The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 103 (Outland)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe 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 opening our short January series on 80s space westerns by talking about Outland. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Sean Connery transitioning from the leading man to a stately old man, Peter Hyams as an underrated voice in the genre space, the idea of staging a western in space, the film's characteristically organic approach to world-building, the allure of space racquetball and more!
