A suggestion for a 90s action, The Saint with Val Kilmer. A fun and underrated spy film that's like a cross between James Bond and Mission Impossible, and is based on old serials and novels, which were notably made into a 60s TV series with Roger Moore before he was Bond.

According to Terry Farrell (Meaney’s co-star on DS9), Colm had a clause in his contract with Paramount that allowed him to be in movies while the show was in production, even if it included his character being absent for a few episodes. Con Air might’ve been one of those movies.

If Jen was in prison, you all know she'd be the equivalent of Red from Shawshank - she's the one you go to to get contraband from outside.

Garland Greene simply "found God and was healed" if you will, or had some sort of epiphany, when he and the little girl sang "He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands". Greene is an introspective, intelligent, self-aware sociopath, and no medical or psychiatric professional could figure him out and treat him because their approach lacked the simplicity of a children's hymn to something outside Greene's sociopathic self. The scene with him and the girl even starts out with them sitting opposite each other like a psychologist and their patient would, she asks whether he's sick and takes any medication, but then she asks him to sing with her, and his expression while singing speaks volumes. That's at least what I make of his arc.

I was not a Ranger, but I was Airborne, and my roommate was a Ranger.

[@BPhillips2000]

Regarding your question of whether or not Poe would've been convicted: Highly doubtful because of where they are. Alabama has a 'Stand Your Ground' statute, so Poe would have no 'duty to retreat' in the event that he & his wife (who is pregnant, no less) are accosted by drunk bar patrons. Now, in a few US states, their laws regarding self-defense are collectively known as 'duty to retreat'. In those states, a defendant claiming self-defense would have to first prove that retreating from the conflict was not possible, and there was no other option but self-defense. So if Poe was in, say, Maryland? He'd have to convince a jury that retreat/de-escalation was impossible... (Personally, I can't imagine convicting a man defending himself & his pregnant wife from three aggressive assailants who followed him out to the parking lot. But legally speaking...)

[@richardw64]

100% agree with that last sentence.

[@LordVolkov]

The lack of a knife as evidence (Poe's word vs the 2 survivors because Trisha went inside for help) would make 'no retreat' a less viable defense in court, unfortunately. It's not always what is right, but what can be proved to a jury.

[@MrGBH]

The realistic part is that America is known for not giving military vets any sufficient support after leaving active service, hence why Poe was given such an incompetent lawyer A half-competent lawyer would have known about those laws and urged Poe to plead not guilty due to them

[@CmotDribbler]

@@LordVolkovit’s amazing how much the quick cut of the knife being picked up is so integral to the plot.

[@Riggswolfe]

In a movie full of over the top action and impossible situations the least believable part to me is Cameron Poe getting convicted and sent to jail like he was. I feel like we're missing a scene where it turns out the judge knew one of the assailants and was corrupt or something.

[@johndrews206]

35:55 Fun fact. They really put the plane through the entrance of the casino. This was moved up in production when the found out the Sands was going to be demolished to build the Venetian. The sands was already closed so they let them smash it up with the plane.

[@kevinsieg2076]

I thought you'd like this one. Another film with John Cusack and John Malkovich you might want to check out is Being John Malkovich, a surreal dark comedy written by the imitable Charlie Kaufman. Fun reaction to watch. Have a nice day.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

The original script for this movie had the plane crashing into the White House & Poe saving the President from Cyrus. But then the producers became aware of a building in Vegas that was scheduled for demolition, & changed the script to use it instead, so they could save money on sets & FX. Imagine how over the top this would have been if they’d gone with the original script. Speaking of which, there are two (!!!) action movies whose premise is “Die Hard in the White House”: “Olympus Has Fallen” & “White House Down.” Neither is from the 90s, but they’re both lots of fun. Both came out in 2013!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

It's good that they didn't. It would have likely tipped this film over from "good fun" to "seriously?!?"

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

@@bigdream_dreambig I agree. That would have been too much.

[@christiantidball6121]

That was The Sands Hotel. They had dozens of cameras filming from different angles because you can't demolish a building twice.

