Also helping us rewrite history in some pretty radical ways is Dr. Monica Cyrino. We talk gladiators, sex, crucifixion and more, everything a growing <em>ludus </em>needs. What does a gladiator-turned-aspiring-nouveau-riche-fight-promoter have to do to get any respect in this town? Who's the worst GM in NFL history? Is love real? Has anyone checked to see if Caesar's alive? Find out the answers to all that and more here on <em>Movies We Dig</em>!</p><p><br></p><p>You can find work from <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/monicacyrino\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Cyrino here on Linktree</a>, including books, audiobooks, YouTube, papers and more!
