The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 84 (Paycheck)
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 tying a bow on the A-Woo-Gust series by talking about the last film John Woo made in Hollywood, namely Paycheck. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Ben Affleck as a leading man, Paycheck as a Hitchcockian thriller, a decade of adapting Philip K. Dick, the long-extinct mid-budget genre counter-programming, Aaron Eckhart as an underwhelming villain and much more!
