## Resource

First time watching Con Air (1997)… and somehow this absurd action movie actually works. Is Nicolas Cage the reason this chaotic ‘90s classic still holds up, especially for first-time viewers? In our newest episode of What If I Don’t Like It?, I’m joined by multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker Jaina Cipriano for her first-ever viewing of Con Air... and the results are not what we expected! We break down: - Jaina’s honest first reaction to Con Air - Why the movie’s absurd tone actually works - How ‘90s action films differ from modern blockbusters - The role of humor in high-stakes storytelling - Nicolas Cage’s performance—and why it carries the film - Whether this movie is secretly… good? Plus, we talk about Jaina’s work as a multidisciplinary artist, immersive storytelling, and how fear can shape creative work. 🎧 ABOUT THE PODCAST What If I Don’t Like It? is a film podcast where guests confront their biases by watching movies they think they won’t enjoy, and then we unpack what actually happens! 📍 FOLLOW Jaina Cipriano Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jainastudio/ Website: https://www.jainaciprianophotography.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jainaphoto X (Twitter): https://x.com/jainastudio 📍 FOLLOW Kt Baldassaro ( @MovieRuntime ) Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@movieruntime Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movieruntime/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovieRuntime Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/MovieRuntime/ 🎬 MORE EPISODES YOU’LL LIKE Check out our episodes on Heavy Metal and Bad Boys for more unexpected movie deep dives. 👇 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more film analysis, movie deep dives, and filmmaker conversations.