18:07 -- RE: "Imagine O'Brien just droppin' the F-Bombs on TNG..."; A: *LMAO* well yeah, perhaps it isn't that much of a stretch given the degree to which "O'Brien Must Suffer" and let's not forget he has a proper dose of PTSD from fighting against the Cardassians, a characteristic which requires many angry cathartic words plus self-reflection. That's yet another reason to watch DS9 in my mind, just to see an O'Brien who is simultaneously capable of employing this type of ordinance while also restraining himself because he has a strong support system in his family and Starfleet.

Steve Buscemi chewing the scenery was a delight. He is such an underrated actor, and his character creeped me out as a kid when I watched this for the first time. Fun fact - the co-pilot who gets shot is Marty McSorley, formmer NHL defenceman.

[@theaikidoka]

By far the most ridiculous part of this movie is that Cameron is in prison at all. Are you seriously trying to tell me that, in the Southern US, a decorated veteran defends a four-on-one attack against himself and a pregnant woman where the attackers are armed, and isn't instantly acquitted? Hell, lots of juries would have awarded him everything those guys owned in damages. And no, the concept of 'being a deadly weapon' (or indeed licened to kill) and therefore held to a different standard is pure fiction. The prosecution might well argue that a veteran should have a higher degree of judgement than a civilian, as to the necessity for deadly force, but defence would just point to the circumstances and say 'what, that doesn't qualify?'. Cameron's lawyer would have had to TRY to throw the case to get a result like this.

[@martinrayner6466]

When training for state level martial arts competition(s), (many years of continuous training) we were informed that if we used our skills on the general public, a court would consider it the same as using a deadly weapon. I later taught at an officers military school as an unarmed combat instructor. *Legally when fighting you must use a 'proportional' response.* _That can be difficult when a single blow can be lethal or permanently injure._

[@A.Musing.Streamer]

I LOVE how long you spent waiting for an explosion. Like you were disappointed...then you got to the 3rd Act lol

[@x_trio_3_po333]

Another over the top 90's action flick is "Deep Rising" (1998) with Treat Williams, Famke Janssen and Kevin J. O'Connor. Its more of an action-horror movie with a bit of cheese and big explosions. From the same director as "The Mummy" (1999), and "The Mummy Returns" (2001), and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (2009). The last one is also a great action film.

[@ProfVRandall]

The law portrayed in "Con Air" regarding Cameron Poe's sentence is debatable on a few points: * **Self-Defense:** The movie implies Poe's actions were purely self-defense after a fight escalated. While the details are fuzzy, a strong self-defense case could lead to a lighter sentence or even no charges. * **Military Background:** The judge implies Poe should have shown more restraint due to his military training. Legally, this doesn't hold much weight. The law applies equally regardless of profession, though some argue veterans face harsher penalties in reality [ * **Plea Bargain:** Poe pleads guilty to manslaughter, likely to get a shorter sentence. Plea bargains are common, but the movie doesn't explore if a better deal might have been possible. Overall, "Con Air" simplifies the legal system for dramatic effect. The portrayal of Poe's sentence is questionable, but the true verdict would depend on the specifics of the fight and his legal representation.

[@Zerbyte]

In translation, the judge was being an a-hole.

[@lithium23]

not "debatable" Every law aspect was blatant nonsense along with much of the other plot devices lol.

[@jamespfp]

2:13 -- RE: "I know that this film isn't a documentary but is it really a true that a Military guy would be treated differently?"; A: Maybe a bit of Yes and No here. Shortest and best answer is Michael Bay isn't well known for his intense commitment to realism. And Yes, it is possible that the assigned State officials who are prosecuting here would seek to dispute Poe's claim of self-defense by indicating that his training has made him a deadly weapon even if he's fighting bare handed. The other key point is that Poe gets charged with a Felony, ie. Murder, and that makes it a Federal thing, and the Feds were who employed him when he was in the armed forces. He could easily be held to a different standard than most civilians even if he's been honorably discharged. There is also another detail about the procedures involving murder trials and juries: many jurisdictions hold a Grand Jury hearing first, and to my mind that's much more like what we're presented with in this movie. Grand Juries happen first, and depending on what the Grand Jury says there will either be an indictment and a Trial (with a regular Jury and deliberations), *or* the charges will be dismissed. It seems unlikely to most people that Poe would even be indicted by a Grand Jury given what we see at the beginning, and that's why the Audience cares about him because even if he's guilty we don't resent his actions.

