The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 168 (The Hunted)
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 heading to the forest to begin our April Off The Grid together with William Friedkin's The Hunted. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about possible reasons why Friedkin decided to direct this movie, what it possibly owes to First Blood and whether it has a metaphorical connotation with the culture at large. We also talk about it being a vestige of the 90s, Tommy Lee Jones' running skills and whether the story problems can get in the way of entertainment.
