Joe and Greg welcome their good friend and native New Englander, Pete Shea to the podcast to discuss his top 5 favorite films set in New England. Pete gives the hosts a cliff noted history of the northeast region (2:25) by discussing how localized everything is and what it means to be a "flat-lander." Then they dive into Petes list starting at #5 which includes an incredible Gene Siskel review (9:05). As they move through the rest of the list they unpack a wide array of different topics such as Tim Curry and the on-screen butler Hall of Fame (15:08), Vermont being the West Berlin of the U.S. (23:10), the hardest decision Roger Ebert ever had to make (32:50), the uniqueness of Rhode Island (38:28), the longing for the practical special effects of the 80's (57:00) and Petes #1 movie of all time. All that and MORE!
