Unclear and Present Danger Podcast
@UnclearPod
@jbouie and @lionel_trolling watch the political and military thrillers of the 1990s and talk about what they say and what they mean.
- This may not be true for you, but for me (Jamelle here) THE FIRM is like a warm blanket of a movie. Byzantine legal plot? I love it. Murder’s row of character actors? I love it. Gene Hackman. Hell yeah. Wilford Brimley as a creepy private investigator? Inject it into my veins.
- This is a categorically pro-three-and-a-half hour long historical drama by Martin Scorsese podcast.The first trailer for Martin Scorsese’s ‘KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON’ has been released. The film releases on October 6 in theaters.
- watching THE FUGITIVE on blu ray with the commentary (director andrew davis and tommy lee jones) and just learned that they crashed an actual train into an actual bus for the escape scene.
- The entire point of this podcast is that we are putting these movies in their cultural and political context. We say so right at the beginning.Replying to @UnclearPod and @jbouieWhy even bother doing a podcast on the movie if its just 90 percent leftist rant? I was expecting the rewatchables and got a tiresome college seminar by two freshmen
- no one asked us if we could sum up this podcast with a single image but the answer is yes, we can
- I’m (Jamelle) watching IRON MAN 3 and while it’s not for the podcast, I will say that if we continue through the 2000s and into the post-9/11 era of action thrillers, we’re gonna have to do this movie, which is a surprisingly and explicitly political for a superhero flick.
- personally disagree that LAST ACTION HERO is mid but 100% agree that this bit is incredible
- catching up with ANDOR and i feel like this show has to be on the list for when we eventually get to the post-9/11 era
- You know, I don’t think I’d ever actually seen THUNDERBALL and I have to say I’m a fan of any movie that begins with someone punching what it appears to be an old woman in the face and then flying off in a jetpack.
- PASSENGER 57 isn’t good, exactly, but i’ll say this: it gets immediately down to business and moves very quickly. if this thing were made today it would be twice as long and incredibly boring for most of its runtime.
- Watching THE PELICAN BRIEF for next week’s record and not only is this going to be a great episode — LOTS of material — but this movie is so much wilder than I remember.
