The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 01: Mission to Mars
The Uncut Gems PodcastProduced and hosted by Jakub Flasz, The Uncut Gems Podcast is a brand new show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In the inaugural episode of the show, we take a closer look at the mostly forgotten and disregarded science-fiction epic directed by Brian De Palma, Mission to Mars, try to get to the bottom of whether it is a true De Palma feature, to whom it tips its hat and why it bombed mercilessly at the box office when it was released theatrically over two decades ago. As an added bonus, we also expand the scope of the conversation to cover the film’s immediate competitor, Red Planet, which was released in the same year and similarly ended up completely orphaned. Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter as well!
