The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 157 (Non-Stop)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

The Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.

In this episode of the show we are concluding our brief journey through Liam Neeson movies confined to different modes of transportation and we are taking off into the skies to talk about Non-Stop! Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder why this movie was as successful as it was, the woes of making action movies in the Marvel era and the idea of staying busy in times of grief. We also touch on Jaume Collet-Serra's directorial proclivities, the implicit benefits of setting movies on a plane and whether the ending of Non-Stop makes any sense at all.

Tune in, follow, like and subscribe at your podcatcher of choice and be sure to follow the show on Twitter and Instagram as well! You can also support the show on Ko-fi! Also, be sure to subscribe to our Patreon for more exclusive podcasts.
