The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 115 (Full Frontal, Eros and Bubble)
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.
It's the first Friday of the month so we are checking in at the Soderbergh Hotel to talk about some of his less well known films. In this episode we are taking a look at Full Frontal, Bubble and Eros, in which Soderbergh contributed a vignette to accompany one from Wong Kar Wai and one from Michelangelo Antonioni. Over the course of our rich and meandering conversation you will hear us talk about Soderbergh revisiting his absurdist ideas in Full Frontal, consolidating his directorial voice as an cinematic experimentalist, Bubble as a soulful piece of social realism, stepping up to the challenge of working with non-actors, subverting the expectations of a horny short with his work on Eros, and much more.
