Uncut Gems Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of the show we are beginning our September with the Old Duke, a short survey of movies John Wayne made when he got older. This week we talk about McQ, a movie where The Duke tried to catch up to the stoic silent cop movies like Dirty Harry  and Bullitt. In our conversation you will hear us talk about movies being written around John Wayne and whether he needed to move on with the times, the allure of a police procedural and whether the intense plotting in this movie makes it a bit more forgettable. We also talk about the logistics of firing lots of rounds in six seconds, maintaining a low profile in a muscle car and much more!

In this episode of our 2024 Spike Lee Retrospective we are touching base with Inside Man. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk at length about Spike Lee in the mid-2000s, Denzel Washington and Chiwetel Ejiofor playing good cop-bad cop, Clive Owen's brief moment in the limelight and the idea of bringing New York together as a melting pot. We also talk about hiring easily recognizable sidekicks, getting a shave in weird basements, and the idea of spending a week behind a wall with only a hole in the ground as company.

In this episode of our ongoing 2024 Spike-a-Thon we are finally getting to his 2002 joint 25th Hour. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many reasons why Spike Lee would have gravitated to David Benioff's book, how this movie tries to grapple with the looming spectre of 9/11 and how it speaks to all New Yorkers with whom Spike Lee feels immense kinship. We also talk about Edward Norton's method acting and old man makeup, Barry Pepper as a criminally underrated character actor, whether it's a good idea to attend night clubs where your students hang out and much more!

In this episode of the show we are touching base with our ongoing Soderbergh project by talking about Haywire.

In this episode of the show, we are putting a bow on our short exploration of the professional partnership between Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner by talking about the 1995 Waterworld! Joined by our special guest Jackson Boren, the widely recognized defender of this movie, we discuss the lore surrounding this film's troubled production, the story of how the two Kevins fell out of love with each other and how this movie functions as a western, a Mad Max ripoff and an environmentalist cautionary tale. We also talk about how to correctly pee into a cup, opine on the Ulysses Cut, share some hot takes about world-building and much, much more!

Here's a short teaser of the sixth episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes.

In this episode of the show, we are discussing the first collaboration between Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner, which was also Reynolds' feature debut, the 1985 Fandango! Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how this movie fits within the grand legacy of Hollywood hangout movies, how it relates the Vietnam War-era anxieties, and how it also may have something to say about the filmmaker's own life experiences. We also touch on the genesis of Costner as a maverick star, rogue filmmaking and the crazy idea of expanding a short movie in two directions at once!

The Uncut Gems Podcast is a CLAPPER production

Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show. This month we are pairing our Bonus podcast to a complement this month's theme on the professional partnership between Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner. Therefore, it is only logical to take a stab (or maybe fire an arrow at it) at their biggest box office success, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about Kevin Costner being out of shape, Kevin Reynolds maybe being out of his depth, the accent debacle, Alan Rickman unhinged, and a possibility this movie owes more to Return of the Jedi than meets the eye.

In this episode of the show we are preparing for the upcoming theatrical release of Oppenheimer by talking by Christopher Nolan's arguably most underappreciated movie, the 2022 Insomnia. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about what potentially drew Nolan to the project, why Steven Soderbergh may have passed on it, Robin Williams' era of playing against type, the movie as a second cousin to Heat, the setting giving the story an upside-down feel, and much more!

Over the course of our chat - which turned out to be a massive reunion recording - you will hear us talk about the thematic depth of an otherwise lean indie film, Sasha Grey's dramatic range, Matt Damon's comedic chops, Richard Lester, movies about people who think they are in movies, subtle winks at cinephiles and more!
