Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Last year on the show, we did the A to Z of the A-T's where you can probably get outworked.

Each week we will break apart the A-T's with that week's letter.

We're kicking off the 90s.

And tonight, it's all about the letter A.

One of the biggest movies of the 90s, Armageddon.

It made over half a billion dollars, right?

And a huge, huge, completely over the top 90s movie, directed by Michael Bay, with a who's who of Hollywood in the movies.

It's stacked with premier talent.

This is a movie that has only grown more and more beautiful with time.

I loved it.

I tell you what it is.

It's like an irony sort of free bulletproof zone, isn't it?

I mean, looking back on it, the actors and the director try to claim that they knew that it was irony.

They didn't.

Not in 1998.

They lent in 100% and we're the better for it.

If you're trying to remember Armageddon, okay, it's a load of oil drillers who are putting a space rocket with zero training, all right?

People train for years, okay? Years to go up to space. They just, they need these guys because there's a meteorite coming to planet Earth. And the only chance they've got is this renegade bunch.

I love also montage where they're getting the gang together.

Any movie that does that, I'm all in.
