|
| | Saw X | The long-running horror franchise is back with more Jigsaw and more traps—and more murderous mayhem. Saw has long been one of the most intricately plotted horror series, and the 10th installment promises to be a memorable one. | Add to watchlist |

| | | “With the internet pointing out that men seem to think about the Roman Empire with alarming frequency, what can I watch to maybe figure out their obsession?” | Men are simple creatures; who knew they spent so much time pondering a fallen civilization? If you’re curious what keeps their brains busy, here are three things to check out (no surprise, they’re pretty dude-centric). | | Rome | This and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator might be the twin pillars of men’s Roman Empire obsession—and this is borderline soap opera with its over-the-top tales of adultery and betrayal (and plenty of James Purefoy full frontal). | Where to watch |
|
| | Spartacus | You could watch the Stanley Kubrick film, but this cable series has so much more sex and male nudity, why not choose it instead? Gladiators wrestle and rumble and roughhouse each other and nobility in equal measure across three seasons. At least Lucy Lawless is there! | Where to watch |
|
| | The Eagle | If you’re going to investigate the Roman Empire, you might as well do so with a Channing Tatum vehicle! Yes, Tatum stars as a Roman soldier in search of a missing shield, aided by his ex-gladiator slave Esca (played by Jamie Bell!). | Where to watch |
