Episode 215 - The Package
from Uncut Gems Podcast · host Uncut Gems Podcast
In this episode of the show, we are continuing our March with Andrew Davis and we are talking about his 1989 conspiracy thriller The Package. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Davis was possibly enamored with the 70s, both in terms of aesthetic and thematic aspirations, and how this movie owes a whole lot to the post-Nixon wave of paranoid thrillers. We also talk about Gene Hackman as a presence in an action movie at the tail end of the 80s, Tommy Lee Jones as a subtle chameleon, The Package as a protoplast of The Fugitive and just how nice it is to see Pam Grier on the screen, even if for just a few minutes.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsIntro: 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!
