5:47
Ooh. Okay. That's pretty sweet. Sweet. Feel free
5:50
to keep whatever you pulled, Joe. Wow, look at
5:52
that. Same with Kev. I just maybe, maybe. He's
5:58
into it now. He's going to get into it. Yep.
5:59
I'm telling you, you guys will really enjoy when
6:01
we pull that 2025 hobby box. Hopefully, we can
6:05
get our hands on some. We certainly can. Because
6:07
I feel like this is going to be a tougher year
6:08
to get your hands on some. Well, because there's
6:10
so many more rookies this season. For sure. biggest
6:12
thing obviously you go for sports cards you go
6:14
for sure i think it's gonna be a big hit 100
6:17
i can't wait um well so since we're here for
6:20
the f1 movie now to get into this sorry to sidebar
6:23
there with everybody up here but um what i want
6:26
to know is your first reaction to the movie using
6:29
a maximum of five words maximum of five words
6:33
uh who wants to go first i can go first go do
6:38
it uh so minus four words uh the music was awesome
6:42
The music was awesome. The soundtrack was great.
6:45
Hans Zimmer. Hans Zimmer, yes. So I went to school
6:47
for music production, audio engineering, hence
6:49
why I do all this stuff in the background. I
6:51
was very, very keen to the music that they played
6:53
in it, and I thought just overall the score was
6:55
fantastic. The timing of the score. Yes, the
6:58
music that they played in it was really good,
6:59
but also I think the big thing that was kind
7:00
of fun that they didn't even really broadcast
7:02
was the Ed Sheeran song in the credits, which
7:03
was kind of cool. So they played it, of course,
7:06
on TV or whatever, not the TV, but on the screen
7:08
after in the credits, but they didn't announce
7:10
that, hey. Ed Sheeran's making a song for this
7:12
movie until after it came out, which that I think
7:15
is just kind of a little, I guess, egg of wonderfulness
7:19
at the end of the movie. Right. Which is kind
7:20
of cool because they could have previewed that
7:22
and like broadcast and advertise that pretty
7:24
heavily. Like Ed Sheeran's making a song for
7:26
the movie. You got to go check it out. Well,
7:27
they didn't say a word from my understanding.
7:28
And so you saw it. So that's pretty cool. Okay.
7:32
But the music did its part in my thought, in
7:33
my mind. Yeah. No. Awesome. Music was good. No,
7:36
I'm glad we got your take on that because, yeah,
7:38
audio guy. So it makes sense. It makes sense.
7:40
You got to fit the bill. Do you like the sound
7:42
design just in general as well? What's that?
7:43
Just like the sound design. It was cool. Yeah,
7:46
and we went to like the big fancy movie theaters,
7:48
whatever. So you definitely have like a surround
7:49
sound and stuff like that. And I thought a lot
7:50
of, you know, our transition is the and it goes
7:53
across the screen there, the audio. I heard a
7:55
lot of like different kind of surrounding audio
7:57
bits in there. And I thought it was just really
7:59
solid overall. But, yeah, Hans Zimmer was just
8:01
a gangster. Yeah, he's good. He didn't disappoint
8:03
by any means. He's good, that one. Yep. That
8:05
one is good. Yes. So it was overall, it was a
8:08
really good movie. I think it was fantastic.
8:10
Awesome. Joe, what do you got? Oh, man. To me,
8:13
I don't know. I feel like I kind of want to go
8:15
last. You can go last. All right. Hey, nobody's
8:18
requested to go last yet. So yeah, you're last.
8:19
Go, Mike. Yeah. So I got four words. Actually
8:23
fun. Surprisingly consistent. all right that
8:27
was i was pleasantly surprised surprisingly consistent
8:30
surprisingly consistent with f1 with what we
8:32
would expect to see out of f1 um yeah there was
8:35
i was expecting to see more like i just watched
8:38
the gran turismo movie not too long ago and i
8:40
was just so tired of being like okay yeah it's
8:42
another buzzer beater yeah we win by less than
8:45
a tenth of every single race and that just wasn't
8:48
the case in this movie and i really liked that
8:49
so And there were also other things, but, like,
8:52
we'll get into some more of that stuff, I assume.
8:54
Oh, yeah, for sure. Nitpicks that we can do.
8:56
Yeah, for sure. So since Joe's going last, for
8:59
me, I also have, like, four words, I think, and
9:03
just, like, it was very Hollywood, you know?
9:06
Yeah, it was very Hollywood. I'm not, like, hating
9:08
the movie. Like, will I buy it when it comes
9:10
out on Blu -ray? Yeah, when it goes on sale,
9:11
probably. To add it to my Blu -ray collection.
9:15
Yeah, right, right, right, right. Straight to
9:16
DVD. But it's, you know, it was a great movie.
