The Projectors

RIGHT HERE is where we begin “AIN’T THAT AMERICA” our state by state movie breakdown that will encompass years. At least 10 movies per state, with two episodes of 5 movie discussions. (see our parameters for the theme below) We’re going in order of statehood and the first U.S. state is amongst the hardest states to pull movies from but we got deep cuts, cult classics, and notorious film fare here in our first batch and we got a thicc episode to show for it. We’re talking about the 2nd smallest state, DELAWARE and we break down some Delaware geography flick by flick as well as presenting plenty of fun facts about the Blue Hen State on that Delmarva peninsula.
