One of the things I love so much about this show is the friendship between these people. Doug and Rob are technically the bosses from what i can tell, but the whole group feels like a group of friends having a fun time doing something they love.

They are a joy to watch every year.I mean it through these hard times in the 2020's the laughs they gave us soothes the soul.

Con Air is the most Michael bay movie that isn't directed by Michael Bay

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

Except Bay would’ve forcibly wedged a hot girl in a shower into this movie for no reason.

[@supersizesenpai]

"That man was constructed purely out of chins and sideburns" I absolutely lost it at that line. 😂😂😂

[@Cthusiest_jeff]

Tamara has the best line in this. "It's okay. My car's in hot pursuit."

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

That was Jim

[@Cthusiest_jeff]

It sounds feminine to me

[@tencents6]

Jim said that, not Tamara.

[@ThreadBomb]

Funny, I remembered it as being Tamara too, but it ain't: 8:34

[@sullivanbard]

I heard it was Jim.

[@wstine79]

It's not difficult to surmise Tamara's feelings towards the Shenanigans in this movie; and Doug's own proclivities are well-known and often-lamented facts of penal lore.

For someone who hates on late 90s summer movies, Doug sure has a lot of favorites from that era: Con Air, Face/Off, Mask of Zorro, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Iron Giant, etc... Not to mention summer-style blockbusters such as Starship Troopers, Prince of Egypt, Babe Pig in the City, etc...

[@mcnamaraky]

To be fair those constitute maybe 1% of all of the late 90s summer movies.

[@jp3813]

@@mcnamaraky Really no different than any other summer. Plus I said "etc" due to him also liking The Fifth Element, Mulan, and such.

[@mcnamaraky]

@@jp3813 ? Wha? I don't understand what you mean. You're not talking about any other summer, you were talking about late 90s summer movies. You're saying he "Sure hates on late 90s summer movie," but then name a bunch of good films that happen to be late 90s summer movies, as if liking those few means that he really likes most late 90s summer movies when those make up a tiny fraction of them. Just because someone likes a small bunch of films from a genre does not mean that they don't hate on the genre (or even like it). It just means that they like those specific ones because they thought they worked for whatever reason. Also, preemptively in case it somehow gets brought up by someone: I'm not talking about my own like or dislike for the genre.

[@jp3813]

@@mcnamaraky If you don't understand, please wait for a clarification before going on a rant. I mean that generally beloved summer movies are always a minority no matter what year.

She should consider doing reactions to movies and then a quick thoughts after the film is done.

7:30 in a movie like Con-Air the thing that suspended their disbelief was the gas price. Sounds about right lmao

So, It's Tamara's Never Seen disguised as a First Viewing.

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

I saw this review and knew that I needed to have this movie. And now that I have it, I am complete.

[@sammartina8574]

You know what would make this movie better? If at the end where Steve Buscemi is at the gambling table, he puts a kids head on his head as a hat, and everybody around him screams.

[@kylamamber9080]

This was the movie that my Daddy would ask every single person that came over if they've seen it. If they hadn't then they'd get forced to watch it. It got to the point where Momma would tell people ahead of time "If he asks you if you've seen Con Air, say yes." She hates that movie now.

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

So Tamara's the one who came up with the Malkovich Twitter joke lol.

[@M12GProductions]

I asked my father if he saw this, and he simply said, "Cyrus the Virus" out loud.

I LOVE seeing them all watching it together, it just makes watching Con Air even more awesome!☺️

[@Buzzsawbrian1985]

Imagine if the little girl hates bunnies. all the trouble he went through to keep that bunny. And she gets terrified by it.

[@jonathanbaileyartanimation2992]

Fun fact: Before John Malkovich, Gary Oldman was the first choice to play Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom. A huge number of actors were also considered for the part like Kevin Bacon, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Richard Dreyfuss, James Gandolfini, Ed Harris, Rutger Hauer, William Hurt, Michael Keaton, Michael Madsen, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Ron Perlman, Tim Robbins, Tom Sizemore, John Travolta, Peter Weller, and Bruce Willis

[@soshiangel90]

This is one of the only First Viewing's I've watched where we see where the jokes came from! Malcolm on the Chapelle character Tamara on the twitter joke Cinema sob on "my car's in hot pursuit" Honestly kinda great to see how these just came about fresh and ended up being in the final cut
