Episode 213 - Shooter
from Uncut Gems Podcast · host Uncut Gems Podcast
In this episode of the show we are putting a finishing touch on our February with Antoine Fuqua with a conversation about Shooter. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the many years it took to adapt this story into a movie, how Mark Wahlberg and Antoine Fuqua made it happen and how (and perhaps why) the movie left a minimal cultural footprint behind it. We also talk about Mark Wahlberg as a post-Bourne action hero and how Shooter may have been an attempt to spawn a series, the many genre cliches peppered throughout the film and how confessing to conspiracies in broad daylight in an office setting is probably not a good idea at all. Oh, and we also spare a few words about the intricate ways government officials take to frame patsies and sweep crimes under the carpet.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Rich FosterIntro: Infraction - CassetteOutro: Infraction - DaydreamHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!
