The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 79 (Deep Impact)
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 going on a mission into space to stop a comet from hitting our planet... while following a paranoid conspiracy thriller... and watching Elijah Wood get married way too young. That is we are talking Deep Impact, a Mimi Leder-directed less talked about competitor to the 1998 Armageddon! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about injecting drama into disaster movies, injecting disasters into dramas, the idea of stretching the narrative too thin, Bobby Duvall as an absolute scene-stealer and much more!
