The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 109 (The Evening Star)



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 putting a lid on our February theme of sequels to Best Picture winners by talking about The Evening Star, the sequel to the 1983 Terms of Endearment. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about what makes a movie an Oscar Bait, whether Terms of Endearment required a sequel in the first place, who the character of Aurora can appeal to, the importance of authenticity in trying to tell stories about human drama and much more!

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.
