Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show. In this episode of the show tying into this month's theme of April Off The Grid, we are talking about Ted Kotcheff's First Blood. Joined by a special guest and friend of the show Rich Foster we are discussing how The New Hollywood invented the action hero, whether Stallone needs to be thanked for the 80s and how a survival thriller about PTSD and authorities on a power trip spawned one of the most well-known franchises in Hollywood. We also talk about the importance of keeping your knife sharp in the forest, the many subtle differences between the book and the film and whether trying to shave a man who refuses to be shaved is a good idea in the first place.

Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows
