The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 182 (Shame)
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 continuing our July debate about Men in Crisis as we take on a real humdinger of a movie, Steve McQueen's Shame. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie is equally something everyone should see and something everyone will wish to never see again, how Steve McQueen's meticulous and relentless directorial choices influence the thematic sphere of the movie and how Michael Fassbender embodies his main character and plumbs the depths of his death spiral. We also talk about addiction, searching for connection and meaning and much, much more!
