Con Air with Jaina Cipriano - Episode 45
About this episode
In this episode, Kt Baldassaro and guest Jaina Cipriano discuss the unexpected appeal of the action movie Con Air during her first viewing.
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)…
