The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 36: Popstar Never Stop Never Stopping



The Uncut Gems Podcast
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 looking at Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, a 2016 comedy that failed to launch theatrically but has since grew a potent cult following. Over the course of our discussion, which mostly consisted of us recounting the funniest moments from the film (and there were plenty), we try to understand why this movie didn't succeed theatrically, deconstruct the legacy it is built upon, tip our hats to various generations of SNL comedians and have a metric tonne of fun while doing so.
