Flyover Film Country

BULL WORM??? More like SAND WORM!! Walter is back and refused to let Olivia and Isaac talk about Dune: Part 2. For real though, this episode has one of the best cold opens of all time, so tune in, folks! Madame Web isn’t that bad! Remember Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Can you feel the cognitive dissonance yet?!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith RULES. It's on Amazon Prime. Also in this episode: Jeffrey Wright fanclub strikes back, and the haunting of The Zone of Interest. Swaguilarkeleven strikes back, too.

It's time for all the annoying cinephiles in your life to leave the TV glow and gather for the podcast event of the spring! Senior Writer for Collider.com, author of "The Barbarian Best Picture Race Starts Now" (from 2022), and local frontman for Little Rock-based punk rock phenomenon Zilla, ladies and gentlemen, we got him: Sam Williamson is here to help us break down the 96th Academy Award nomin...

Welcome to the NEW AND IMPROVED Flyover Film Country! We're taking a new direction, friends - gone are the days of skipping our episodes if you haven't seen the subject film or tv series! Olivia and Isaac were tired of committing to just one item, so we decided to just talk about everything. This episode is the start of something new, "fetch," if you will! We're starting every new episode with mai...

"Who abandoned Snoopy in the vestibule??" 2023 came and went and it was an... amazing year for movies?? Olivia and Isaac share their ten favorite movie experiences of the year with some overlap and some personal favorites. In fact, Isaac's 10-9-8 actually are all labelled "would probably make Olivia the therapist go insane." It's that kind of episode. 

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! Olivia and Isaac are back with our third every holiday special! Year one of Flyover Film Country was our top five favorite Christmas movies, year two was Little Women (yes its a Christmas movie, get outta here) and this year it's our favorite wet bandit tale Home Alone! Did you know a 1931 German film directed by one of the minds behind Looney Tunes is paid homa...

Otherwise known as one of the best religious movies of all time. The Flyover Crew is back! We're talking about the critically acclaimed 1998 animated classic, the Prince of Egypt.

Marty is on Letterboxd just in time for Killers of the Flower Moon! In this episode, Olivia and Isaac team up to discuss the director’s first film in four years! He’s been known to adapt books from a range of stunning true stories, and this historical journalistic effort from David Grann is monumental. Marty made something really stunning, truly overwhelming.

A week late is better than not at all, right? YEAH we're off schedule and YEAH Walter still isn't on this episode and YEAH we're doing the best we can. Give us money and then we can do this full time. Until then? Shut up and listen. Oh yeah anyway this episode is the next in our ongoing series on faith-based films, both good and bad.

WARNING: the movie Prisoners deals with issues of child abduction, abuse, and other dark and upsetting topics. This episode does not include any graphic descriptions of these things but tread carefully because important plot points revolve around these themes. Aren’t we ALL prisoners in our own way????? The fun times you had with us on The Sandlot, Hot Rod and Barbie is OVER: time to get super ser...

I'm Isaac, and I like to party. I'm Olivia, and I also like to party. I'm Walter, and I, too, like to party. Time for Hot Rod, baby.

Isaac and Olivia chat with Harper Brock, director of the forthcoming true crime documentary Missing in the Midwest. Harper shares a sneak preview of the details surrounding the case in question, and also the ways in which her family was involved. The conversation inevitably turns toward flyover country, a concept that Harper appreciates more than most filmmakers. Tune in to hear more about the doc...

After tackling the summer blockbuster double header that was Barbenheimer, the Flyover Crew is taking it back to their roots with 1993's all-timer coming-of-age story, The Sandlot. Deal with it, pee drinking crap face.

And with the recording of this episode, the prophecy has been fulfilled. In the beginning, there was Barbie. And then the fire nation attacked. Actually, Oppenheimer attacked. With a nuclear bomb. It was a bomb. Oppenheimer had a nuclear bomb. He made the nuclear bomb and then attacked a country with it. The bomb was made by Oppenheimer. He made the nuclear bomb. He made the nuclear bomb and then...

oooooooooo BABY IT'S FINALLY HERE. We all (barely) survived the Barbenheimer weekend and we could not have loved it more. Spoilers ahead for this episode, but Olivia and Walter basically spent an hour gushing about Greta's new instant classic. They're also joined by LA ex-pat Whitney Butler, who gives some super interesting insight to the film industry in Hollywood!

At what point does the mission beCOME possible? I mean, he's been at it for a while. Ok, remember that time I made ChatGPT write an episode description? We're gonna try that again right here: "In this exhilarating episode of Flyover Film Country, your hosts Isaac and Olivia dive headfirst into the adrenaline-pumping world of the highly anticipated movie, "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part...

Movies are BACK. Ok, maybe they never left. And ok, maybe this movie isn't spectacular. And ok, maybe Walter doesn't watch movies. And ok, maybe Walter isn't even on this episode. But he DID produce it and he DID write this description. And he IS about to go make some taco salad.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a Sims Family Staple! Isaac and Olivia cover it and compare it to Taika Waititi's other films. Isaac mis-states an actress' name repeatedly. Olivia and Isaac muse on the healthcare system in New Zealand, how they can never remember the events in the various Jurassic Park movies, and much, much more.

Did anyone think this movie would be anything less than phenomenal? After 2018's surprise animated hit about web-slinger Miles Morales, this sequel has been EAGERLY anticipated. We won't spoil anything here (gotta listen to the podcast episode for that), but is this the perfect sequel? Again, listen to the episode you morons!!!! Stop reading!!!!! Hit play!!!!!!!!

Lady Bird is Greta Gerwig's 2017 masterpiece debut. It's legitimately a perfect movie. That is all that needs to be included in the shownotes.

TUMBLE OUT OF BED AND STUMBLE INTO THE KITCHEN BECAUSE IT'S 9!!! TO!! 5!!! Join us for a deep dive into the latest Clement Family Staple, and Isaac's first foray into the 1980 cult classic comedy. Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin are unforgettable in this hysterical comedy. Did it win best song at the 53rd Academy Awards? Did Ronald Reagan condone the ole mary jane scene? How many times h...

"I want to put some distance between us and the SCENE OF OUR LAST GODDAMNED CRIME!" Did you know that Ridley Scott's best film was made in 1991 and won best screenplay at the 1992 Academy Awards?

Did you know this is the first in a FOUR PART series on Flyover...

When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made...
