The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 65 (Mandy)
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 talking about Mandy, a wildly impressionistic revenge thriller directed by Panos Cosmatos. Over the course of our wildly unhinged conversation you will hear us talk about Nicolas Cage's untamed persona, the film functioning as an arthouse horror, the logic of fantasy interweaving with reality, long takes of people walking through forests, forging cool-looking axes, Charles Manson-esque villains, weird connections to Seven and much more!
