The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 102 (Kafka)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

The Uncut Gems Podcast is a 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 this episode of the show, we are cutting deep into Soderbergh's filmography and examining one of his more underrated movies, the sophomore feature Kafka. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder if this movie can function as a biopic, how its structure relates to Franz Kafka's real life, the inspirations drawn from Orson Welles and Terry Gilliam and how, if at all, Kafka can be enjoyed by anyone.

Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter and Instagram as well! You can also support the show on Ko-fi! Also, be sure to subscribe to our Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
