The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 70 (The Faculty)
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 continuing our Shapeshifters and Body Snatchers series by talking about The Faculty, a Robert Rodriguez-directed pastiche of science-fiction and horror. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to hash out who had more influence on this project, Robert Rodriguez or Kevin Williamson, whether the trend of 'screamifying' different genres works in the context of a body-snatching romp, if Josh Hartnett's hair is just a bit too distracting for its own good, and much more!
