The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 61 (Snake Eyes)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

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 carry on with our DEPALMARCH series a.k.a. 4 DECADES OF DE PALMA by moving up to the 90s to talk about his 1998 outing Snake Eyes. Over the course of our discussion you will hear us talk about De Palma's indulgences, the well-known single-take sequence, Nicolas Cage's energy, subtle Hitchcockian references, Gary Sinise's charisma, the mysteriously missing original ending to the film and much, much more.

Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter and Instagram as well! You can also support the show on Ko-fi! Also, be sure to subscribe to our brand new Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