9:20
you know there's a lot of Hollywood bits in it
9:22
a lot of good like you said consistent f1 bits
9:25
in it and we'll touch on all those and then a
9:27
lot of stuff that made me go I don't know so
9:30
um yeah anyway Joe wrap wrap us up yeah I mean
9:34
I'm using all five words and I pretty much mimic
9:36
I think everyone here fun and only a little sorry
9:40
fun and only slightly frustrating It's slightly
9:43
frustrating. It's just a lot of syllables. That's
9:49
a lot of noise. Your Honor, five words. Yeah,
9:52
for sure. I think, yeah, I mean, it was, you
9:54
know, I think exactly, you know, it's meant for
9:57
people who aren't, like, maybe super deep into
9:58
it. But, like, I also, there are some call -outs,
10:01
like, they did a really good job in some areas,
10:03
I think. Yeah. But I wouldn't, like, if someone
10:07
lived and breathed that one, I could see why
10:08
they might, like, not find it as interesting.
10:10
But I think for a movie for the masses, I thought
10:12
it was fun. I think it could make for a good,
10:15
like, for lack of a better word, gateway drug
10:17
into Formula One for a lot of new fans. It has
10:21
a BTS effect, kind of. Yeah, because I know a
10:24
friend of mine. I get the wrong idea, though.
10:26
Yes. Yeah, there's some points that I could,
10:28
yeah. But like I've got a friend of mine who
10:30
he has no interest in Formula One. And I was
10:33
talking to him about the movie and he's like,
10:35
he's like, oh, it's got Brad Pitt. It's made
10:37
by the guy who made Maverick Top Gun. It's got
10:39
Hans Zimmer. He's like, this is probably a good
10:41
movie. I might actually go watch this. And like
10:43
it could be like his introduction and be like,
10:45
wow, F1 is kind of cool. Maybe I'll maybe I'll
10:47
catch a weekend or something, you know, and like.
10:50
I think it's a good movie for that. For sure.
10:52
I also think it's smart that they released the
10:55
movie on a race weekend as well. Just really
10:58
trying to get after it. Like, oh, I just went
11:01
and saw the movie because technically I think
11:02
it came out on Wednesday for the early super
11:04
duper early screenings. Then Thursday was kind
11:06
of like the pre -screenings. And then now Friday
11:08
is when it actually came out. The real release.
11:10
Yep. So this morning, everyone's like, you might
11:13
have seen the movie yesterday. And now qualifying
11:15
is on at 9 a .m. yep 10 a .m whatever time it
11:18
was maybe noon or whatever uh i think it's definitely
11:20
a good opportunity for a gateway drug like my
11:22
wife she went with me as well yesterday she's
11:25
on an f1 person but she actually enjoyed it she's
11:27
like i'm not like a car person that was kind
11:28
of fun to watch yeah like for sure that's cool
11:30
and coming from her she doesn't care yeah that
11:32
was her bit shout out to my wife erica who supports
11:35
the show um her thing was Brad Pitt still got
11:38
it. He's still hot. That's the only thing she
11:40
really cared about. But the fact that she was
11:42
cool to watch the movie on top of that was good.
11:49
Yeah, hold on. We'll get into that. Funny enough,
11:52
I got something to tie into that. Did I just
11:55
spoil something? I'm sorry. No, not at all. Not
11:57
at all. Spoilers. I think so. We're not going
12:00
to make this show super long, right? We're going
12:01
to get you guys out of here. But we want to fill
12:04
your brain with our knowledge on the F1 movie
12:07
as fast as possible. But I think let's start
12:10
with anything you disliked first. We'll end it
12:14
with the like, because I think generally. Are
12:17
we in a general consensus? It wasn't bad, right?
12:19
I actually really liked it. It was a good watch.
12:21
Yeah, 100%. Worth the money of admission at a
12:24
theater. All right, all right. Yeah. So let's
12:28
start with dislikes first. If there's anything
12:31
somebody needs to get off their chest immediately,
12:33
I get that. These two are staring at each other.
