Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show.
This month, in connection to a selection of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 80s oddities we explore on the main show, we are tying in with a conversation about Conan the Barbarian, the movie that catapulted him into stardom. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about John Milius as the legendary badass of the New Hollywood, the genesis of 80s action man, this movie's peculiar approach to fantasy storytelling, flammable witches, stiffened snakes and much more!

Here's a short teaser of our Patreon-exclusive podcast series where we will be examining the cinema of Steven Soderbergh. On our main show we are going through his more underrated works, while on our Patreon we are talking about Soderbergh's most prominent movies.
This month, we are talking about a perhaps a bit underrated, but nonetheless important entry in Steven Soderbergh's catalogue - his 2013 Side Effects. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about this film's connection to De Palma, Hitchcock, Clouzot and paranoid thrillers of the 70s, Scott Burns' passion for socially relevant cinema and Soderbergh's strange relationship with genre. We also talk about leadless narratives, Jude Law's likeability, and whether this movie would have been better with Matt Damon.

Here's a short teaser of the sixth episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes. In this episode of our 2023 John Cassavetes Marathon, we are discussing The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, a film Cassavetes directed immediately after A Woman Under the Influence. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many reasons the world (and some of us too) did not connect with the movie the way they did with his previous film, how it is a stylistic departure from his MO, how it functions as a metaphorically autobiographical piece and that its anti-genre allure is definitely not for everyone.
