Happy New Year! We're currently watching Airplane vs Volcano, a terrible Dean Cain movie, and breaking it down for our Patrons in great detail. In the spirit of the season, we thought it should be shared with more of you, so here's the second part of our breakdown, just in case you're interested. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe.

There's a LOT to hate about this film, so there's plenty more on our Patreon at patreon.com/ftrump if you just can't get enough... We're sorry.
