The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 107 (They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!)
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 starting our February series on sequels to Best Picture winners by talking about They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!, a sequel to the 1967 In the Heat of the Night. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder why and how this movie came together in the first place, whether Virgil Tibbs is enough of a Columbo to sustain a franchise, if the people who made this movie knew what made the original great in the first place and more. We also opine over Tibbs' parenting skills, his pillow talk and whether prestige movies deserve sequels in the first place.
