Description

For episode 16 of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John discuss “Under Siege,” 1992 action thriller directed by Andrew Davis and starring Steven Seagal in what is clearly his best role. We talk about Seagal’s career, Hollywood’s view of the American military in this era of filmmaking, and the strange, almost left-wing politics of this movie in particular. Jamelle also attempts a bad impression of Seagal. It’s a good time.“Under Siege” is available for rent on Amazon and iTunes.Our logo, as always, is courtesy of the great Rachel Eck, who you can find on Instagram.Contact us!Follow us on Twitter!John GanzJamelle BouieLinks from the episode!New York Times frontpage for October 9, 1992Steven Seagal’s infamously unwatchable appearance on Saturday Night Live.Scene in “Austin Powers” where Austin learns the Cold War is over.
