The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 138 (Raw Deal)



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 are continuing our journey through Arnold Schwarzenegger's underseen 80s movies starting with the letter R, as we talk Raw Deal. In the course of our chat you will hear us talk about what happens when Arnie is asked to take the character seriously, the idea of making a gritty gangster movie in the 80s, Schwarzenegger's relationship with Stallone and his own growing legacy, the dangers of going overboard with pyrotechnics and much 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.
