Episode #734: Terminal Velocity
Added 2024-04-16 04:00:04 +0000 UTC“There is a terminal velocity for us all!” - Steve, on death
On this week’s episode, SHEENPRIL takes to the skies… and dives into a great conversation about the outrageous skydiving-centric action movie, Terminal Velocity! Is James Gandolfini believable as a Russian heavy? Has there been better skydiving stunts in a major motion picture? How humiliating is it to die by drowning in your own fish tank? And why would an eight year-old kid want a skydiver to land at their birthday party? PLUS: What’s wrong with a little Tasteful Shadow?
Terminal Velocity stars Charlie Sheen, Nastassja Kinski, Christiopher McDonald, Melvin van Peebles, Hans Howes, Margaret Colin, Suli McCullough, Gary Bullock, and James Gandolfini as Ben Pinkwater; directed by Deran Sarafian.

2024-04-19 20:08:01 +0000 UTCOh man, Money Plane. I’m still mad about Kelsey Grammer’s character’s name/nickname in that one. Also, it contains all 3 Lawrence brothers.

2024-04-18 21:43:03 +0000 UTCHalfway through the episode I had to pause and find this movie because the plot description sounded insane. Tracked it down on Hoopla. Had no expectations. Part way in I found myself enjoying it.. Nastassja Kinski did have a lot to do and was an active protagonist. So somebody is wrong. 😑 Sheen is perfectly cast and puts on a clinic in portraying an arrogant asshole dipshit. If this were serious it would have been direct to video redbox forgettable .

2024-04-18 00:31:39 +0000 UTCIt’s funny Andrew mentioned Gandolfini being dubbed, which I did not know. While watching the movie, after hearing those lines I thought “damn! Gandolfini was such a great fucking actor.” Also thought it woulda been fantastic if during the scene when Sheen drives the rocket-car away, if there was an “iskydive” license plate on the back

2024-04-16 20:30:11 +0000 UTCI have broken a few bones in a couple of paragliding incidents, in a former, more adventurous life, but never skydived.
Adam Lewis
2024-04-16 19:00:34 +0000 UTCI've never skydived before, but I did paraglide once, and it was, to my surprise, extremely dull. At least there was no Charlie Sheen to sexually assault me. Gandolfini was only trying to stop this sharpie-assed maniac!

2024-04-16 12:32:24 +0000 UTCI think it's really important that everybody knows that Charlie Sheen is somehow 28 in this movie (!?)
