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!

John Cassavetes Marathon 05 - Husbands (teaser)

Here's a short teaser of the fifth 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 our 2023 John Cassavetes Marathon we are talking about Husbands, his 1970 follow-up to Faces. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie came together, how the world rejected it and... how the world was wrong to do so. We also talk about midlife crises, getting to grip with your own mortality, finding a place in the world as a man and if we could be friends with any of these three bozos.

Episode 122.5 - Hudson Hawk (Bonus Conversation with Michael Lehmann)

In this very special bonus episode of our show we had a pleasure to talk with Michael Lehmann, the director of Hudson Hawk, Heathers, Airheads and many other movies and TV shows! Over the course of our conversation you will hear him talk about how Hudson Hawk came together, what it was like to work with Bruce Willis and why perhaps people didn't get the movie at the time. We also talk about his most recent project The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, his take on comedy, inspirations, recollections of what Hollywood was like back in the day and what it's like now and much, much more! We had an absolute blast speaking with Michael and we hope you will have as much fun listening to this too!

Enjoy!
