Vermont: Super Troopers vs What Lies Beneath vs Dead Poets Society
Enhance... Enhance... ENHANCE - to be honest it doesn't matter how close you look at it, there's no explanation for why 'What Lies Beneath' is so bad. a $100 million turkey that made us miss 'In The Mouth Of Madness'. 'Dead Poets Society' gives Oli an opportunity to talk about his time at boarding school - something he NEVER gets to do - while 'Super Troopers' is the sweet syrupy dessert we need.

Alabama:- Selma vs Sweet Home Alabama vs Big Fish
This podcast is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get... unless of course you read the description on the box. In this case we totally avoided the Forrest Gumpian sized elephant in the room and decided to explore Alabama from different angles. Oli had a dream to bone up on American civil rights by watching 'Selma', Will figured a fever dream that makes you miss your Dad was the best way to go with 'Big Fish'. And finally Ryan decided he hates us and life itself by selecting the "most 2000s movie ever made" by bringing 'Sweet Home Alabama' - the movie known for being 'the worst thing to happen to New York City since 9/11'

Nailed It!
Love your movie insights! Even when I’ve already seen the film, hearing you talk about it enhances the experience. Great job on New Hampshire. As a resident, I accept your pick! Gonna either rewatch all three Jumanji films OR go insane. Haven’t decided which yet. Looking forward to following along on your movie road trip!