2:20 I love how Jen lights up when she sees Colm Meaney is in this...a light that will be hastily extinguished. 3:03 Nah, I have little doubt that you could devise and execute The Perfect Crime.👍 3:47 John Cusack is (or at least he used to be) awesome. I'd also highly recommend Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank, 1408, and Better Off Dead. 5:16 "And then we got Haircut here". 🤣🤣🤣 Nearly spit rye-and-ginger all over my desk on that one. 12:40 Bonus points for use of the term "Cahooting", which I also employ from time to time (and specifically, earlier in this video).👍 20:52 That's Angela Featherstone, a.k.a. Chloe the Copy-Girl, who Ross had sex with when he and Rachel were Totally On A BREAK! 29:00 Cool guys don't look at explosions. They blow things up and then walk away. Who's got time to watch an explosion? There's cool guy errands that they have to walk to.

In all fairness, only idiots look at explosions. Dust and debris and shrapnel flying towards you.

To keep in the Nick Cage vein, i recommend The Rock. It has some good one-liners that feel very similar to this. Also if you like disaster movies: Volcano.

[@Ian-xx1xb]

The rock is on Jen's channel 👍

[@Lone-wolf-1982]

This movie is so much fun. All Star cast. Great reaction Jen!!

[@mattguy1980]

if you like colm meaney you will love him in LAYER CAKE with daniel craig which is also the film that was responsible for getting daniel craig the 007 gig

You made me laugh my "fu**ing" a$$ off when you were talking about how Obrien would be swearing on ST like he does on this movie! 🤣😂🤣😂

when I was growing up, my oldest brother went with his other highschool friends to see this movie in the theater, afterwards they came back and my brother said "Con Air was the greatest movie ever made".

[@TheGISGuy]

I was working in a movie theater when this came out. During the week, we didn't have many people in to watch it, so we would all hang out in the door to the auditorium and watch this movie repeatedly. Really is one of my all time favorites.

[@Daniel-kx3xs]

Hey Jen, I like your air guitar and sound effect skills 😊

We don't know the specifics about the Buscemi's character's murders but I think he spared her life because she didn't run away. She talked to him, drank tea with him, sang with him. They had a friendly encounter.

[@LordVolkov]

Garland seems very introspective (if a bit cold) about himself and his actions. He may be trying to reform. This is kinda the only way I can take his 'happy ending' as not horrifying 😅

[@szeddezs]

Garland Greene simply "found God and was healed" if you will, or had some sort of epiphany, when he and the little girl sang "He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands". Greene is an introspective, intelligent, self-aware sociopath, and no medical or psychiatric professional could figure him out and treat him because their approach lacked the simplicity of a children's hymn to something outside Greene's sociopathic self. The scene with him and the girl even starts out with them sitting opposite each other like a psychologist and their patient would, she asks whether he's sick and takes any medication, but then she asks him to sing with her, and his expression while singing speaks volumes. That's at least what I make of his arc.

17:20 you generally can't trust those on the other side of the law and no matter what you always 'trust but verify' if you trust at all but occasionally you'll find some you can trust more than anyone on the planet because they know exactly how important loyalty and trust are and sometimes you're also in a Mutually Assured Destruction type situation where if you snitch then those you snitched on with do the same to you but with things no one knows about. Best way to gain trust and leverage is to tell people secrets that seem vital but also can't majorly blowback on you and eventually those people will tell you things that could blow back on them and then you have a card you'll hopefully never have to pull especially because if they think about betraying you they'll also remember that time they gave you dirt on themselves which will act as a deterrent
