Christmas Vacation (1989) - "Sh*tter was full" (Episode 86)

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.

Nathan and Ollie have danced around covering this amazing, but controversial, film for years. The time finally came to discuss it. Both Nathan and Ollie decided to watch the director's cut in hopes of it having LESS of the awkward and MASSIVELY inappropriate story line. Unfortunately, the opposite was true. The film is still remarkable and worth watching and discussing. Let us know what you think.

Nathan and Ollie manage to get one more episode in before Christmas. They compare it to other Christmas movies and to other Vacation films. This might have been one of the easiest ever films to pick the Bill Paxton winner.
