Episode 23 - Con Air
Welcome back, Bomb Squad, and get ready to fly the friendly skies of Con Air. In this episode, Troy and Brad take this special opportunity to examine the career of the one and only Nicolas Cage. They then tackle one of Cage’s most financially successful films that also didn’t fair well with the critics, Con Air.
Why does a movie called Con Air spend so much time on the ground? Is Nic Cage for real with that hair? What is going on with that Alabama accent? Why does Troy hate 1996’s The Rock so much? And would a plane crash landing in Las Vegas kill thousands of people? Oh, let’s talk about terminal velocity (not the Charlie Sheen film but the physics concept)!
Con Air is directed by Simon West and stars Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, John Cusack, Ving Rhames, Colm Meaney, Steve Buscemi, Wykelti Williamson, Dave Chappelle, Danny Trejo, and M.C. Gainey.
