The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 169 (Captain Fantastic)
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 trek off the grid as we talk the 2016 indie darling Captain Fantastic. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the quirky recipe for a Sundance drama, what the film is trying to say about parenting and whether it is interested in practicing what it preaches. We also talk about the unsettling quality of witnessing Viggo Mortensen having his morning coffee in the nude, upper middle class liberals going camping and the idea of keeping pictures of Pol Pot on your bedroom wall.
