The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 83 (Windtalkers)
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 A-Woo-Gust carries on with John Woo's WWII drama Windtalkers! Joined by a special guest, Darryl Edge of the Cage/Rage Podcast, we embarked on a journey to find beauty in the muddy trenches of Saipan. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder whether Woo glorifies or condemns the war, talk about Nic Cage as a brooding veteran tasked with the impossible, the allure of practical pyrotechnics, Oscar-baity sanitized portrayals of racism and much more.
