Episode 292 - Miracles
<p>In this episode of the show we are putting a bow on our August trip through Jackie Chan's 80s exploits with the last movie he made in that decade, the 1989 <strong>Miracles</strong>. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about <strong>Miracles </strong>being Jackie Chan's favorite movie he ever directed despite the fact it was mostly rejected by paying audiences, the allure of a period piece and the pattern of successful filmmakers wanting to wear a hat on screen for some reason. We also talk about the idea of adapting a Frank Capra classic and putting kung fu in it, the tonal whiplash some audiences might get from the resulting experience and how the movie, against all odds, might hold a deeper meaning that could explain Chan's particular affection for this movie about guns, roses and roundhouse kicks.</p><p>Tune in and enjoy!</p><p>Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows</p><p>Featuring: Rich Foster</p><p><br></p><p>Head over to <a href="https://uncutgemspodcast.com/">uncutgemspodcast.com</a> to find all of our archival episodes and more!</p><p>Follow us on Twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/UncutGemsPod">@UncutGemsPod</a>), IG (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/uncutgemspod/">@UncutGemsPod</a>) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)</p><p><a href="https://ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod">Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com</a> (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/uncutgemspod">Subscribe to our Patreon!</a> (patreon.com/uncutgemspod)</p>
