When you think Pennsylvania you think Philadelphia, and when you think Philadelphia any normal person thinks 'Rocky' - unfortunately for you nobody on this podcast is a normal person which is why we have Harrison Ford going full Amish, Tom Cruise playing a 6ft 4 monster and a movie that manages to end up being the greatest spoof of itself ever made - 'Sudden Death'. Join the USofAMovie team as the...

This week we have a close encounter with legendary westerns. 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' delivers the kind of quips and adventures you'd expect from a Shane Black movie with a side order of Burt Bacharach while 'Unforgiven' couldn't be more different with a who's who of Oscar legends delivering a tour de force of realism and violence... it's almost like we're a real podcast or something L...

Things. Get. Weird. Last time around 'Insomnia' took the crown but this week left us with a fever dream. We had one movie with all the pieces that don't add up to a whole with the perfectly fine 'Mystery, Alaska' but then boy, oh boy did things go off the rails by careening down the rails in the truly bonkers 'Runaway Train' - the best train based, Soviet style, Japanese, art-house, Shakespearean,...

Pahk your cah in Hahvahd yahd, my friends as we pit three Boston movies against each other. This week's newcomers are BOTH first time screenplays, that feature world class stand up comedians, who's scripts were the hottest things in Hollywood - but only one would go on to acclaim while the other obtained dubious 'cult' status Learn more about your ad choices.

It's schlocky 90's action up against edgy 80's comedy and old school 50's horror. We head back to Pennsylvania to be confused by how Sudden Death won, amazed with what you can get away with in the 80s and bemused by 'The Blob' Learn more about your ad choices.

We return to our State World Champion's home state of New Mexico this week - but can our champ 'City Slickers' (and Will's favourite movie) hold on to it's crown? The USofAMovie crew feel like they may have an ace in the hole as some young ruffians come a-gunning for them Learn more about your ad choices.

Since finding out Shane Black's 2018 film 'The Predator' was not filmed or even SET in New Mexico, Will and Ryan decided that before selecting a replacement for the next episode it was time to suck it up, watch it anyway and compare it to the sequel/prequel that was the exception that disproves the rule - 'Prey' Learn more about your ad choices.

For New Mexico 3 friends go on a nostalgic adventure of self discovery... by hosting this podcast and watching 'City Slickers'.

It's time to pick a movie for Michigan or there will be... trouble. Can any movie top Robocop? We try and find out lickity split by unleashing Eminem and his lyrical flow, well at least for the last 20 minutes of '8 Mile', and we bring another slow walking malevolent force into the fray with surprising horror flick 'It Follows'. A movie that teaches us that we should never have sex, but if we do m...

What can claim the Georgia crown from 'Troop Zero'? Will it be the Burt Reynolds/Hal Needham movie with an intro song from Jerry Reed or the Burt Reynolds/Hal Needham movie with an intro song from Jerry Reed?

This week's choices come out swinging, with 3 movies that are absolutely dripping in Oregon. 'The Goonies', which some of the fellas consider a 'perfect movie' goes up against the bizarro Goonies - 'Stand By Me' (a fondly remembered movie that shows everyone in Oregon is apparently a terrible person) and the truly original Nicholas Cage movie 'Pig', which is like John Wick if you replace the nunch...

Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind - unless, of course, you've been smoking crystal meth and you've got a pocket full of human teeth. It's time to head back to Hawaii to find out whether murderous aliens, murderous murderers or Jason Segal's penis are what define Hawaii the most Learn more about your ad choices.

So is Ben Affleck really "the bomb in Phantoms"? Time to find out! We head back to Colorado to attempt to sunset the domination of 'Red Dawn'.

We head back to Florida where we bring back podcast fave 'Miami Connection' to pit a rock band with a penchant for Taekwondo and murdering motorcycle ninjas up against a bunch of kids who are stickier than we felt after watching Bad Boys 2, and two lovable and horny middle aged women from Nebraska... that sounds like a documentary about Florida now we think about it Learn more about your ad choice...

Leave it to The USofAMovie gang to make Christmas a bit hornier and scarier than usual. Can 'Batman Returns', the horniest Batman movie of them all (even without Bat-nips), take down the best (and only?) Christmas, horror, comedy, kids movie 'Gremlins' OR will the Christmas classic 'It's A Wonderful Life' beat them both to a pulp? Grab your slippers and a hot chocolate and come find out! Learn mor...

We return to Illinois to attempt to dethrone a USofAMovie all time classic - 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' - if it's going to happen it'll be either be the result of the sick burns of 'Backdraft' or the sick tunes of 'The Blues Brothers' Learn more about your ad choices.

It's time to head back to North Carolina to see if we can top the home run that is 'Bull Durham'. Will 'The Campaign' get enough votes to take the top spot or will 'Maximum Overdrive' hold the line (of cocaine) and give us the rush (of cocaine) to make us feel like we're on some sort of drug (like cocaine) Learn more about your ad choices.

It's time to head back to Nevada to see if we can topple 'Casino'. They say in Vegas the house always wins, the exception to that rule being if you're watching 'Showgirls' because in that case EVERYONE loses. But it's okay, if you're feeling a little sticky and gross after some of the worst sex scenes in history take a dirt bath with the residents of Perfection, Nevada with a B-movie that gets an...

This week it's a 'State of Thanks' as we try and find the ultimate Thanksgiving movie.

It's once again time for 'The Wraith' to come in hot like a vengeful alien undead spirit that manifests itself as both a car AND high school kid as it goes head to head... to head with 'Raising Arizona'; the only movie this week to have both the state in the title AND a character's name - as well as 'Just One Of The Guys'; a movie about a terrible journalist who will be just fine as she falls back...
