Send us Fan Mail Episode Two-Hundred and Ninety: Drive-Away Dolls (2024) Extreme Days (2001) "The joy of a road movie is its very simple narrative nature, which is that you know you're going to go through different places and you're going to meet new people. At the same time, you have to not make it feel too obvious and too crudely episodic.'' -- Sam Mendes Logo design by: https://www.fiverr.com/ideahits Intro voiceover by: https://www.youtube.com/kevincrocker heyjameswatchthis@gmail.com
