The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 164 (The Fanatic)
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 are continuing our conversations about obsession and lack of personal boundaries, as we talk about The Fanatic. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder if this universally panned movie can be salvaged, whether John Travolta's performance is overblown, by how much and why, as well as what we think about Fred Durst as a filmmaker. We also talk about on-the-nose references to film-bro movies, the ego behind playing your own music in the car and if the movie is smarter than it makes it look.
