The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 82 (Face/Off)
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 taking A-Woo-Gust into overdrive as we are talking Face/Off, John Woo's wild and unhinged take on Freaky Friday with doves, Mexican stand-offs and planes crashed into hangars well before Christopher Nolan arrived at the scene. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the allegories embedded in the film, the duality of men, practical stunts in Hollywood, Michael Bay as a John Woo disciple, Nicolas Cage as meme material and much, much more!
