November 17, 2023 Episode 147 - All That Jazz
In this episode of the show, we gather to celebrate a momentous occasion, Randy's birthday, and as luck would have it, we are talking about his favourite film ever - All That Jazz! Flanked by a duet of very special guests, Sarah and Jak, we discuss Bob Fosse's New Wave ways, Roy Scheider's phenomenal acting range and the movie's many meta-musical moments. We also spare a thought or two on the subject of film critics not being able to recognize Fosse's genius, the film's many metaphorical planes of interpretation, its subtle sense of humour and much more!

November 15, 2023 BONUS Tie-in 28 - Cabaret (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 gathering to talk about Cabaret, arguably Bob Fosse's most universally acclaimed directorial effort. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder if it is a musical, an evolved musical or an anti-musical, how it comments on world history and whether it is still just as timely as it was when it was released. We also talk about the chemistry (or lack thereof) between Liza Minelli and Michael York, the revolutionary idea of taking the camera onto the stage and much more!

November 10, 2023 Episode 146 - Sweet Charity and Lenny
In this episode of the show, we assemble as The Fosse Posse to gallop through the cinema of one Bob Fosse. We begin with Sweet Charity, his 1969 musical with Shirley MacLaine, and Lenny, his 1974 new wave biopic of Lenny Bruce and his crusade against censorship. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Fosse needing to fail in 1969 to become the master that he needed to be, his inability to kill his darlings in 1969 as well as his acute sense of the visual art just a few years later, his take on cinema verité, Dustin Hoffman's funny bone, free speech absolutism and that you should never show up to an interview without a resume.

November 08, 2023 BONUS Cutting into Soderbergh 11 - High Flying Bird
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, as we are slowly nearing completion of our year-long journey through Steven Soderbergh's movies, we are talking about his 2019 movie High Flying Bird. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about whether Soderbergh was the right man for the job, if it is his Moneyball or Jerry Maguire, how it opens a difficult conversation about racial politics in American sports, and whether it is acceptable to leave boogers in a sauna.

November 03, 2023 Episode 145 - The Laundromat
In this episode of the show, we add another notch to our Soderbergh belt as we talk The Laundromat. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to find something to latch onto in this string of vignettes, make fun of Mossack and Fonseca, stipulate that the movie would have been better if Meryl Streep played all the roles and that Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns maybe just couldn't decide if they wanted to make a serious investigative thriller or a me-too The Big Short.

October 27, 2023 Episode 144 - The Ninth Configuration
In this episode of the show, we put a bow on our William Peter Blatty's Demonic-Tober by talking about The Ninth Configuration. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us pontificate over how this movie is potentially related to The Exorcist, whether its farcical underpinnings do the story any good, how Blatty may be a bit too pretentious for its own good and much more!

October 20, 2023 Episode 143 - Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist
In this episode of the show, we decided against our better judgment to take a close look at Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to find a reason why these movies exist at all, what propelled Paul Schrader to step behind the camera in this instance, whether it is even possible to stage a prequel to The Exorcist and if this franchise has anything to stand on. We also talk about Renny Harlin's directorial talents or lack thereof, Gabriel Mann's background acting, the ability of these movies to slow down time and much more!

October 13, 2023 Episode 142 - Exorcist 2: The Heretic and The Exorcist 3: Legion
In this episode of the show, we are discussing a pair of sequels to the iconic 1973 The Exorcist, namely the 1977 Exorcist 2: The Heretic and the 1990 The Exorcist 3: Legion. Over the course of our chat you will hear us wonder how exactly one is supposed to follow up a cinematic singularity that was the William Friedkin masterpiece, whether John Boorman was the right man to do it and if William Peter Blatty's movie needed an exorcism at all. We also talk about Richard Burton's detective skills, Pazuzu as a villain, carp as a Christmas staple in Poland and George C. Scott's gas.

October 10, 2023 BONUS Tie-in 27 - The Exorcist (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.
In this special bonus episode of our show, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of William Friedkin's The Exorcist. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how The Exorcist was a unique singularity that transcended the genre, how its horror works, and how its legacy continues to this day. We also talk about bridging the gap between science and religion, the horrors of medicine, Friedkin's rogue directorial methods, and most importantly, how this movie affects everyone who ever attempts to watch it.

October 06, 2023 Episode 141 - Unsane
In this episode of the show, we are talking about Unsane, Steven Soderbergh's little indie side hustle he shot on an iPhone after coming out of his extremely busy retirement. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about Soderbergh's experimentalist approach finding artistic elevation in a phone camera, Claire Foy's acting chops, the movie as a politically charge piece of genre storytelling and how it also, on top of being quite poignant, makes very little sense.
