For this Sunday's Suspense Lagniappe, we have Uncut Gems (2019), a crime thriller film[5] about a Jeweler named Howard Ratner in New York City's Diamond District, who must retrieve an African gem in order to pay off his debts, which are in part caused by his impulsive gambling. As the movie goes by, this descends into 2 hours of unrelenting stress as he struggles with the high stakes, and perhaps burns too many bridges along the way. If you wanna see actor Adam Sandler in a more serious role, this is the one for you. Directed and written by brothers Josh and Benny Safdie, as of now, this is the most recent duo project done by them, before their directoral split-up.
We’ll start at 5:30 PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine
Be there, comrades!

CWs for:
Sex And Nudity: Moderate
Sexual references, implied sex, kissing and brief sexting.
A woman sends her boyfriend a picture of herself in skimpy lingerie while sexting. The picture is shown in close up and her pubic hairs are visible through the underwear. The lingerie shows cleavage and she's wearing a thong so most of her buttocks are visible.
A woman unzips her skirt to reveal a tattoo of a man's name on her butt cheek. Her butt is seen in closeup.
A man is seen laying with two women in his bed who is he is kissing. A man and a woman begin kissing, then they begin to undress and lay down on a couch. Sex is heavily implied.
Not a lot of sexual stuff is seen on camera, but the dirty and vulgar nature of the film along with some of the sexual references make up this category to pretty relevant.
Sexual references.
In the background, a painting of three naked ladies can be seen, not graphic at all. After, there's a naked lady on the television, it's not focused on but you can see the outline of her breasts.
There are a lot of sexual references.
Violence And Gore: Moderate
A man gets punched in the throat, and is later hit in the nose and thrown into a fountain. Some bloody tissues are shown in the next scene as his girlfriend cleans him up.
A young man is carried out of a mine with a heavily bleeding leg injury. His bones are briefly exposed. Someone pours alcohol on the injury to cleanse it.
A man starts two fights in a nightclub, and several people are punched and manhandled.
Two men gang up on a another man, ripping his shirt and knocking him to the ground.
A man starts a fight at his daughter's school, biting one of his opponents and leaving a mark before being forcefully stripped naked and thrown into the trunk of a car.
A man is clubbed in the back as he runs away. We see a large mark later.
A man is held out of a window and threatened to be dropped. A man has a colonoscopy at the beginning of the film we see footage of his colon on a screen and it is mentioned they found a polyp.
There isn't a lot of violence, but the extreme intensity throughout the film is enough to warrant turning it off for some viewers. One scene of graphic violence and numerous fights and altercations with bruising and injury.
Profanity: Severe
"Fuck" is said excessively throughout with the word being said a total of 560 times. Regularly used as part of normal conversation or in scenes full of arguing or yelling. More than half of its usage comes from Adam Sandler's character.
Many other obscenities throughout including: "cock*****", "{word for prostitute}", "shit", "{english word for konyo}", "{n-word}" and "asshole".
This film (2 hours long) has some of the most extreme and perverse language of all time with it being more frequent than The Wolf of Wall Street (a 3 hour film).
646 swear words in total.
Cum was used. Blasphemy is used throughout the movie and in very serious forms as per example Je*** fuckg Ch*
Alcohol, Drugs And Smoking: Moderate
One scene where people are seen snorting cocaine in a bathroom. This is the only part where drugs are used. Some drinking, mostly in social settings along with brief smoking.
Frightening And Intense Scenes: Severe
Howard is constantly harassed by a gang of vicious loan sharks who beat him up and steal from him.
This film as a whole is EXTREMELY intense, stressful and anxiety-inducing, with overwhelming elements of tension such as people constantly shouting over each other, constant loud music, claustrophobic scenarios, and sudden violence.
The scene that takes place in the night club is very claustrophobic. Howard and The Weeknd get into a fight, this part is very tense to watch with all of the loud music in the background and indistinct shouting.
One of the most claustrophobic scenes in the movie is when Howard is clubbed and thrown into an SUV where he is constantly manhandled and has his clothes taken off by a gang of loan sharks and thrown into the trunk of a car.
The scene where Howard tries to get the door open while KG and his friends are stuck in a tight space is extremely tense. The constant yelling and buzzing is incredibly anxious.

What's the chef cookin' tonight?
"28 Pranks Later"
...Remember when The Walking Dead was cool? Yes I know the title of this episode's really referring to a different zombie apocalypse thing, but I just remember that zombies had a bit of a moment in mid-2010s pop culture around when this episode came out. This episode shows a fake fillyscout cookie-based zombie apocalypse which Ponyvillians are all in on to get back at Rainbow Dash for pranking the townsponies too much.
"The Times They Are A Changeling"
...This episode has some important set-up for the season finale next week, and the status quo change that comes with that finale. In this episode, Spike befriends a changeling named Thorax, who lives near the Crystal Empire, and by the end of the episode, the ponies agree that Thorax is "one of the good ones". And Thorax is as I remember it a favorite character of Pony Night regular BeamBrain.
This episode has tonight's first musical number.
"Dungeons & Discords"
...This is an episode centered on the unique pairing of Big Mac, Spike, and Discord, who end up playing a TTRPG together. The fact that Spike and Big Mac are friends who regularly hang out was actually first alluded to back in S5E1, but this is our first (and maybe even last) time really seeing Spike and Big Mac's friendship for ourselves.
This episode is by no means the first episode to pass the reverse Bechdel test, but you can understand that episodes centered on male characters are a rarity (no pun intended) in this show, so this episode still stands out for that. Dudes Rock!
"Buckball Season"
...I'm pretty sure this is our third episode whose title is a reference to a previous episode, in this case season 1's "Applebuck Season". This episode introduces us to the sport of buckball, which is featured in four more episodes after this. You'd think they would've introduced Equestria's national sport a lot sooner than season 6 out of 9, and that everypony would already have a base familiarity with the sport, but hay. I remember thinking this was a fun episode in any case, and as far as fantasy sports go, buckball certainly beats quidditch. Because anything beats quidditch.
Something else that stands out about this episode is that it prominently features Snails. We haven't seen him have a role this prominent in a while, that's for sure!
"The Fault in Our Cutie Marks"
...Remember when John Green was cool? Anyways this episode has a fan-favorite griffon character who wants nothing more than to have a cutie mark just like the ponies have. Not much else to say about it.
This episode has tonight's other musical number.
"Viva Las Pegasus"
...Sees the Flim Flam Brothers pull a Satsuki Kiryuin as Applejack and Fluttershy are summoned to Las Pegasus, which is the TV-Y version of, well, you can guess where. Not much else to say about this one, either.
