Surviving the Game (feat. Gillet Rosenblith)
Unclear and Present Danger - A podcast by Jamelle Bouie and John Ganz
Categories:
This week, Jamelle and John are joined by historian Gillet Rosenblith to discuss the 1994 action thriller "Surviving the Game," a loose adaptation of "The Most Dangerous Game" and a glimpse into anxieties and fears regarding poverty, homelessness and urban decay in the 1990s. They also discuss other, similar films of the era, like John Woo's "Hard Target," and they discuss further what distinguishes the action movies of the 1990s from their predecessors in the 70s and 80s.
