Flyover Film Country

Do you love alien films? We love ‘em. We LOVE ‘EM.
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.

We had a great time discussing several of the child actor performances, particularly a young Elle Fanning. Tune in for more!!

We usually do this off-mic, but we thought it would be fun to bring along our faithful listeners to plan every SINGLE episode for this year, including new theatrical releases, revisiting older films, and everything in between.
