Attention passengers. Ride along with two perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics.

They’re just two average Joe’s from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard!
