Uncut Gems Podcast - BONUS Cutting into Soderbergh 06 - Che (teaser)
play

06/07/23 • 15 min

Here's a short teaser of our Patreon-exclusive podcast series where we will be examining the cinema of Steven Soderbergh. On our main show we are going through his more underrated works, while on our Patreon we are talking about Soderbergh's most prominent movies. This month, we are taking on the epic saga of Che that once again brought together Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro. As we discuss this beast of a movie, conveniently divided into two parts, we talk about its doomed theatrical release, the intricacies of its production, Soderbergh's idea of a big prestige spectacle, reinventing the biopic and wondering how exactly this movie connects to the larger body of cinema.

11/19/21 • 117 min

In this episode of the show, we are doing our level best to hack the planet together with the scruffy (or maybe somewhat futuristically over-dressed) protagonists of the 1995 cult classic Hackers. Over the course of our wild and sprawling discussion we comment on the film's production design, its overall aesthetic and the aforementioned spandex-heavy fashion, talk about the idea of visualizing the concept of hacking using completely unrealistic means, the swaths of comedy embedded within the movie, its cultural footprint and much more. We even postulate that maybe it was a bit ahead of its time in many ways and the audiences were simply not ready for it at the time... just as they were not ready to handle Matthew Lillard's insanely contagious on-screen energy!

Tune in and enjoy!

05/26/23 • 104 min

In this episode of the show, we are robbing auction houses to the tune of elevator jazz as we talk Hudson Hawk! Over the course of our chat you will hear us wonder how this movie came together and how nobody got it at the time. We also try to figure out what this movie is at its core, identify its comedic roots, applaud Bruce Willis' timing, the wackiness of the movie's ideas and how it purposefully undercuts itself with serious action when you least expect it. We also give a final verdict on whether Andie McDowell should pretend she's a dolphin ever again and if mailing yourself to the Vatican is a good idea.

Enjoy!

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!

In this episode of the show, we are moving on from the spooky season vibes and slowly begin are new episode series casually titled "Circling The Matrix" where - in anticipation of Matrix Resurrections hitting the cinemas this Christmas - we will devote a handful of episodes to movies one way or another connected to The Matrix. Thus, we gently dipping our toes in the world of hackers by discussing Michael Mann's Blackhat, a 2015 thriller that aimed to ensnare the audiences with Mann's signature tactile realism used to bring the threat of cyber-terrorism to the big screens. Over the course of our lengthy discussion among other things we are trying to understand why this movie failed at the box office, identify its many conceptual flaws, discuss whether Mann's subsequent director's cut addressed any of those shortcomings, argue over casting choices and suggest that maybe hacking is just too difficult to faithfully depict on the screen without sacrificing something in return.
