On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are flying through the clouds and kicking some Nazi butt in the 1991 film by Joe Johnston, The Rocketeer.
If I had Howard Hughes money, I would 100% build myself a jetpack, too. Who can blame the guy? Who in the world doesn\u2019t want to fly high up with the birds and such? Even now, when commercial air travel is so prevalent and relatively affordable, a jetpack would be the coolest thing ever.
And where are they? We\u2019ve been told, in countless Disney theme park exhibitions, that the future is going to be full of jetpacks and pill-sized meals. When will this future finally happen?
I\u2019m sick of waiting!
Cliff makes it looks like so much fun in this film. I\u2019m not looking to strap a sleek helmet onto my head and become some sort of high-flying superhero here. I would like to beat the freeway traffic and get to where I want to go in less than an hour, though. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s too much to ask.
All I\u2019m saying is this movie is fun as heck, rousing time. And if you know someone who\u2019s created or is even working on a viable personal jetpack, then let me know.
