Description

Tonight, we are in the home of the road. Might not have been invented there, but there is arguably no country that has embraced the road like the good old US of A. And Hollywood noticed, resulting in one of the most recognisable movie genres, the road movie. Tonight we have screwball comedy on the road in the 30s, existential youth culture on the road in the 70s, and Girl power on a crime spree on the road in the 90s. It’s going to be fun, Welcome to They Don’t Make ‘Em Like they Used To.
