  • Kids Movies

    In this episode, Chris and Marty talk about the movies they show their kids, including Pixar's Cars and Disney's The Love Bug. Elsewhere, they discuss the merits of online racing and get lost in a 911 tangent.

    Mark Kermode has produced a great, interesting list of car films to watch.

    New on Motortrend is Hard Cell with Tom Ford, looking at all things EV. A free trial of MotorTrend TV is available.

    For this episode we're looking at kids movies, with Martin talking all things Cars, while Chris revisits his very early youth watching The Love Bug.

    For our online picks, Martin went with WEC 6 Hours of Silverstone 2015 - the 40-minute battle for the lead between the evil diesel Audi R18 and the righteous Porsche 919. There's a slightly pirate-y link, and an official highlights package on YouTube.

    Martin recommends the Hillclimb Monsters Youtube channel as one to watch.

    Chris has gone for Mclaren Tooned series 2, 50th anniversary. If, however, you love the retro VW life and fancy following a story round the world then Kombi Life is the channel for you.

  • The Italian Job(s)

    In this episode, Chris and Martin argue about the relative merits of the two Italian Job movies, and discuss lots of car content on YouTube.

    Tim Hutton from Private Motor Club Magazine to share some of his experiences working on the Gumball Rally. He sometimes posts photos from him time on the rally on his Instagram page too which is well worth checking out. They are also currently running an IndieGoGo crowd funding effort to support the magazine, which is well worth a few of your quid if you like beautiful, well written print magazines!

    Alan Bradley from the Motoring Podcast has published a list of the Car YouTube Channels he subscribes to which is an interesting varied list. If you have any YouTube channels you think people should be watching and need a bit of love, tweet us on @automoviepod or drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll share them both online, and give you a shout out in a future episode!

    Hooniverse asked What is the best opening movie scene featuring a car? A good question, especially if you try to avoid the obvious ones.

    Motortrend TV are continuing to launch new shows such as Petrolhead Planet also known as, Jethro Bovingdon is a jammy git, and Dream Jobs with Sir Chris Hoy. They're also offering a free two week trial currently, so what are you waiting for?

    For this episode Chris gets his skates on, mate, with The Italian Job (1969), while Marty compares it to The Italian Job (2003). The book on the making of the original Italian Job is by Matthew Field and from Porter Press.

    In this week's online highlights, Marty picked the fantastic Porsche Endurance documentary while Chris chose 2019 Monaco Grand Prix Qualifying: The Inside Story From The McLaren Pit Wall as an example of the great content coming out on the official F1 YouTube channel now.

  • Episode 14: Gumball!

    In this episode Marty and Chris compare two films where one inspired the other; The Gumball Rally (1976) and Gumball 3000: The Movie.

    But first, we celebrate the Oscar success of Ford vs Ferrari, with insight into the VFX process and the difference between sound editing and mixing.

    Motorsport.tv have released Heroes, Chris gives his opinion both on the network and Heroes.

    An Eleanor hero car from Gone in 60 Seconds has been sold and already listed for sale. In researching this, Chris turned up some interesting history on Tina, the '996' Porsche that's stolen at the start of the film.

    In the run up to No Time to Die a stunt car DB5 replica has been driven by some outlets, with a good writeup on Pistonheads. This reminded Marty of an old video of The Mercedes C63 AMG Experiment - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS.

    Season 2 of Drive to Survive is being released on Netflix Feb 28th!

    For this episode Marty revisits 1970's New York with The Gumball Rally (1976) while Chris goes San Francisco to Miami with Gumball 3000: The Movie.

    In this week's online highlights, Marty picked a Smoking Tire podcast with Fielding Shredder while Chris nearly picked Mauro Calo driving his Nissan GT-R camera car filming a Nissan GT-R for a NIssan advert in a Nissan behind the scenes video but at the last minute he chose Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer: Henry Catchpole’s Definitive Road Review.

  • Episode 13: For and Against: Gone in 60 Seconds
    In this episode Marty and Chris change things up a little and have a lengthy discussion where they argue for and against Gone in 60 Seconds (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187078/), as well as rounding up the upcoming releases and Super Bowl car adverts.
    But first, one of our listeners put together a great YouTube playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLV0bDGUCMljRjqOyRE60HaHzvHksboec) of all of the videos and trailers that we've talked about in previous episodes. Our thanks to you, Sean!
    Road & Track (https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/entertainment/amp30563313/ferris-buellers-day-off-ferrari-auction/) have details of a Ferris Bueller hero car Ferrari replica going across the auction block.
    The team at Driftworks (https://www.driftworks.com) behind Outsiders (https://www.facebook.com/OutsidersMovie/) have started teasing the release of the sequel Outsiders 2, while the second season of Drive to Survive is due Feb 28th!
    For the Superbowl Porsche dropped The Heist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92sXWVxRr0g), with Behind the Scenes from Motortrend (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIqbHadXLnk). Walmart didn't have a car themed advert as good as their movie car advert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMcBBHpzKiI) from last year, but Hyundai was a surprise treat with Smaht Pahk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85iRQdjCzj0). And because the Superbowl landed on Groundhog Day this year, Jeep got Bill Murray and co-stars for a repeating adventure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QgBRvMmWk4).
    Finally, and most excitingly, we have a trailer for Fast 9 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSiDu3Ywi8E), the latest in the increasingly insane Fast & Furious franchise. It's no surprise to say that we're fully on board with this trailer, but there are some surprises in there...
    For this episode we've changed things up a little with Chris and Marty talking through a long-running disagreement over just how awesome Gone in 60 Seconds (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187078/) is. And Chris writes the show notes, so he says it's awesome.
    In this week's online highlights, Marty picked another from Harry’s Garage, Ferrari Testarossa Epic Roadtrip to the Sahara (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRjGN--R4pE) while Chris has been avoiding the joys of concrete and construction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULWOvVEeq0w) to instead enjoy a beautifully made BMW M3 CSL manual conversion.

  • Episode 12: Films in a Foreign Language

    In this episode, sights are set away from Hollywood as Chris and Martin approach films not in the English language. For Martin the classic French car movie Taxi, while Chris dives into the world of Initial-D.

    But first, Ford vs Ferrari is in the news yet again with BAFTA nominations for cinematography, editing and sound AND OSCAR NOMS OMG for Best Pic, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing!

    F1 TV have released a new documentary series, F2: Chasing the Dream, a multi-part documentary series looking into the world of up and coming drivers in F2 (subscription only, sadly).

    The original Bullitt Mustang, as driven by Steve McQueen has sold at auction for $3.4m.

    For this episode's reviews, we watch a pair of non-English films. Martin revisits the French film Taxi (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152930/) while Chris shuns the live action version of Initial-D to go with Initial-D 1st Stage from the original Anime.

    In this week's online highlights, Martin picked the fantastic Harry’s Garage Porsche Carrera GT film while Chris has been so deep into all things Japanese for this episode, he had to pick this documentary from Driftworks: Outsiders.
