The original stage production of it, which was in, well, it premiered at the Heritage Repertory and it transferred to the Kennedy Center.

The Broadway production opened in 1989 and it starred Tom Hulse from Amadeus as Caffey and none other than Stephen Lang, Avatar's own, as Colonel Jessup.

Yes.

Yes.

And he's trying to normalize it.

But you know what it reminded me of, especially the first time with the Ukrainian call? He's Colonel Jessup at the end of A Few Good Men.

You're goddamn right I ordered him to be killed.

All right, I guess we're done here.

because they figured out that they can just shove the goalposts incredibly farther than they ever thought possible.

So they're just going to pursue that as long as possible.

I like the Colonel Jessup reference.

Like it's, again, it's, it's, it's also stupid.

So so why this ban then? Why would this administration want this headline out there, too?

Yeah, Nathan.

In English, Nathan Jessup.

Very good film.

Brilliant performance by Jack Nicholson.

There's never that one, I got your moment, really.

We mentioned one of those I got you moments in pop culture already with Lele Blonde, but a similarly shocking scene played out in A Few Good Men when Colonel Jessup, played by Jack Nicholson, admitted to ordering a Code Red.

For Mark Papura, a Delaware transactional lawyer whose episode, number 153, aired on May 13th, 2026, the Code Red scene shaped his view of lawyering based on the circumstances that led to the dramatic scene and the pressure Dan Caffey felt when facing off with such a high-ranking official.

I suppose it is Tom Cruise, his character in A Few Good Men.

"To sleep with him? Because that usually doesn't happen by accident." "Stop it," Brooke shouted.

Maddie rounded on her, feeling like Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men.

"No, you all wanted the truth.

Here's the truth." She jabbed a finger toward Jordan, her voice booming.
