The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 108 (French Connection II)
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, joined by a special guest Ian Schultz to talk about French Connection II, the sequel to one of the best movies of all time. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about, following up true greatness, John Frankenheimer's directorial style, his relationship with William Friedkin, the idea of making movies by going places and doing stuff, and if you hang out for long enough you may also hear a think or two about Captain Ahab and Brian Wilson, too.
