BONUS Tie-in 64 - 48 Hrs (teaser)
<p>In this podcast we are tying into this month's theme of Walter Hill's directorial exploits in the 1980s with a debate about his biggest hit of the decade (or even his entire career), the 1982 <strong>48 Hrs</strong>. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this was a producer-led passion project carried from the 1970s by Larry Gordon and how it introduced the world to Eddie Murphy. We also interrogate the oft-repeated truism that this movie became the template for buddy cop action comedies and establish that it's only partially true while other classics like <strong>Freebie and the Bean </strong>(which we discussed on this podcast many years ago) would fit the bill much better. We talk about Eddie Murphy acting as a disrupting force to what otherwise would have been a gritty police procedural, bare-chested squibs and much more!</p><p>Tune in and enjoy!<strong> </strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/uncutgemspod">Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)</a> and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!</p><p><br></p><p>Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows</p><p><a href="https://uncutgemspodcast.com/">Head over to our website to find out more!
