Join Andrew Gordon & Roxy Striar as they burn rubber in the late, great Tony Scott’s 1990 NASCAR epic, Days of Thunder. Tom Cruise stars as hot-shot rookie Cole Trickle (Top Gun: Maverick, Jack Reacher), whose harrowing debut crash at Phoenix sets his career—and his life—on a high-stakes trajectory. Veteran crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) comes out of retirement to mentor him, while neurosurgeon Dr. Claire Lewicki (Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge!, The Hours) brings both medical help and romance to the pit. Cole’s fierce rivalry with champion Rowdy Burns (Michael Rooker, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead) ignites on-track drama, and his teammate Russ Wheeler (Cary Elwes, The Princess Bride, Saw) pushes the tension even further.

Rounding out the crew is team owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid, Independence Day, The Last Starfighter) and car chief Buck Bretherton (John C. Reilly, Step Brothers, Chicago). Andrew & Roxy break down every unforgettable scene—from the slingshot pass at Darlington and the fiery crash into the Texas oil tank, to the emotional, high-velocity finale at Daytona where Cole risks everything to pull a friend from a burning wreck. Tune in for an in-depth reaction to the film’s gravity-defying stunts, behind-the-scenes Bruckheimer flair, and Hans Zimmer’s thunderous score!
