The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 127 (Coma)
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, our June Jaunt through Michael Crichton work comes to a close with a discussion on his 1978 medical thriller Coma. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder why this movie wasn't a bigger hit, whether star power is what Crichton needed, if the movie functions as a feminist metaphor for dismantling the patriarchy, an indictment of a for-profit healthcare model, or both and if it is even remotely acceptable to eat a sandwich during an autopsy.
