Part two of our tour across the United States of Movies. East of the Mississippi we have the rough and tumble Boston movies, southern charm and southern music, and the laid back kindness of the mid-west. What state has the best movies? Is New York or LA the place to be? We're filling up the RV and continuing the tour, here on Screen Cleaning.

Sundance and Slamdance are winding down a unique festival season. South of the ski slopes of Robert Redford's hang out is Orem, Utah and this weekend's LDS Film Festival. Jeff, Cole, and Avery caught a few of the new features that are premiering and have reviews today. We also look back at some of the great movies you might have forgot got their start in the festival circuit. Screen Cleaning is pretty indie, you've probably never heard of it.

A couple Oscars contenders are available this weekend. Jeff, Cole, and Avery review Minari after seeing it in theaters (with popcorn) for the first time in what feels like forever. In addition to being a powerful family drama, it also shows off the beauty of the state of Arkansas. And I can't think of another Arkansas movie. So what is the most iconic movie from each state in the US? Today is part one, tackling everything west of the Mississippi. We know Hollywood loves making movies about Hollywood, and we love talking about them on Screen Cleaning.

This year for Valentine's Day we're looking for love in all the TV places. Sit-coms handle relationships in many different ways and we are pitting some of the most iconic TV couples against each other, bracket style. Ross & Rachel, Sam & Diane, Rosanne & Dan, and what about the platonic couples that exemplify friendship like Ron & Leslie or Jerry & Elaine. We'll crown one of them the greatest as well as reviewing a couple new releases in time for your V-Day date night and as always bring the best from entertainment news of the week. We love you, even when we're on (commercial) break, on Screen Cleaning.

Our media reflects the world we live in. Now we can look back to a time before a pandemic and theaters closing, and wonder what the 2010's said about us. Today Jeff and Cole examine the biggest trends and stories that dominated movies and TV through the most recent decade including franchise filmmaking and an era of prestige television. We watched a lot of movies in those ten years, but there were still a couple that we've been meaning to watch. And as always stick around for the best in entertainment news. Part one of our series looking at Decades in Movies on Screen Cleaning.
