The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 128 (The Girlfriend Experience and The Informant!)



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 take on a duo of Steven Soderbergh's underrated 2009 releases - The Girlfriend Experience and The Informant! Over the course of our chat - which turned out to be a massive reunion recording - you will hear us talk about the thematic depth of an otherwise lean indie film, Sasha Grey's dramatic range, Matt Damon's comedic chops, Richard Lester, movies about people who think they are in movies, subtle winks at cinephiles and 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.
