The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 72 (The Hidden)
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 Shapeshifters and Body Snatchers series by talking about the the mostly forgotten 1987 sci-fi thriller The Hidden. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Kyle MacLachlan as an alien, the 80s action as a state of mind, the vagaries of making science-fiction on the cheap, the movie's infrequent yet suggestive special effects, why this movie ended up completely side-lined by popular culture despite both the audiences and the critics liking it at the time and much more!
