderful discussion.
