BONUS Tie-in 30 -Taken (teaser)

Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show. This month we are talking about Taken, the movie which recalibrated Liam Neeson's career and transformed him from an aging prestige thespian into a latter-day superhero. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this surprising late-career shift, the meme of Bryan Mills, the legacy of Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne and the moral panic of setting Albanian human traffickers as the villains. We also talk making movies set in Europe, Bryan Mills' scruples, and Maggie Grace's graceless running. Enjoy!

Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows
