Jim O’Hanlon’s latest comedy offers a refreshing break from the typical holiday season filled with special effects-heavy blockbusters and overly serious Oscar contenders.

Over the past 40 years, movies like Braveheart have proven to be enduring classics, and there are many others that deserve to be remembered.

DeKnight, who previously ran the Daredevil series, discussed his goal of bringing the gritty realism of ancient Rome to life.
