GAM Bonus 053: Air Force One

A little something extra for everybody stuck without their family today. And everybody stuck with their family today.

So sad the Putin reference 13 minutes in is still relevant to this day

I'm pretty sure planes can land themselves. ~2006, I was in a plane that took off and then took a hard right turn, like a concerning one. The pilot told us the plane's auto pilot took off and then did the turn when it reached what it considered a safe altitude. That was taking off but I think he joked about planes being smarter than you think but not perfect. After that, I had the impression planes can land themselves

New patron here, love your show, just wanna do a slight push back, you CAN make plane combat look cool, this movie just didn't do it, the replay mode in Ace Combat 7 does a better job (even though I admit I still love the part where the F-15 does a Kevin Costner)

Loved the episode. I can’t believe you didn’t mention General Radek was played by Duke Leto Atreides. The song they are singing at his release, as called the Internationale.

Didn’t they say white or sassy? She was sassss-sssy!

The fax lady was black. It bothers me that you didn't mention this.

I kept waiting for you to talk about Halle Berry and then realized that's a whole different 1996 presidential airplane movie.

I’m 109yo and has never seen this. Fantastic. Also, just how many explosions and machine gun shoot outs can you have on a plane without even one problem? Asking for a friend.

The Real Moorey

Traitor guy should totally have Bugs Bunnyed the landing. He'd have been fine. Camacho 2024.

Andy Ward

A movie with 78% on Rotten Tomatoes? Interesting choice patrons...

I saw a documentary a few years back on plane technology and nowadays planes are able to land themselves, but it's only to be used for emergency situations.

Trivia: they used the Air Force One soundtrack n 2016 during the rally celebrating Trump winning the election.

I watched this movie for the first time ever last night as a part of my Gary Oldman filmography watch, not even knowing this was the bonus GAM for the month. I'm so stoked right now.

Planes can't really land them selves no. Computer assisted landings are a thing, instrument landings etc. Also please, please do the movie Stealth (2005) someday! It's from the Fast and the Furious director it has drifting fighter planes!

A friend of mine told me about watching this movie in a theater in England and listening to the entire audience laugh their heads off all of the way through. She said that after going through that, she has always seen this movie as a comedy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Harrison Ford looks angry cause it makes it easier to deal with people while high on drugs

Thank you, Heath, I have been wondering about the pronunciation of Parler. For sure they should have called it Parley but maybe that name is taken somewhere in the world.

Rachael Craig

Oh my god, Eli mentioned Tiptoes. That is a hilarious disaster of a movie. A movie about prejudice towards little people starring a Gary Oldman AS A LITTLE PERSON with horrible fake legs and Matthew McCaunaughey as his average-sized brother who has a crisis about possibly having a child with dwarfism.

Like Heath said about Parler: it apparently WAS originally supposed to be said like the French verb for "to speak", but y'know, it got used by a bunch of right wingers, and they're stupid, so ...

Markus D

Actually, I wasn't even thinking about this at all I just wish foreigners could donate

Reynold Hall

I was hoping for "Airplane!"

Fantastic. I can't wait to get to WiFi so I can download it.

Aircraft can for sure land automatically. Autoland was first certified in the 60s. Use autopilot to get close and then autoland to land the airplane. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland

these are always more fun when it's a movie I've seen.

Stay sane. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!! BUHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

Jon Herrin

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!! Stay sane ❤️❤️❤️

Nathan Sperry

Ah, a little disappointed that it wasn't JFK because someone in the "poll" post sold it really well. Bad action movies are less fun, but let's see how the podcast goes...

Markus D

Made my day so much better!! Thank you guys so much

GET OFF MY PLANE!

Michael Colon

I loved this movie as a kid. What if Die Hard happened on Air Force One? Great schlocky action is the result.

Chris

Yesss! I love this movie! Happy Thanksgiving 🖤
