This week we start a slew of Erotic Thrillers with the first name you think of when you think erotic and thriller, Jim Belushi. We watched Traces of Red! A trashy movie set in the swamps of Florida.

Host: Nic

Panel: Jeremy, Matt

Directed by Andy Wolk Starring Jim Belushi, Lorraine Bracco, Tony Goldwyn, Jim Piddock, William Russ, Faye Grant

Hey everybody, welcome back to Myopia Movies.

This week we’re tackling an action-silly Nicolas Cage classic: Con Air. And honestly—if you’ve never seen it before, I almost want to tell you to stop and watch it first… but our discussion is good enough that you’ll survive either way.

Fair warning: this episode got chaotic. So chaotic, in fact, that our newly married editor and panelist, Nur Chernnet, had to cut nearly 15 minutes of material. We went completely off the rails. What you’re hearing is the best of what survived. We hope you enjoy the wreckage.

As always, keep listening, keep subscribing—and now for some big news.

If you’re listening to this when it drops (mid-January 2026) and you’re in the Metro Atlanta area, make sure you follow CineProv on Facebook. At the end of the month—the final Wednesday—we’re launching a brand-new regular CineProv show. Even better, Keiko and Jeremy, two members of the Myopia crew, will be debuting their first show that night. Go support them. It’s going to be great.

One last thing: attached to this episode is a link to our Amazon Wish List. If you pick a movie from the list, not only will we cover it on the podcast (thank you for the support!), but we’ll also record an exclusive, personalized riff just for you—attached to a DVD so you can watch us tear into the movie specifically in your honor.

This week on Myopia Movies, we learn a valuable cinematic lesson: you can be absolutely slovenly and still be the hero of a movie.

We watched Mitchell. Yes, that Joe Don Baker vehicle, where our rumpled, sweat-soaked protagonist somehow gets the girl… and then has her arrested for prostitution.

Chivalry is dead, folks. Our hero, ladies and gentlemen.
