Episode 295 - Streets of Fire
In this episode of the show we are continuing our chats about Walter Hill in the 80s by digging into Streets of Fire. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to make sense of what this movie is and what it attempts to do, how it tries to function as a heightened musical set outside of time but somehow informed by western iconography and whether it all comes together in the end. We talk about Michael Paré as a miscast stoic outlaw, Willem Dafoe's ridiculous costuming choices, the iconography and pre-comic book aesthetic doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the movie and 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 10 - Predator (teaser)
In this episode of our ongoing 2026 80s Icons series we are about to find out if it indeed can be killed if it bleeds as we talk about the 1987 Predator. Over the course of our sprawling debate you will hear us recount our early memories connected to this iconic action movie, how Predator was perhaps misunderstood upon release and what made it connect with audiences so profoundly that it spawned not only a movie series but a full-blown multimedia franchise. We also discuss Arnie in the context of a team of muscular manly specimens, Carl Weathers as a guy who ups everyone's acting game, the gamble behind hiding the Predator creature design for so long, practicalities of taking a mud bath in the middle of a game of survival 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 BurrowsHead over to our website to find out more!

Episode 294 - Southern Comfort
In this episode of the show we are continuing our September stay at the Walter Hill Saloon and we are discussing the 1981 Southern Comfort. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us recount the grueling production this movie went through, complete with swamp-induced hypothermia, directorial gag orders and alleged animal cruelty. We also discuss the movie as an allegory of the Vietnam War in direct contravention of what Walter Hill would have liked, the film working as a descendant of Deliverance and an action-slanted progeny of The Hills Have Eyes, how it all reflects perfectly the American foreign policy, how the Cajuns are the real heroes of the movie (according to at least one of the hosts) and how Cajun bluegrass is the kind of music that should come with a health warning.

80s Icons 09 - Commando (teaser)
In this episode of our 80s Icons series we are carving out time to talk about one of the foremost action heroes of the era, Arnold Schwarzenegger. And on this occasion we are discussing the 1985 Commando. Over the course of our sprawling and detailed debate you will hear us talk about how ridiculously quickly this movie came together, how one of its writers Steven de Souza wanted to show Arnold's playful side and how the film ended up competing in the arena of on-screen violence with one of the year's box office juggernauts, Rambo II. We also talk about Commando legitimizing Arnold's one-liners, the idea of humanizing an outsized unit with superhuman abilities by putting normal people around him, the notion that Commando is clearly queer-coded when it comes to its villains 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 BurrowsHead over to our website to find out more!

Episode 293 - The Long Riders
In this episode of the show our 80s Action Solstice is entering its final month. Over the course of the next couple of weeks we will be discussing the 80s efforts of Walter Hill and we begin with the 1980 The Long Riders. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Walter Hill as a filmmaker who had always wanted to make westerns but was born in the wrong era, whether hiring multiple sets of real-life brothers to act in the movie was a gimmick or an inspired choice, and if The Long Riders is Walter Hill's idea of temporarily giving the genre of western a farewell. We also talk about violence in slow-motion as a means of extending internalized nightmares, aestheticizing tattered imagery, the frightening concept of entertaining house guests with a mouth harp and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Jak-Luke SharpHead 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!

Episode 292 - Miracles
In this episode of the show we are putting a bow on our August trip through Jackie Chan's 80s exploits with the last movie he made in that decade, the 1989 Miracles. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Miracles being Jackie Chan's favorite movie he ever directed despite the fact it was mostly rejected by paying audiences, the allure of a period piece and the pattern of successful filmmakers wanting to wear a hat on screen for some reason. We also talk about the idea of adapting a Frank Capra classic and putting kung fu in it, the tonal whiplash some audiences might get from the resulting experience and how the movie, against all odds, might hold a deeper meaning that could explain Chan's particular affection for this movie about guns, roses and roundhouse kicks.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: 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!

BONUS Tie-in 63 - Police Story (teaser)
In this show we are tying into our month of discussions about Jackie Chan in the 80s and we are talking about arguably one of the most daring and and exuberant action movies in his catalogue, Police Story. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie was inspired by Jackie Chan's unfortunate sojourn to Hollywood and how he wanted to make a cop procedural "his" way, how its story was built around stunt-laden set pieces and how the movie ended up dubbed "glass story" by stunt performers because Chan insisted on numerous scenes involving people falling through windows and other assorted panes of glass. We also talk about the controlled chaos of Chan's fight scene choreography, the few instances of tonally jarring comedy featured in the film, the iconic mall sequence featuring Chan's slide down a pillar wrapped in Christmas lights and much more!Tune in and enjoy!

Episode 291 - Armour of God
In this episode of the show we are talking about the well-known video store cult classic, Armour of God. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us discuss this movie as an evolution in Jackie Chan's career as an action star where he's attempting to imitate a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond, but with roundhouse kicks and daredevil stunts. We talk about the film's many tonal inconsistencies, a difficult-to-follow plot and the fact that, in a departure from his previous fare, Jackie Chan's character seems to be completely unlikeable. We also touch on the daring stunt in which Chan jumped on top of a hot air balloon, how he nearly died after falling from a tree, and much more!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!
