The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 190 (McQ)
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 beginning our September with the Old Duke, a short survey of movies John Wayne made when he got older. This week we talk about McQ, a movie where The Duke tried to catch up to the stoic silent cop movies like Dirty Harry and Bullitt. In our conversation you will hear us talk about movies being written around John Wayne and whether he needed to move on with the times, the allure of a police procedural and whether the intense plotting in this movie makes it a bit more forgettable. We also talk about the logistics of firing lots of rounds in six seconds, maintaining a low profile in a muscle car and much more!
