OUR SPOTIFY ROADTRIP GAME: https://spoti.fi/3jciCut

With airplanes seemingly like a Coranavirus Petri dish, many Americans are taking the long road trip this summer. But, with many tourist attractions closed, how will one fill the hours looking at the vast expanse of flat land? As WOPR says in War Games: “Shall we play a game?”

We’ve created a Spotify music playlist you can play as a game – either alone or with others. It’s full of music from ’80s movies, some that you’ve probably forgotten about but are well identified with the film. And, we got a few gimmes in there as well. It was created to give you a feel of discovery and remembrance — when the song starts, it’s meant to make you laugh, turn up the volume, and bask in some memories. It’s just over 5 hours long with not too many slow songs to help you gotta stay awake to ward off highway hypnosis.

Below is the playlist with the answers…these are only if you’re stumped…so we recommend NOT looking! So much so, we’re putting it beneath this video…