12:37
We're going to let them go. It was so funny because
12:39
we were sitting next to each other. My roommate
12:41
was also there with us, and we're watching, and
12:43
it was at the end at Abu Dhabi. and Alex Pierce
12:47
was in front of Lewis Hamilton, right? And they
12:51
showed us an overhead shot of Lewis coming up
12:54
on Alex with his DRS open. And I was like, Joshua
12:59
Pierce. Or Joshua Pierce. Yeah, sorry, it's Joshua
13:01
Pierce. Yeah, because it's JP. Yeah, I don't
13:03
know why I kept thinking his name is Alex. You
13:05
guys have known him for like three minutes. Yeah,
13:07
maybe. I'm just so excited. Yeah, sorry. Yeah,
13:09
Joshua Pierce. Yeah, so Joshua Pierce's DRS was
13:11
open when Lewis was behind him, and Joshua Pierce
13:15
was in first. so the moment we saw that overhead
13:18
shot joe and i looked at each other like did
13:20
you see you saw that yeah okay and my roommate
13:24
like noticed our gesture he's like what not i
13:26
like leaned over i was like josh's drs was open
13:29
when he's in first so that was one thing that
13:33
like i feel like most people wouldn't notice
13:36
that unless you're sure like avidly in the sport
13:38
so and then and then like joe mentioned earlier
13:41
unless you're like a really into racing in general
13:44
but then f1 more specifically like there's gonna
13:47
be things that you know just didn't didn't feel
13:50
right to you like for me it was apex gp the team
13:55
yeah essentially almost feeling like they never
13:57
got penalized for for any of the stuff they were
14:01
pulling so They did once, but it seemed like
14:05
they didn't really make a big deal of it. They
14:06
just started from the back. They always were
14:08
starting towards the back, so I guess you could
14:10
make some argument saying that the reason why
14:12
they were always in the back was because they
14:14
were getting great place penalties for penalties
14:16
that they had. They just never made a mention
14:18
of it like, hey, Brad Pitt or Sonny, which is
14:24
true. We did never see qualifying. That was one
14:26
of my quarrels I was going to mention was we
14:28
never saw practice or quality. That was one of
14:30
the things I was going to mention. For sure.
14:32
Well, we did see a practice lap by Sonny. In
14:35
the very beginning. And crashing and then still
14:39
getting the job in F1, which is another one of
14:42
my things. It's like, how realistic would it
14:45
actually be that a team is going to pull a driver
14:48
into F1 that hasn't raced an F1 car in three
14:51
decades is what they said. So in 30 years, he
14:53
hasn't raced an F1 car. we got nine we got nine
14:57
races left come on but i get the storyline of
15:00
like that's like they're desperate they need
15:03
some sort of spark right so i get that but i
15:06
think actually that's not too unbelievable because
15:08
when you think about it kimmy antonelli's first
15:10
fp1 practice he crashed sure sure so and that
15:14
was when he was out testing with the kimmy hasn't
15:17
not been an f1 car in three decades well sure
15:19
he's alive for three decades like new new to
15:22
the seat new like sure basically fresh yeah like
15:26
at a certain point you're like yeah he crashed
15:28
but he was fast yeah like for sure so i guess
15:31
i can kind of overlook that a little bit fair
15:34
enough um uh yeah my biggest keep no you're good
15:38
you're good because i only got a couple more
15:40
i got you no yeah my biggest issue was pretty
15:42
much like mimics what your issue was uh i didn't
15:45
love the arc of like like the pretty much the
15:49
first act was or the second act ish was just
15:52
sunny hayes being a menace like on the grid and
15:56
that's how they got ahead i'm really i'm really
15:59
happy that they didn't do that throughout the
16:00
entire movie because it would just be like oh
16:02
so it just kind of feels like a joke right like
16:04
you can go a little bit mess everyone up and
16:06
then um you know getaway scott free i didn't
16:09
love that there were a lot you're right there
16:11
were not very many consequences seen until we
16:14
just didn't see until later in the movie when
16:16
when like there was an fia representative and
16:18
they were like like like what do you mean like
16:20
you cause trouble all the time right so like
16:22
it was nice seeing that there are a little bit
16:24
of repercussions but we didn't see it in the
16:25
moment so it just felt like oh like anyone can
16:28
just kind of do this it's like very much like
16:29
dramatized hollywood yeah for sure and like and
16:32
like immediately i was like oh he'd get a black
16:34
flag on that first race there's just no way him
16:37
keep racing like he's consistently crashing yeah
16:40
it's so that was like my biggest gripe but i
16:42
think in the overarching story of the movie i
16:44
think i probably like His, like, the character,
16:48
he's, like, the gambling type. You know, he kind
16:50
of, like, takes these, like, really big risks
16:52
and has, like, a grander plan. Which is how he
16:53
raced throughout the movie. He's, like, oceans
16:55
11 -ing his own race a little bit. I was going
16:57
to bring that up, too. Like, it's so funny. Weird.
