United States of a Movie

It's Spooky Season so it's time to go through the looking glass once again as Oli slowly comes to terms with the idea that Horror can be fun. Time for the fellas to Mann up with Michael Mann's 'Manhunter', to figure out if you really can scream in space with 'Event Horizon' and will it be grimaces or smiles as they watch 'Smile 2'?

So a mystical voice told us that if we recorded a podcast people would come to listen to it in a cornfield in Iowa. Ridiculous right? No more so than a biological weapon making everyone a murderous psychopath or the fact that Julia Robert's boyfriend tries to 'out hair' her. It's time to head to heaven... I mean Iowa.

Movies so Arkansas you'll feel like you live there. It's Jeff Nichols vs Jeff Nichols with 'Mud' going up against 'Shotgun Stories' - but don't rule out 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown'; the true story, slasher movie with weird comedy beats Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the crew head to South Carolina, home of shagging, horny octogenarians and an inexplicable amount of naked swamp bathing.

Considering that it seems most people go to Wyoming to be left alone, it's somewhat surprising that the overarching theme of this week's movies is people having their peace stolen from them. Whether it's drunken murderers, aliens looking for an EDM concert or a small child driving a man to triple homicide with his incessant questions - Wyoming has something for everyone Learn more about your ad ch...

Adam Tinius aka Entertain The Elk returns for a special Texas Challenge Episode where we try to topple reigning champion 'Friday Night Lights' with a John Wayne classic 'Rio Bravo' and the greatest action movie of all time... shot in Waco, Texas...

Do movies have to be good to be good? Hell no. Our trip to Ohio proves that point over and over again as we ride the Devil's Backbone with rollerblading movie 'Airborne' and then we find all the joy in the ridiculousness of a techno-thriller that walked so 'Final Destination' could run - 'Ghost In The Machine' Learn more about your ad choices.

What's better than one Robin Williams movie? Two, right? WRONG. Our return to New Hampshire was a two-for-none deal where 'The World According To Garp' frustrated us and then 'The Rules of Attraction' left a bad taste in our mouths... you could say it left us In The Mouth of Madness - which is what we should have just watched twice, instead.

After the boys all picked LA based heist movies for their first California episode, San Francisco native Kari Byron decided to bust the myth that Los Angeles is the only city in California. Her (ice) pick of 'Basic Instinct' takes a stab at the title of ultimate California movie while we also head back to the year 2019 with one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made with 'Blade Runner'....

Macaulay Culkin as a psycho killer? No we don't mean 'Home Alone' - in this case he's definitely the bad son in 'The Good Son' where he tries to kill Frodo Baggins by chucking him off a cliff. Basically it's Lord Of The Rings in Maine. But can he also take down Vin Diesel as a robot or a seal that blows raspberries? Time to find out Learn more about your ad choices.

We return to DC to try and topple a USofAMovie favourite - 'Dave' On one hand we've a very young 62 year old Clint Eastwood trying to save a President from assassination with 'In The Line Of Fire' while Daniel Day Lewis and EVERY ACTOR ON EARTH give us the movie America needs right now with the criminally overlooked 'Lincoln' Learn more about your ad choices.

Nothing like the threat of Global Thermonuclear War to bring your spirits up. Instead of Oli listing '10 Things I Hate About You' to last week's Oklahoma movies, things hit a '(Dante's) Peak' with a 42 year old movie that couldn't feel more prescient - 'War Games'.

We return to Oklahoma and bring out the big guns of an American Classic that defines a generation and puts Tulsa, Oklahoma on the map with 'UHF'.

A musical adventure featuring The Klan, a musical, vampire adventure featuring The Klan and an Oscar winning whodunit featuring racists - we have to be honest, on paper, Mississippi sounds like it's got it's problems but BOY are these movies absolute bangers. 3 movies that go down better than Hailee Steinfeld's saliva after she aggressively spits in your mouth Learn more about your ad choices.

We head back to The Big Easy once again because how can you make a Louisiana movie without using New Orleans? A city that's great for racial profiling, muggings from a ripped Stanley Tucci and hunting humans for sport. Never fear there's slow mo galore, Wilford Brimley being an absolute badass and JCVD punching a snake Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices See Privacy Poli...

We head back to Iowa to see if we can find a home run to challenge the legendary Field of Dreams. This week the USofAMovie guys went slow and introspective with some powerhouse performances in What's Eating Gilbert Grape but there's a dark horse coming in slow - really, really slow with 'The Straight Story'. A real movie about a real guy that's really a Disney David Lynch movie... for real Learn m...
