The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 187 (Zero Effect)
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 wrapping up our August deliberations about Ben Stiller in 1998 with a conversation about Jake Kasdan’s Zero Effect. Over the course of our chat you will hear us bicker over whether this movie is a great gem or if it indeed has zero effect on the viewer, whether Jake Kasdan is a glorified nepo-baby and if Bill Pullman is as funny as he seems to be. We also talk about Sherlock Holmes energy this movie goes after, importance of stakes in a noir movie, Soderberghian vibes and more!
