Show Notes
Get off my plane! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, and Ethan (Georgia's crawling around the cargo hold and Liam's sleeping while watching the football) as we endeavor to fly TransAtlantic without incident in 1997's Die Hard on a Plane, Air Force One. We're inferring about direct orders in our 132nd episode as we discuss:
- We discuss Quidditch and Quadball for 2 minutes as well as Marvel's Phases 5 & 6
- Who was first approached to play President James Marshall
- The one change that Glenn Close demanded before she agreed to play the vice president
- Which president liked this movie and which president liked this movie a little too much
- We discuss what exactly a 'direct order 'means
- Ian rages a bit about the film continuously defying its own internal logic
- How do Pyjamas turn into a full military uniform
- When is exposition natural and when is it forced
- Ian comes up with an acceptable secondary title for this film
- We ask whether Gary Oldman is note perfect or over the top as the film's villain
- Whether or not Air Force One is the Best Film Ever.
