The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 80 (Hard Target)



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 are launching A-Woo-Gust, a month-long series of episodes where we will talk about John Woo and the movies he made in Hollywood! We are starting with the iconic Hard Target starring the iconic JCVD and his iconic greasy mullet! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Hong Kong cinema, spaghetti westerns, Lance Henriksen on fire, JCVD as a detective, punching snakes, surfing on bikes, roundhouse kicks, dismantling grenades and 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 Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
