Episode 63 - Red Dawn and Invasion USA Uncut Gems Podcast

In this episode of the show we are discussing Red Dawn and Invasion USA, two mid-1980s action thrillers about Soviets invading America. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the importance of giving personality to characters in an ensemble, whether Red Dawn is a cult classic or not, pondering whether real-life pyrotechnics are enough to elevate a movie, if Chuck Norris kicking ass is all that you need from a successful actioner, whether the violence in Invasion USA was pushed a bit too far, and much more!

Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Nicolò Grasso
