The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 179 (Rolling Thunder)
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 closing our Distressed Father's Day month with a conversation about the 1977 revenge opus Rolling Thunder. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about dangers of pressing down one's emotional state, the power of a monosyllabic hero and how much meaning can possibly fit into a single line of dialogue. We also talk about changes to the original Paul Schrader script, the prowess of William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones and the many ways in which this movie connects to other well-known pieces of its era.
