I'm rewatching Smokey and the Bandit. I had forgotten that they're smuggling Coors beer. It's funny to me that they're going through all of that for Coors. I get that Coors wasn't legal in Georgia at the time, but it's Coors.

Coors.

On the flipside, I read a lot about the history of Coors distribution in the US after I watched it again. Who knew it was an educational movie?

You Can't Make This Stuff Up ...

Alternatively, #SmokeyAndTheBandit can be viewed as a pair of wealthy billionaires undermining the public health by importing unpasteurized beer, toying with the working class by luring them with bets instead of actual jobs, and endangering the public by having their drivers go 100 mph with no sleep breaks.

However, that also seems just as relevant to the current state of the affairs as the positive interpretation.
