Southern VA to GA (through NC and SC) is all 2 lane.

A more plausible scenario would be having two copies of the movie, with “Side A” playing in the first LaserDisc player and “Side B” cued up and ready to go in the second player.  No need to get off the couch, just switch inputs and press play with the remote.
