The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 112 (Showdown in Little Tokyo)



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 continuing our trek through the cinema of Brandon Lee as we talk about Showdown in Little Tokyo. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the buddy cop energy of this movie, Brandon channeling Mel Gibson,  Dolph Lundgren as an underrated action man, the latent homoerotic energy of the movie, the idea of Showdown in Little Tokyo being a parody of itself 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.
