The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 129 (Insomnia)
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 preparing for the upcoming theatrical release of Oppenheimer by talking by Christopher Nolan's arguably most underappreciated movie, the 2022 Insomnia. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about what potentially drew Nolan to the project, why Steven Soderbergh may have passed on it, Robin Williams' era of playing against type, the movie as a second cousin to Heat, the setting giving the story an upside-down feel, and much more!
