August 11, 2023 Episode 133 - Hardcore
In this episode of the show we are talking about Paul Schrader's Hardcore as we begin our August journey through porn-adjacent days of summer. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how much this movie owes to The Searchers, how hard it must be for Paul Schrader to shake off Taxi Driver, how the movie might be autobiographical in places and how it would have been a different beast if the original ending was kept. We also talk about Schrader's lens he uses to portray the lurid nightlife of LA, the perils of religiosity, the horror of sitting down in a grindhouse cinema, and that Peter Boyle plays the best private detective in the world!

July 28, 2023 Episode 131 - Waterworld
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!

July 21, 2023 Episode 130 - Fandango
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!

July 19, 2023 BONUS Tie-in 24 - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (teaser)
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.

July 14, 2023 Episode 129 - Insomnia
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!
