Chatty Chatty Bang Bang

B-B-BONUS EPISODE! Dusty hates Christopher Nolan movies. Harry loves Tenet. Together we do a temporal pincer movement, piecing together this time-reversing action monster. We also recap movies new and old we watched in lockdown! Automobile flicks will return after this, it just had to be done.

Long live Rodimus Prime! Harry, Dusty and journalist/Transformers nerd Danielle Partis comb through the 1986 Transformers film, to mass horror and confusion. Why was Optimus Prime's death so brutal? Why does Orson Welles play a vore planet? How can a human child transform into a car? Do we have The Touch?

Take a trip down DK Mountain as Harry and Dusty drift through the third Fast & Furious spin-off classic. Did Justin Lin get someone arrested over this movie? Is Han the coolest man alive? Was this movie technically set in 2013? Is this movie an underrated masterpiece?

Fascism, antisemitism, international war crimes and car 9/11. Harry, Dusty and comedian/historian Noah Sykes expose anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, racial stereotyping, the consequences of a Car Pope and how the assassination of car JFK would go down. Cars 2 gets messy.

Our first spooky episode goes to CHRISTINE, the red Plymouth Fury with a Satanic soul and bad vibes. Harry and Dusty crack open car objectification, John Carpenter's crazy practical effects, male dominance, and how fire was invented in the 60s.

2Cast2Pod? 2Pod2Cast? Something like that. Harry and Dusty chat about the lack of Diesel but an increase of action in the turbo-charged F&F sequel. Is this the best sequel name? What genius costumed Paul Walker's jorts? And why do the Dutch like racing so much? 

Get your tentacles on this fresh data as Harry and Dusty race through REDLINE, the 2009 Japanese sci-fi wacky races extravaganza. But what does anime bring to the racing/car genre? Should all movie characters have their own theme songs? Were the Robot Space Nazis right all along? Who is Funky Boy, and why have you woken him?

Harry and Dusty feverishly delve into Pixar's Cars. How does the economy function? What are the tongues for? Do cars have souls? What's behind the windshield? To understand how Cars stunted Pixar's winning streak, Harry reveals how touchy director John Lasseter whiffed his big moment while Dusty breaks down the pro-capitalist attempt at themes.

It's time to get quick and rather cross, as we start with the best car franchise of all time: Fast & Furious. Harry and Dusty discuss how unintelligible car lingo,  Vin Diesel gravitas and good ol' family values accidentally turned a forgettable action flick into a iconic cultural landmark.
