About this episode

The episode discusses the 1994 skydiving action film Drop Zone, featuring themes of revenge and extreme sports.

On the third episode of Airpril, U.S. Marshal Pete Nessip is out for revenge for the death of his partner and brother by crazed former DEA Agent Ty Moncrief. But in order to fulfill his vengeance, he’ll have to take to the skies and master the most extreme sport of all in John Badham’s skydiving action thrillride Drop Zone . I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me on this jump are fellow cinephiles and extreme sports fans Mike and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include a film that could be described as “aggressively 90s”; Wesley Snipes can’t decide if his character is John Wick or the comic relief; and finally, Ryan’s journey with this film comes full circle as he regales us with his tale of staying in “The Drop Zone Room” at Las Vegas’s Planet Hollywood.
