The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 87 (The River Wild)
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 talking about the 1994 adventure thriller The River Wild starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon and David Strathairn. Joined by a special guest, Jackson Boren, we talked about Meryl Streep as an underrated female action hero, Kevin Bacon’s ambiguous energy, the intricacy of the screenwriting laying out its exposition, the movie encapsulating a breadth of marriage therapy notes, nature as a villain and much, much more!
