Spartacus with Richard Lawson
I am Spartacus! I am Spartacus! Heck, we\u2019re *all* Spartacus today as we talk about the \u201csword-and-sandals\u201d epic that solidified Stanley Kubrick\u2019s hit-making potential\u2026and soured him on Hollywood forever. Vanity Fair\u2019s Richard Lawson returns to the pod and we\u2019re covering all the major topics: How did a young Kubrick manage all the different stars on set - many of whom were accomplished directors in their own right? Was Kirk Douglas\u2019 chin cleft real? Did Dalton Trumbo write the script for this in a bathtub? Why does Tony Curtis always sound like he\u2019s ordering something from a deli?\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
