Uncut Gems Podcast (December 2022 Round-Up)

And just like that, 2022 has come to a close and over at Uncut Gems Podcast we have completed a fine year of talking about great movies and pushing our journey forward. Granted, it was a year peppered with challenges – from hurricanes to new jobs and everything in between – but we have somehow persevered, increased our productivity, got Randy to join the show as a permanent host and now we are all abuzz with what’s to come in 2023. But more on that at the end of this write-up. For now, here’s what happened in December 2022!

Uncut Gems Podcast in 2022, so far

I haven’t posted about Uncut Gems Podcast in here in a long while, which is mostly a result of the show finding its permanent new home at its own dedicated website HQ (uncutgemspodcast.com); and I do believe I may have mentioned it before (here) when I was still grappling with massive changes to my schedule (with which I am still grappling, in case you haven’t noticed).

However, if you just discovered us, I thought it would be a good idea to gather everything we’ve done towards this goal in one place.

The Uncut Gems Podcast – Episode 43 (Hackers) and Episode 44 (Johnny Mnemonic)

In the last two episodes of the show (apologies for bundling them together here, but it almost works out because both movies discussed in these episodes are from the same year) we continued to circle The Matrix by jumping back in time and examining some of the movies that may have inadvertently served as parts of the cultural template upon the Wachowski film that indubitably reshaped the blockbuster landscape.

The Uncut Gems Podcast – Episode 40 (Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II)

Quelle surprise, eh? Halloween is upon us and – guess what – we talked about Halloween movies on the podcast. Well, suffice it to say that I don’t think it will have been the last time this happened because this franchise has at least one or two more entries that are interesting (or controversial) enough to fit within the parameters of the show, but for this particular occasion we rolled out the big guns.
