The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 184 (Bamboozled)
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 joined by our great buddy Jak to talk about Spike Lee's Bamboozled. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Spike Lee embracing consumer-based filmmaking tools, the film's complex satire on Hollywood and how it has been mostly misunderstood and hidden from view. We also talk about making radical aesthetic choices to upset the viewer, the film's incredibly dense messaging, Lee's feud with Tarantino and much, much more!
