The Penn Cinema Podcast

Have you ever hated something, like deeply hated something, yet you can't help but also love that thing for how much it makes you hate it? That's Uncut Gems. It doesn't make sense. Join us as we try to wrap our brains around what that means. Sure in a world where Uncut Gems exists anything is possible. For example; You say New Mutants is getting released in April 2020? Can't be, it just doesn't make sense. But maybe that means it makes the most sense. 

Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?

We did it! We went out in public and didn't get chased back into our cave. Let's put that in the books as a win. For real though we held a super fun live event at The Red Rose International Film Festival. A couple guests from the film industry stop by to talk shop, concrete proof that Pirate Dave exists is revealed, and David gets dragged across the coals for his lack of Star Wars love. 

A big thanks to all the people who came of for the show and to those who took time to hang out and chat it up after! We're looking forward to more opportunities in the future to do things like this.
