Feel free to post gifs until I get off work.

I will have one by the end of the day.

AMAZING COINCIDENCE ALERT! So, Adam Copeland wrestles under the ringname "Edge." Katrina Norman is originally a dancer who, according to her wikipedia page, trained "with the industry's top choreographers at the renowned EDGE [sic] Performing Arts Center." There ... that's all I have.

Say what you will about how poorly written this movie is with glaring plot holes and story elements that make no sense. The one thing they did nail though is that McGuillicuddy's passport he uses to get onto the Money Plane is in fact an Irish passport. Only in this one small area did they have an eye for details.

I am sad Jason doesn’t remember how June loves a plane movie, but happy to know that Paul and June’s first date was “Snakes on a Plane.”

Okay @JammerLea, whatcha got?

FINALLY! I've been wanting to watch this for YEARS! I've just never made the time.

This is a movie that I think a lot of us have seen. I think it's come up a occasionally but a glance through Letterboxd does have a lot of checks for it. So, I feel the need to rectify that.

Especially when you have Paige, who had to retire from a similar issue aged 25, and they insist that she's never gonna come back, and Edge came back aged 46, every bump he takes makes me wince a little. Then again, every time someone jumps off the ropes and lands on their feet, I still cringe because of the Sid Vicious injury.

Cosmonauts go to space, astronauts go to the moon, but deez nauts go in ya mouth, bitch!

If it turns out he's sitting on Mortal Kombat: Annihilation...

Disappointed

Okay, so this explains why the 2:22 live episode hasn't been released yet. Or possibly that movie was a really bad experience all around. Maybe this was addressed in Money Plane and also by the gang, but a huge oversight of playing Russian roulette on an airplane is the potential for a bullet to exit the player's skull, go through the plane's fuselage and depressurize the cabin while in flight. This episode features yet another great #howdidwegetscheer story to add to the Howdies. Getting MJH to sign Paul's failed math homework was diabolically genius. These stories absolutely need to be catalogued. Like Paul, I too have fallen under the spell of matte black finishes on cars. I'm not a car guy by any means, but I have to admit matte black paint jobs on most cars (especially of the classic muscle variety) look pretty damn cool. And, since it was also brought up by Jason (and it's one of my favorite films of all time), the story behind why the police cars in RoboCop are painted matte black is a happy accident. In this movie, RoboCop is supposed to have his own, Batman-like vehicle called the "Robo-Mobile" (or the "Turbo-Car"). However, when the final product arrived on set, it was met with laughter and abject ridicule from the crew. As the film's director and producers panicked and weighed their options, a then-brand new Ford Taurus drove by. Noting the sedan's rounded features (most car's silhouettes in the 1980's were square and boxy), the Taurus, they felt, looked bold and futuristic enough (again, for the era). They went to a rental car agency to rent a Taurus and dressed for the movie using--you guessed it--matte black paint. The OCP patrol car they created fit the bill, so the production secured a couple more Tauruses for the film. The OCP patrol car has gone on to become a pretty iconic part of this franchise, having appeared in all three original movies. There have been toy cars, model kits of this vehicle and even fan-produced replicas ("cars-players?"--sorry).

Not to be that guy, but Paul said there were 7 reviews and 38% of them were 5 star. This is impossible. 2 out of 7 would be 29% and 3 out of 7 would be 43%. More likely, there were 8 reviews with 3 five-stars

Definitely more card games

This enormous airport with multiple terminals and parking lots is also in an "UNDISCLOSED LOCATION." I feel like the dozens of non-money planes actively taxiing in that establishing shot probably have a sense of where it is! Also, for an exclusive, secretive operation, Money Plane is seemingly cool with hiring their flight crew off of Zip Recruiter and meeting them for the first time several minutes before takeoff.

I realize it’s a cliché, but this movie really needed an over-the-top Nick Cage-level performance from the lead. Edge plays it as if he’s taking this role seriously, which is completely wrong for this flick. Rest his soul, but imagine Roddy Piper in this role. It would make this movie transcendent.
