Welcome to the NEW AND IMPROVED Flyover Film Country!
We're taking a new direction, friends - gone are the days of skipping our episodes if you haven't seen the subject film or tv series! Olivia and Isaac were tired of committing to just one item, so we decided to just talk about everything. This episode is the start of something new, "fetch," if you will! We're starting every new episode with mailbag questions from you, our flyover friends and family. After that we hear from Olivia on the question, "Mean Girls must?" The answer is... perhaps? Also, Isaac makes a comparison to January and February basically being Ennis in True Detective: Night Country. Finally they wrap up with a bunch of jokes about Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and the Golden Globes. - Show more
