Ep 152: "Smokey and the Bandit" Revisited

Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason really put the pedal to the metal in 1977's blockbuster, Smokey and the Bandit. The little $4M movie made an engine-revving $300M at the box office, launched a sequel, and kicked off a 5-year love affair between Reynolds and co-star Sally Field. Now, 45 years later, are we as eager to be along for the ride? Is Sheriff Buford T. Justice too rude to laugh at through a middle-aged lens? And why is everyone littering? Brian and Christina crack open some legally purchased beer and discuss the comedy classic.
