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. In this bonus bonus tie-in episode we are piggy-backing off of our last week's celebratory Jurassic Park chat and jumping into some more Spielberg in anticipation of the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. We are talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark, the anatomy of a set piece driven spectacle, Harrison Ford's charisma, snakes, Nazis and much more!

Episode 125 - Westworld and Futureworld

1 Recommendations

In this episode of the show, we are opening what we jokingly call Michael Cricht-June, a short series of episodes devoted to the work of Michael Crichton. Therefore, it only makes sense to start with his directorial feature debut Westworld, as well as the 1976 follow-up to this movie, Futureworld. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Westworld as a protoplast to Jurassic Park, you will hear us wonder if this is a disaster movie, a speculative fiction, a proto-slasher or a combination of all three, and also how its inventiveness filtered into the culture and inspired many other filmmakers. In addition, we also talk Futureworld and its doomed mission to follow up an instant classic, Peter Fonda's hair, Yul Brynner invading your dreams and much more!

Episode 126 - The Andromeda Strain

In this episode of the show, Michael Cricht-June continues with The Andromeda Strain, a Robert Wise-directed first-ever adaptation Crichton's debut novel. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the shifting sands of science-fiction, Wise putting himself outside of his comfort zone, the idea of science-fact as an alternative to science-fiction, how the movie connects to the COVID pandemic, how it depicts scientific processes in cinematic way, our thoughts on the frequent deployment of split diopters and if lasers can give you a concussion!
