Join us this week as we 65 through 45 speed zones to talk F1: The Movie (Kosinski, 2025) and Thunderbolt (Godon Chan, 1995). For F1, we tackle the film's reliance on blockbuster cliches pertaining to the "Old Master" trope. Then we discuss how the film deals in sportswashing and some meta-commentary on the current Hollywood landscape. Then it's always a pleasure to talk Jackie, even if this is a slightly more serious Jackie role.
