They managed to get like two whole stage out of the airport, the Chicago airport in this movie. And I don't know. That's the New York airport for sure. It's got to be in the New York airport

In Context

... movie because he needed to feel like a big guy. Anyway. So anyway, let's talk about the game now. Thankfully, not in the game. The game. You skip over the hotel, right? Yeah. Kevin's outside for most of this movie, to be honest, like stages. They managed to get like two whole stage out of the airport, the Chicago airport in this movie. And I don't know. That's the New York airport for sure. It's got to be in the New York airport because he wouldn't be it for people outside of the tri-state area. The biggest airport in the Manhattan area, I believe is JFK, unless some other one cropped up. The other one, like the ...

... Even if you didn't read, look at, or if there were sense, smell Clamp in the '90s, you probably knew something they were doing. Even if you just watched Kids WB, did Card, Capita, Sakura air in the '90s on Kids WB, or was that later? If it wasn't the '90s, it was early odds. But Frankie, you mentioned smelling Clamp. Do you know what a Clamp smells like? It smells like something your dad keeps in the garage to hold some wood that he never gets to. It just smells like old giving up. ...

... Usually I just trail off into nonsense. But no, this game features classic 16-bit platformer, giant ass airplane hangar with platforms in it, design, and it kind of takes place in an airplane hangar at one point. Oh my God. That's the closest stage in the game. I wouldn't say it's like a complete airplane hangar. You kind of have at least decent idea where you go. It's at least kind of linear. Depends on the level. I think the New York stages, like the outside and New York stages are big. Although I guess we…

... This is the most like, okay. So, okay. All right. We got to describe the sequence of levels. It goes airport terminal. Yep.

It is factual that it's hard to get lost in New York, but when you're a kid who's never been there and you don't have a map, you just have a newspaper that says wet bandits escape something the news didn't know about yet. The excuse this time is he was following his dad in an airport terminal, but it turns out it's just a guy who looks like his dad. He's on the wrong plane. ...

Marvin, Harry are just real men attacking a real boy in this game. Everyone else is just a robot that throws luggage at Kevin. It's so funny. Everything in this game is out to literally kill Kevin. I don't know what Bob's talking about. Like, guys walking down in the airport, they're going to kill Kevin. The, the baggage handles literally throw baggage at Kevin. Like they are, they are targeting him with baggage. ...

... I'm just saying if this kid's hurling bricks, there, there, there has to be something like, I think I should be able to call the cops on the kid. Cause I'm just like, he's throwing bricks. Now in, in the, the airport level, the first level you're given a baseball by level three, when you're outside, he just has rocks. Like what happened to the baseballs? ...
