The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 105 (Space Rage)
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 talking about Space Rage, a microbudget space western from 1985 starring Richard Farnsworth. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about what makes cheap trashy movies likeable and equally what makes some of them unappealing, the power of passion behind the camera making up for budgetary shortcomings, the long tradition of low-fi knock-offs of big blockbusters and how - if at all - Space Rage fits within the legacy of Mad Max.
