Welcome to the first ever Film Room Grand Prix! We drive all over the world this week as we break down the newest racing movie to hit theatres. Brad Pitt stars alongside Damson Idris and Javier Bardem in this awesome ride that is absolute cinema. We get into the film's resemblance to another movie by the same creators, learning about F1 through the film, how Lewis Hamilton was an unsung hero of it being made, and much more. Don't be mistaken thinking we're some young podcasters that will bend the knee to an old timer, we climbed a mountain to get here bro!

Do you believe in calculated compatibility or is there an unquantifiable connection to true love?

We hope your matchmaker brought you to us and you'll enjoy it enough to give us a second episode!

You know how we all think we have the next great movie idea, or is it just us? We put it to the test this week as we each produce our own summer blockbuster and pitch it to you, the studio executives.

Let's see how we do on the other side of the screen!

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington continue their iconic partnership and add in Ray Allen with tons of other cameos and performances from real hoopers for a movie that basketball fans love. It also has a great story and the emotion that makes for a great watch even movie lovers that don't know basketball can appreciate.
