The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 209 (Mile 22 and Spenser Confidential)
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 finishing our January survey of the professional relationship between Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg and we are doing so with a double bill of Mile 22 and Spenser Confidential. Over the course of our chat you will hear us debate whether the critics were right about these movies or if they couldn't see the forest for the trees and whether it's appropriate to call these movies "movies" instead of cinematic TV pilots. We also talk about Iko Uwais 80s-throwback as an athlete-turned-actor, dramatic chops of stand-up comedians playing against titans of comedic flair, John Malkovich with hair and much more!
