On our first episode of the new year, Owen Morawitz returns to discuss the 1994 action-thriller 'No Escape', a film set on the maximum security island prison of Absolom in the dystopian future of 2022. We discuss a few standout performances from the top-tier cast (including a rarely seen action hero version of Ray Liotta & best in show Stuart Wilson as the villainous Marek), how the film reflects contemporary liberalism's contradictory sympathies toward America's carceral system, and the novelty of watching an action movie with a little bit too much on its mind.Follow Owen Morawitz on TwitterSubscribe to Owen's Newsletter The Pitch of DiscontentConsider becoming a Hit Factory Patron to get access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.
