80s Icons 13 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit (teaser)
In this episode of the 80s Icons series, a now bimonthly project where we discuss the more prominent and well-liked movies from the 1980s, we are taking a close look at Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the long and arduous production history behind this movie, how Robert Zemeckis spared no expense trying to mesh live action and animation in a way that hadn't been done before and whether this achievement stands the test of time. We also talk about this movie as a tech-first spectacle where the story is at best secondary, Judge Doom as a weirdly memorable villain, the unique notion of bringing together animated characters from different production houses under one roof and what it meant for the production, Roger Rabbit as the least memorable invention of the movie, Bob Hoskins's singing talent, the idea of wearing noir as a costume and much, much more!Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Carson TimarHead over to our website to find out more!

Episode 302 - Scanners
In this episode of the show we are leaving behind Stephen-King-Tober and begin David-Crono-Vember with a discussion about the 1981 Scanners. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie putting Cronenberg on the map of the stars (sic!) of the American entertainment industry, how it was made on a shoestring with half a script, how it shows its seams and whether it matters or not. We also talk about Michael Ironside and his Jack Nicholson energy, Stephen Lack and his lack of onscreen presence, medical scandals and conspiracies, exploding heads and whether Scanners is a good movie or a bad movie with great moments.

Episode 301 - Pet Sematary
In this episode of the show our Stephen Kingtober concludes officially with a discussion about the 1989 Pet Sematary. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Pet Sematary was a book that King refused to publish and a movie that many studios refused to finance. We talk about the personal angle in the story struggling to make its way into the film, Stephen King as a brand and how the movie captures the scenery of rural Maine. We also discuss the ins and outs of casting very young children in horror movies, taking narrative shortcuts for no other reason than to save film stock and how a potentially great story can be undermined by wooden acting.

BONUS Tie-in 65 - Stand by Me (teaser)
In this podcast we are tying into our month-long conversations about Stephen King's adaptations from the 1980s with a debate about Stand by Me... which also happens to be the only non-horror adaptation we chose this month and deliberately placed it close to Halloween to swim against the current or something. At any rate, over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the reasons why the King brand might have been removed from the movie, Rob Reiner finding himself in the story he was directing and the trials of casting a group of kids in a way that would convey the story's innate authenticity. We also talk about the dangers of yearning after "the good old days," the movie being both timeless and time-specific and how its accessible universality might have been the key to its success.

Episode 300 - Maximum Overdrive
In this episode of the show, which also happens to be the 300th main podcast recording, we are joined by Tony and Rich to discuss the merits and demerits of the 1986 Maximum Overdrive. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Stephen King getting talked into directing by Dino De Laurentiis and making an absolute mess of things on set of this movie, how the production was mired in crises from day one and how it became a movie that can only be loved in a "so bad it's good" way. We also talk about Yeardley Smith's cringe-inducing performance, King being after all a fan of low brow humor, the idea of stretching a concept of The Mist meeting Night of the Living Dead but with trucks into a protoplast of Robopocalypse, AC/DC's soundtrack and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Tony Larder & Rich FosterHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

80s Icons 12 - The Shining (teaser)
In this episode of our ongoing 80s Icons series we are attempting to bite into the gargantuan body of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about - among others - how Kubrick's movie relates to Stephen King's novel, what it retains and what it leaves out and what it does to the narrative. We talk about Jack Torrance as a vessel for weak men and an elevated slasher villain you have to live with, Wendy Torrance as an underused protagonist, Shelley Duvall's emotionally draining performance, Kubrick's directorial snobbery, the moon landing, phallic imagery embedded in carpets, America behaving like a serial killer and much, much more!Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Hillary WhiteHead over to our website to find out more!

Episode 299 - Firestarter
In this episode of the show we carry on discussing Stephen King adaptations from the 1980s and we stop over to debate the merits and demerits of Mark L. Lester's Firestarter. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie struggling to decide if it wants to be a paranoid thriller, a faithful adaptation performed at speed or a spiritual successor to Carrie. We also discuss Drew Barrymore's performance as Charlie, George C. Scott playing a character that should have been played by a Native American, the challenges of adapting a plot-based book and much, much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

80s Icons 11 - A Nightmare on Elm Street (teaser)
With the spooky season upon us it is only appropriate to delve into some horror fare, which is why we decided to discuss one of the most prominent slashers of the 80s, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Wes Craven's frugal approach to filmmaking, the freshness that this movie oozed and how it also introduced one of the most recognizable slasher icons. We also talk how A Nightmare on Elm Street breaks and elevates slasher rules, how it harbors a number of thematic conversations behind its narrative, how it perfectly reflects the unsettling nature of dream logic, how it never forgets to remain self-aware even while crafting some of its iconic imagery and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Tony LarderHead over to our website to find out more!
