The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 131 (Waterworld)
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 putting a bow on our short exploration of the professional partnership between Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner by talking about the 1995 Waterworld! Joined by our special guest Jackson Boren, the widely recognized defender of this movie, we discuss the lore surrounding this film's troubled production, the story of how the two Kevins fell out of love with each other and how this movie functions as a western, a Mad Max ripoff and an environmentalist cautionary tale. We also talk about how to correctly pee into a cup, opine on the Ulysses Cut, share some hot takes about world-building and much, much more!
