The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 118 (The Rocketeer)
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 blasting into the stratosphere together with Joe Johnston's The Rocketeer! Listen as we put a bow on our April trek through 90s superheroes, marvel at this film's Spielbergian energy, talk about Nazi blimps in America and the technical accuracy of flying with a rocket strapped to your back, Howard Hughes, The Rocketeer as a family-friendly piece of Americana, the woes of making a Disney movie a bit more edgy and much more!
