We're diving headfirst into high-flying mayhem with Con Air, a chaotic symphony of explosions, one-liners, and mid-air madness—handpicked by our awesome Patreon supporter Susan from the Geek Girl Soup podcast!Con Air (1997) was born out of the mid-90s action movie boom, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer riding high from previous hits like The Rock and Crimson Tide. Wanting to blend testosterone-fueled chaos with a high-concept premise, Bruckheimer and the team crafted a story about a maximum-security prisoner transport gone wildly off the rails. The script, written by Scott Rosenberg, was inspired in part by a real federal program, but the film quickly ditched realism in favor of bombast and explosions. Simon West, a former music video director making his feature debut, was brought on to direct, bringing a flashy style that matched Bruckheimer's over-the-top vision.The production faced major challenges, especially with the practical effects and large set pieces involving planes, crashes, and convicts with very short fuses. Shot primarily in Utah and Nevada, including sequences at the infamous "Boneyard" in the Mojave Desert, the film used a combination of real aircraft, full-scale models, and miniature effects. Despite the logistical headaches, Con Air brought together a ludicrously stacked cast including Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, and Ving Rhames. Cage famously trained with DEA agents and adopted a Southern accent for his role — choices that added to the movie's now-iconic (and deeply memeable) legacy. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where justice is served on wings of chaos, Con Air follows newly paroled Army Ranger Cameron Poe, who just wants to get home to his wife and daughter—but finds himself trapped on a high-security prisoner transport flight hijacked by some of the most dangerous criminals in America. With time running out and a plane full of maniacs soaring toward disaster, Poe must fight from the inside to stop the carnage, clear his name, and maybe deliver a heartfelt bunny rabbit along the way. Buckle up—this flight's going down in action-packed, slow-mo glory.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠

Con Air is a gloriously over-the-top action flick that delivers big explosions and bigger personalities—even if Nicolas Cage feels like he wandered in from a different movie!

The "I Will See You in Hell" podcast reviewed Con Air (1997), an action film about a hijacked prisoner transport plane. The hosts recalled their initial enjoyment, praising the action, comedy, characters, and Bubba's presence, while criticizing Cage's accent and the Vegas ending. They discussed potential winners of "The Bill Paxton Award" for memorable supporting actors and whether Con Air was career-defining for the main cast (likely only for Chappelle). An AI-generated sequel synopsis, Con Air 2: Skyjacked Justice, involves Poe retaking a hijacked plane of cybercriminals. Trivia mentioned Stallone/Russell declining Poe, the film's dedication to a deceased effects artist, Vegas filming at the Sands, marshals' lack of endorsement, Malkovich turning down Air Force One, the film shifting Malkovich to criminal roles, low-flying plane concerns, and the Oscar/Razzie-nominated song.

Things come full circle this week as we hearken back to an earlier era of The Complete Works - if you liked CON AIR, boy do we have a movie for you! Not only is a shameless ripoff of CON AIR, but it's implied that it takes place... in the same universe??? Roy Scheider stars alongside Dorian Harewood, Ray Wise, Clint Howard, and a little girl named after a JAWS character in 1998's direct-to-video action movie EVASIVE ACTION!

Corn on the cob, chocolate car seats, Con Air, and cool braids. What do all these things have in common? You might think 'not much', but Greg and Joz are here to walk you through each and every one of them, and still have time to rank Hollywood's hottest heartthrobs. Stay for the whole show to learn some new slang from an ever-frazzled Joz!

Guests and topics aplenty today, as we welcome your opinions, and stumble upon a great idea for Con Air 2.

We flesh out the plot for Con Air 2, you laugh at us but join along, then Connor details the events at The Chuck last night. Sure there was a baseball game where Nebraska beat Creighton, and Connor got his car hit in the parking lot last night.

Jon Harding is the Senior Vice President and Global Chief Information Officer at Conair LLC, a multibillion-dollar consumer products company. In his role, he has driven major initiatives, including implementing a global SAP system and other eCommerce platforms. Before joining Conair, Jon held senior leadership IT roles at Kellogg Company, where he spearheaded enterprise system transformations across Europe and the US. In 2023, he was recognized as the New York CIO of the Year in the enterprise category.  In this episode… Enterprise IT leaders are often expected to maintain flawless systems while simultaneously driving innovation. As digital tools evolve, companies must adopt new technologies while avoiding disruption and risk. How can organizations balance innovation with stability and strategic alignment? When managing IT transformation at the enterprise level, veteran technology executive Jon Harding recommends aligning tech initiatives with clear business outcomes rather than chasing the latest trends. This requires initiating early cross-functional collaboration in tech planning, focusing on change management, stakeholder buy-in, and long-term thinking. To integrate AI efficiently, Jon suggests prioritizing high-ROI use cases like customer support automation and content creation while maintaining governance and budget control. In this week's episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant talks with Jon Harding, the Senior Vice President and Global CIO at Conair, about enterprise-level tech stack innovation and digital transformation. Jon shares change management strategies, vendor selection considerations, and the future of enterprise advisory work.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela return with a chaotic blend of conspiracy, nostalgia, and dark comedy. They open by digging into Nazi fugitives hiding in Argentina, the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant, and bizarre CIA psychic experiments. Indiana Jones gets fact-checked, ancient relics are questioned, and things spiral from there. Pop culture takes hits with jabs at Jamie Lee Curtis, Ozempic knockoffs like Lean, and "The Passion of the Christ" getting compared to "Shrek 2." That kicks off a full-blown Mel Gibson breakdown, covering everything from "Payback" to "Blood Father," "What Women Want," and "Conspiracy Theory." Then it's Nicolas Cage's turn: "Pig," "Face/Off," "Con Air," and his legendary spending habits. A deep dive into "Mask" leads to savage takes on Eric Stoltz's prosthetics, Rocky Dennis, and Laura Dern's skull. The crew debates "Lethal Weapon" rankings, mourns spoof comedies, praises Bruce Dern's Tarantino roles in "The Hateful Eight" and "Django Unchained," and shouts out forgotten gems like "The 'Burbs" and "Nebraska." It wraps with Meghan Markle's billion-dollar podcast, Elton John's AA opener, and the glory of "Walk Hard" and "Popstar." This episode of "Normal World" features comedian Kris Fried.
