Listen now
Description
In 2007 Zack Snyder took the grand challenge of converting a beloved graphic novel into a film. He immediately crammed as many hot dudes as he could find into a gym and began work on his historical action adaptation, 300. Starring the chinniest man of them all, Gerard Butler, as the Spartan king Leonidas who will disobey the council and take 300 of his best soldiers to a doomed battle against the evil Xerxes and his overactive glands.

But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate Spartans going commando and the best way to spear a man as we do our best to figure out if this flick made history, or needs to be discarded.
