The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 104 (Spacehunter)
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 talking about Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone as part of our 80s space western January expedition. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits into the legacy of Star Wars, how it borrows a thing or two from The Road Warrior, and how it sets up a few things for Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome to draw from. We also talk about Ernie Hudson's muscles, Peter Strauss as Harrison Ford you can afford and the problematic nature of aggressive shampooing your sidekicks among other things.
