On today's episode of Highkey Obsessed Thomas is joined by Chris and Michael to talk about National Treasure a classic movie from their adolescence that maintains a truly special place in their heart. They discuss the best scenes, quotes, characters, and scene stealers from this movie, plus what characters from heist movies they'd have liked to see take part in the escapades here.
All this and more on today's episode!

If you love National Treasure you'll love this episode, but just a note, there is some swearing and a few risqué jokes so despite this being basically a children's movie, this episode probably isn't ideal for someone below Middle School age.
