UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep33 'Air Force One' (1997)
10/18/24 • 77 min
Back in the mists of yore, when America's eternal 2024 presidential election began, we started a series of bonus episodes on movies about the US President (with the word 'about' being employed very loosely).
In this first episode of that series, we look at 1997's Air Force One, in which President Harrison Ford wages a one-man, definitely not Die Hard-esque in any way campaign of extreme non-negotiation with terrorists (who seem to somehow be both Russian ultra-nationalists and Kazakh communists simultaneously) who have hijacked the presidential plane in order to oh god just shoot me already.

Previous Episode
PREVIEW: Bonus Ep37 'Dick' (1999)
Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. By patron request, Daniel and Jack watch and discuss 1999's neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun.

Next Episode
UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep34 'Dave' (1993)
We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).
