United States of a Movie

It's time to head to Washington where it's raining everything - bullets, lava bombs and bullets. It's Pierce Brosnan vs the volcano in 'Dantes Peak', Sylvester Stallone vs PTSD and douchebags in 'First Blood' and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan vs conventional rom-coms in 'Sleepless In Seattle' Learn more about your ad choices.

Oklahoma seemed like the largest state in the Union this week as the USofAMovie crew binge an entire season of Scorcese true crime with 'Killers Of The Flower Moon', endure what feels like a week long musical with 'Oklahoma!' and then there was the cool breeze of 'Twister'. Oh wait, just kidding - there's 90% chance of a hot take from Hurricane Will. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megapho...

Mississippi - the sweatiest state in all of cinema becomes the star of of USofAMovie. While many may have assumed that blockbuster courtroom dramas or tip-top Cohen Brother's movies would be the obvious choice, you'd be stone cold wrong. Will introduces Ryan and Oli to Brian "Easter Island Head" Bosworth in 1991's 'Stone Cold'. They came for 'Hard Ticket To Hawaii' ridiculousness and stayed for th...

Considering it's spooky season it's time to go to the State Of Fear. Will and Ryan take sick pleasure in torturing Oli like a bunch of hippies in Texas with 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', force feeding him creepiness like the breastfeeding scene of 'Barbarian' while Oli tries to find rhyme to the reason with the inventive and original 'Cabin In The Woods'. It's time to get freaky. Learn more about...

Louisiana gives us a little bit of everything:- 'Homefront' is the pinnacle of 90s action who's only problem is that it was made in 2013, 'The Skeleton Key' asks big questions like "Why isn't Kate Hudson ever wearing a bra?" and then "Blue Bayou" plays a game of 'How much bad news can you fit in to one movie'. All this sets up what might be the hardest debate we've had on The USofAMovie Podcast Le...

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.

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...

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'....

A movie who's only redeeming factor is that it doesn't have any redeeming factors, Betty White cultural inappropriations and Al Pacino looking the most tired anyone has ever looked? We must be heading to Alaska by way of Massachusetts and British Columbia Learn more about your ad choices.

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...

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

After Oli took a road trip through the country he set this week's GPS to the great state of Georgia, where the fellas soon found out they wouldn't be taking a canoe trip down a river any time soon as they all got to enjoy (?) 'Deliverance' for the first time. They then went from squealing pigs to squealing tyres with everyone's first pick 'Baby Driver' and then settled in for a warm cozy hug from...

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...

No time for the quiet island life on this episode because Hawaii gets weird. Oli defends the "best bad movie ever made" with the unsinkable 'Battleship', Ryan brings the comedy and Jason Segel's penis with 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and Will makes it strange, sexy and hilarious with the truly bizarre, yet fascinating, 'Hard Ticket To Hawaii'.

We head to the mountains of Colorado (and Nevada and Italy apparently) to duke it out like Wolverines to see which movie takes the Colorado crown. Oli brought porn for 80's conservatives with 'Red Dawn', Ryan reminds us that 90s action is the best action with 'Cliffhanger' and Will brings it home with the best diarrhea scene in movie history with 'Dumb and Dumber'. Time to grab your Austrian frien...

Sh*t. Just. Got. Real - This week the guys take a trip to the infamous state of Florida where it's the ultimate grudge match as they pit the motorcycle ninjas of 'Miami Connection' (who are in Orlando?) against some very Bad Boys in Bad Boys 2 (whatcha gonna do?) and the drag queens of 'The Birdcage' (Dianne Wiest infection anyone?). Strap in - it gets weird Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

While the guys skipped RIGHT over the movie 'Chicago' - they certainly didn't skip the actual city when it came to pinning down the ultimate Illinois movie. Oli reveals his penchant for Elliot Ness cosplay as a childhood fan of famous kid's movie 'The Untouchables', Ryan certainly didn't skip out on HIS assignment with 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and then producer Will decided to send the podcast o...

The hunt for the ultimate North Carolina movie gets more complicated as TV personality, documentarian and Morning Radio host Beth Troutman guests on the show and kicks off the debate over whether movies that are SHOT in North Carolina can compete with movies that are SET in North Carolina.

There's so much to the great state of Nevada - probably. We'll never know because the fellas went all in on Vegas, baby!
