Enjoy Stuff: (Jay Would Drive) 500 Miles (or More!)
Join Shua and a cross-country cruisin’ Jovial Jay as they hit the road in search of quirky attractions and cinematic parallels. It’s a road trip of epic TechnoRetro proportions on Enjoy Stuff!
Road trips are the perfect setting for stories filled with chaos, bonding, and unforgettable detours. On this episode of Enjoy Stuff, Jay shares his real-life vacation adventures while we explore some of our favorite road trip movies. Join us on the open road where the signs are vintage, the coffee is 5¢, and the bikes may or may not be in the basement of the Alamo.

What we’re Enjoying
Jay traded Metropolis for Moose Jaw on a massive trek across the U.S. and Canada. Along the way, he stopped at roadside attractions, quirky museums, and a statue of a very green giant. Shua dove into the 1984 cult classic Night of the Comet, and explored the post-apocalyptic charm of that neon-soaked ‘80s gem. Check out Jay’s Sci-Fi Saturdays Article
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay goes inside the AI dreamscape of Her (2013). It’s an introspective, futuristic look at relationships, technology, and lonely hearts. Also check out his latest work on MCULocationScout.com including “Fantastic Four-apalooza!” and coverage of Agents of SHIELD Season 5.. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Life!
Sometimes the journey is just as fun as the destination. Whether it’s dodging Smokey in a Trans Am, bonding with a buddy over brake pads, or chasing a bike across the country, road trip movies remind us that the detours often make the best memories. Jay’s real-life road trip includes stops at Wall Drug, the Corn Palace, the Buddy Holly crash site, and even a Missile Silo. Along the way, we revisit films like Vacation, Tommy Boy, Thelma & Louise, and The Muppet Movie—all stories about friendship, freedom, and a little foolishness.
It’s an elusive mystical creature! …and a Jackalope!
