Manage episode 379976661 series 3439386
Don and Jordan from 'I Scene It' podcast join Sean to defend Airborne, a 1993 film about inline skating.
Sean couldn't find anywhere to watch the film online.
Basic Plot: Mitchell is a California kid and his rich, awesome parents tell him that a trip to Australia...but his parents send him to Cincinnati (in the middle of winter) to his Aunt and Uncle's. With best mate Seth Green, a jock brother, and a visually attractive female, Mitchell attempts to keep his head above water in his new environment. To help with his acclimatisation, he decides to take on Devil's Backbone on his rollerblades.
Discussion Points:
-Sean thinks Airborne is spelt another way. It isn't.
-Don and Jordan lay out the basic plot of the film and when they first saw the film.
-Sean brings it all back to an English example: Michael Crawford's rollerblading stunts in 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em' (1973-1975).
-The lack of health and safety in the 1990s.
-Sean is confused by the American obsession with yearbooks.
-The most-1990s character in the history of film nominations are in!
-Don, Jordan and Sean try to figure out if anyone wants a fourth Cornetto Trilogy film.
Raised Questions:
-Would you pay £40 for a single DVD?
-Just visually attracted?
-Where in Cincinnati is this massive rollerblading hill?
-Were Don or Jordan rollerbladers?
-Does the Review It Yourself audience know what a VHS is?
-Why did this film fail to make a cultural impact?
-Was this film above Matthew Broderick?
-Is Jordan wearing pants?
-Is it obvious that Sean is English?
Random Recommendations:
