The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 178 (Rage)
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 discussing the 1972 film Rage directed by and starring George C. Scott. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many ways in which this film fits in the microtrend of revenge fantasies which sprouted across cinema of the 70s, how it adds to the legacy of anti-establishment paranoid thriller and whether it is a de facto libertarian fantasy owing a lot to Lonely Are the Brave while anticipating First Blood by a decade. We also talk about George C. Scott behind the camera, the idea of filming cats in slow motion and how important it is to depict CPR properly.
