The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 150 (Silent Night, Deadly Night)
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 beginning our December theme of Holiday Horror with the 1984 Silent Night, Deadly Night. Over the course of our chat you will hear us go into the controversy that saw this movie pulled from cinemas, the many ways it induced a moral panic, the idea of using a Christmas icon as an axe murderer, church methods for raising orphans, the legacy of this movie and much more!
