Flyover Film Country

Is The Social Reckoning a worthy follow-up to 2010’s masterpiece the Social Network? No. Is Digger surprising and interesting? Yes. Is Walker wearing a suit on this episode? Also yes. Is Digger good? Depends. Did the crew have a fun time on this episode? Yes.

We’ve got another OW Special for ya. Olivia and Walker discuss the newest Colleen Hoover adaptation, Verity, starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson. Boy, oh, boy. Do we have some thoughts on this movie. Buckle up for a bumpy ride through this one.

Raccoon City has been decimated with a strange plague making the locals turn on each other. My colleagues and I are headed there now to investigate. Rumor has it that the Umbrella Corporation is behind it. But their CEO Paul Hausman hasn’t said a word amidst confirmed reports of unethical live subject testing.

You see how this looks, right?

At the end of the day, a corporation must be held accountable for the decision they make, don’t you agree?

Do you listen to podcasts?

Well there’s something you should know.

This is Flyover Film Country.

And if you listen here now, you’ll become part of podcast history.

It’s Olivia’s birthday today, so she got to pick the movie for this week’s episode. She chose She’s the Man, an iconic and highly quotable film from the 2000s teen movie-era. Listen to our crew quote some of the funniest lines from the movie and reflect upon the careers of the two stars, Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum.

Pack your bags. We’re going to Camp Miasma! Isaac, Walker, and Olivia talk all things Miasma, Jane Schoenbrun and their work, Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, desire, and lots and lots of gummies.

Coming of age or commentary on the intersection of capitalism, tradition, and culture? Maybe it's just about all the freaky little guys we keep seeing in this movie? Not sure, but it is Walter's very first Studio Ghibli movie and he's doing ASMR this whole episode and we're sorry about that but also you're welcome.

This movie rules.

Anne Hathaway + Dinosaurs +Phoebe Bridgers = Flyover Film Country

Walker and Olivia cover the cinematic masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey. This film is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, but is it really? Our duo takes a trip through the time and space to explore their own thoughts on this iconic film.

Isaac, Olivia, and Walker (and eventually Walter and a surprise special guest) tackle Tom Holland's fourth outing as Spidey, now officially the most-tenured web-slinger of all time, fresh off a $972 million opening weekend. Sony's product placement is somehow more shameless than ever, LeBron James gets dragged for slander against Memphis, and the crew settles into a full ranking of every live-action Spider-Man movie ever made (number one will SHOCK YOU). Also covered: 3D vs. Dolby, the merits of the Amazing suit, and why nobody should ever be allowed to helicopter into their own city again.

We’ve got another OW episode coming at ya. Olivia and Walker discuss the 2024 3-part documentary, Ren Faire. Why? Well they just love a good renaissance festival. Big renaissance people. Actually, it’s in preparation for the release of Lance Oppenheim’s film, Prime Time. Join OW as they discuss the intricacies of the Texas Renaissance Faire and the man behind it all, known as King George.
