Commentary 21: Air Force One (with movie audio)

Movies N Sh*t

Just in time for everybody's favorite holiday, it's a patriotic President's Day movie commentary special of the 1997 blockbuster, Air Force One! Revisit (perhaps) the greatest movie ever made, or at the very least, a movie that will make you feel better about the American Presidency than you've felt in years (we promise). Harrison Ford's Commander and Chief goes toe-to-toe with Gary Oldman's fanatical Russian terrorist leader, edge-of-your-seat landline negotiations with Glenn Close's VP in her sweat-stained blouse, a fax machine (remember those?!) that's super important to the plot of the movie, double crosses, sacrifices, character development (remember when that was a thing in action movies?!), indirect executive orders, extras giving top-notch background performances, hostages gleefully parachuting into the safety of the Atlantic ocean, crossing wires in the luggage compartment to dump fuel, a presidential flying lesson during a Russian Mig attack that just may have served as the inspiration for Disney's Smuggler's Run, zip-lining between aircrafts travelling at 550 miles per hour, and Harrison delivering the greatest single line in cinematic history on one bad-ass airplane. All that, plus the passionate commentary of two movie-loving idiots. Happy listening! Happy President's Day! And remember -- If you give a mouse a cookie, he's gonna want a glass of milk.
