Barry Lyndon (1975), Spartacus (1960), Ran (1985)

Welcome to (perhaps) the largest Extra Milestone yet! In an
Anyway, That’s All I Got reunion for the ages, I’m joined by
Anthony Battaglia, Guy Simons Jr., and Jason Read to discuss
three of the biggest epics of the 21st century! First up is Barry
Lyndon, the passion project of Stanley Kubrick released in 1975,
and a film that’s quite well-loved among hardcore cinephiles.
After that, we circle back to Spartacus, an earlier Kubrick film
that is rarely discussed in the context of his filmography, and
perhaps for just reason! Finally, we jump forward to another one
of the great directors with Ran, Akira Kurosawa’s massive and
operatic masterpiece from 1985, and which only one of us had
seen!
