Brandon and Eric invite Jay and Erin to help break down this classic!

We're kicking off the month of November in a big way. Front Row Classics tackles the mammoth-sized epic, Spartacus. Brandon and Eric are joined by Jay Hoffman and Erin McCabe from Front Row Flashbacks to discuss Stanley Kubrick's classic film. The group discusses the film's timeless theme of the fight for human rights as well as the legendary all-star cast including the late, great Kirk Douglas.  We also spotlight how Spartacus was a timely comment on both the Civil Rights Movement and Hollywood Blacklist of the 50s and 60s.
