The classic films keep rolling in and this week an era defining, genre defining, road comedy-drama 'Thelma and Louise'.

We break down the film and it's massive cultural impact. As we see two best friends set out on a road trip and what was meant to be a nice quiet fishing holiday that turns into two rebel criminals on the run from the law and a descent in chaos we ask the question what were the points that Ridley Scott was trying to get at? Why did Ridley Scott choose to direct the film himself? And were there some hidden messages that writer Calli Khouri wanted us all to get?

Okay - let's talk about the ending? Did it do it for you? Were you happy with it, or did it not sit quite right? Ben and Jack are torn as to whether this was the perfect ending for this film with Thelma and Louise suspended in

MVP wise there's a big toss up this week. So many standout performances - even if we take as a given the world class turn of Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon there was Brad Pitt's first big role, Harvey Keitel once again, Michael Madsen and Christopher Mcdonald being the unbelievably unlikeable Darryl.

The film was released in 1991, and once again on BYOB the guys are back marvelling at how wonderfully this film has aged. But what did you make of it?
