You can totally see everything, btw

You see how this looks, right?

At the end of the day, a corporation must be held accountable for the decision they make, don’t you agree?

Do you listen to podcasts?

Well there’s something you should know.

This is Flyover Film Country.

And if you listen here now, you’ll become part of podcast history.

This movie rules.

Isaac isn't on this episode but here's what he thinks about all this: "If I were making the description it would be about how annoying it is that invitation has been shortened to invite. Invite is a verb, not a noun."

• The World Cup
• House of the Dragon Season 3
• Vanderpump rules
• House Hunters
• The grain structure in the Werwulf trailer
• That old-ass Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup video game
• And much more

Walter is back this week and we'll see how it goes !!!

oh my bad I thought Isaac and Olivia did a whole episode talking about one of the most influential Christcore bands to ever hit the scene. Sorry about that. This one's about the new movie with Princess Mia and that one actress who played Mamma Mia.

(Walter wrote this. I'm back now)

Walker and Olivia talk about this movie, though.

None of the above is true. Maybe you should just turn your brain off sometimes and laugh at a stupid movie.

This is what happens when you let Walter write the episode descriptions.

Super 8 is a pre-Stranger Things, Spielberg-inspired, 80s-set monster movie hearkening back to an era where kids rode bikes everywhere without fear of death. Directed by J.J. Abram’s between his first and second Star Trek films, this movie is a lot of fun but doesn’t make a lot of sense? We had a great time discussing several of the child actor performances, particularly a young Elle Fanning. Tune in for more!!

Ladies and gentlemen... Flyover FILM Country!

The 95th Academy Awards was also the longest in quite a while, much like this podcast episode! Olivia and Isaac are joined again by Colin and Shelby Lingo to discuss the high highs, funny moments and snubs of the 2023 Oscars. Did Austin Butler really talk like Elvis on the set of Dune: Part 2? Dave Bautista says no, but there's really no way to tell. Colin and Shelby also did way better than us at watching the nominated shorts. They're the real pros on this episode.

Do one of these f*****s ever pop out of your chest and have like a huge kill shot?

That's probably one of the most vulgar episode descriptions I've ever written but it's relevant and you have to deal with it. We're joined by our friend and local film maker Walker Walthall to talk about Alien: Romulus AND the Little Rock 48 Hour Film Festival, where Walker directed a short film and Walter was the DP for it!

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 serious with Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners. This 2013 film stars Hugh Jackman as a father in search of his abducted daughter and Jake Gyllenhaal as the detective assigned to the case. Olivia dissects the various characters’ prisons using her therapist superpowers and Isaac nerds out about the intricacies of the layered plot. Sleepovers? Bad. Terrence Howard? Really good. Viola Davis? Even better. Paul Dano? The performance that got him the part of the Riddler (probably). Although this is a very very intense film, we highly recommend it. Tune in to hear more!

Warning: Isaac and Olivia express their excitement for the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the Bikeriders, Killers of the Flower Moon, and share their enthusiasm for the raunchy teen comedy Bottoms before diving into Prisoners.

Thelma & Louise is a perfect film. Isaac said it, so it must be true. Olivia also believes it to be perfect, so if you find Isaac's opinion hit or miss, you can take her word for it. It's a joy to pop open a non-alcoholic seltzer on a Tuesday night and chat about a good flick, let alone a perfect flick like this one! It was a treat for the OG Flyover duo to chat about this unique and heartfelt Scott film. 

Oh also, Walter definitely did not produce this because on the day this was published he became a FATHER! Her name is Thelma Louise Lyle, no joke! Olivia is extremely persuasive, it's the Therapist in her. Congrats Walter on the new family member, and no robbing any gas stations on the way home! No one wants a tag on their toe!

Oh yeah anyway this episode is the next in our ongoing series on faith-based films, both good and bad. I Still Believe, based on the true story, is about the Christian singer and song-writer Jeremy Camp as he deals with great tragedy and how it intertwines with his faith and career. Also KJ Apa plays Jeremy Camp for some reason. I'd have liked it if he played Jeremy Camp as Archie from Riverdale. That would've made it so much better.

The Flyover Crew is back! We're talking about the critically acclaimed 1998 animated classic, the Prince of Egypt. Featuring an all-star cast, incredible animation and artistic direction, and some of the best music you'll hear in a movie, this is another installment in our 2023 theme of faith-based movies, both good and bad. This may come as a shock to our listeners but we deem this movie to be:

good.
