"Uncut Gems" with Sam Esfandiari (@samesfandiari)

The Safdie brothers crushed it with "Uncut Gems," and while they didn't get any Oscars for their troubles, they're getting a bunch of praise in an episode of Big Screen Sports. Sam Esfandiari returns as guest to break down everything that hit right in this movie. We'll talk the incredible performance by Adam Sandler, the film's fantastic score and pace, the dedication to authenticity that the Safdie brothers put into the film, and how much Lakeith Stanfield stock Kyle is holding after watching both this and "Sorry to Bother You" in the same week.Follow Big Screen Sports on Twitter @Big_ScreenSport and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