16:59
He's back in Vegas again. He's got a gambling
17:01
problem. So, like, I guess, like, to his story,
17:04
like, okay, sure, but, like, you know, the consequences
17:06
would have been so severe in real life, so I'll
17:08
just kind of, like, you know, move it off, I
17:10
guess. But I think that was, like, yeah, the
17:11
biggest issue I had was just, like, I was watching
17:13
the movie, and I'm, like, I'm, like, this is
17:15
like it's like fun to see this i guess like so
17:18
many consequences from this would would come
17:21
up right and i agree with you i think it is a
17:23
gateway drug essentially so that is my only concern
17:26
with it being a gateway drug is now they can
17:27
watch an actual f1 race and be like wait why
17:30
did he just crash like they're gonna watch like
17:33
a race like japan this year and i'm gonna be
17:35
like i just watched two hours of nothing right
17:37
right right my my thing with like the crashing
17:39
that i had thought when all that was happening
17:41
was not so much like oh well where are the black
17:43
flags how are the fia letting that happen i was
17:45
like isn't apex about to go broke how can they
17:48
afford this many wins like they can't afford
17:50
this much damage like they can't just be letting
17:52
him go out and trash tires and trash wins and
17:56
and like i'm like that That doesn't seem right.
17:59
Those wings are expensive. Well, they showed
18:01
the guy, was it 3 ,000 pounds per wing or 2 ,000
18:05
pounds? 200 ,000 something. I think he said 200
18:07
,000. I think what I've heard is that wings are
18:10
like $150 ,000. Which is insanity. Just for the
18:14
front wing. Yeah. But you can buy a crashed one
18:17
for like a thousand bucks from F1 Authentics.
18:19
You can. You certainly can. You're getting a
18:21
deal. They don't need the crashed ones anymore.
18:24
Yeah. Right. Right. No, that's why they sell
18:26
them. That's why there's that side pod that you
18:28
keep sending me. Go get it. I don't remember
18:31
who it is. What were they called before Alpine?
18:34
Renault? Renault? What? No. Before that, even.
18:36
BWT. BWT, yeah, it was BWT. And there's a side
18:40
pod in the marketplace. Force One. Yeah, India
18:41
Force. Oh, you're talking, no, Force One, it
18:44
went Force One into Alpha, or into Aston Martin.
18:50
Yeah, but BWT was Force One. BWT, yeah, BWT was
18:55
for Aston Martin and his whole team, yeah. Kev,
18:58
do you got any dislikes, Kev? The main one was
19:02
just, like, no qualifying. Yeah, like quality
19:04
is such a huge impact on the race weekend. It's
19:07
literally almost a time trial. You know, they're
19:09
sending it. And especially if Sonny is trying
19:11
to kind of prove his, I guess, ability. Yeah,
19:15
his worth or his ability to still make it in
19:18
the sport. And then obviously with JP trying
19:20
to. be able to still drive and you know be able
19:23
to compare against him i love that you're just
19:24
calling him jp too that's pretty sweet yeah i
19:27
gave everybody a nickname so it's pretty cool
19:28
to me um but yeah they just didn't show any practice
19:30
or any qualifying at all which i thought was
19:32
a really big miss in my opinion like yes okay
19:34
cool wait a minute the first race weekend you
19:36
guys are both in dead last okay got it next one
19:39
still last What did we miss? How are we getting
19:42
there? How are we here? Yeah, yeah. Right? For
19:43
sure. Just a little bit more explanation, whether
19:45
it's penalties or just sucking at qualifying.
19:48
I think it's just car performance. Until these
19:50
magic... What's the floor? What do they call
19:58
them? Fins or whatever? Side pods? No. Underbody?
20:00
No. The floor? Floor something. They call them
20:03
the floor something. Yeah, until those came on.
20:05
Ground effects? Yeah, ground effects. Oh, no.
20:07
I can't remember. Whatever. My thing, too, for
20:10
the qualifying, though, is that if you're going
20:12
to do such a terrible job in qualifying and end
20:14
up dead last in the race to start it, how are
20:16
you going to then just go and finish in, like,
20:17
top 10 or whatever in the race? Just like with...
20:21
You didn't change anything from the qualifying
20:22
in theory. So then we can assume it's penalties
20:25
that put them back there, right? There's a way
20:27
to kind of get there, but it's just weird. You
20:29
have to come up with that yourself in order to
20:30
convince yourself that, yeah, they're starting
20:33
in the back because of this or whatever. So I've
20:35
got a question based on that. We take two seconds.
20:37
The movie was two and a half hours. Was it really?
20:40
Yes. The little screen outside of the theater
20:42
said two hours, 35 or two hours, 30 minutes runtime.
20:45
Didn't feel long. It didn't feel that long at
20:47
all, for sure. But once you realize that you
20:49
get out of the theater at 1 .15, it's kind of
20:51
a late movie. Do you guys think it was appropriately
20:55
lengthed? Or do you think it could have been
20:59
or should have been longer in the efforts to
21:02
maybe show some practice or quality? It's the
21:04
length of an F1 race. You know, that's actually
21:07
a good point. Probably why he cooked. You know,
21:13
I was not going to make that argument, but that's
21:16
a good point. I think it's perfectly the length
21:19
is fine. I don't think it should be shorter.
21:21
I don't think it should be longer. I think it's
21:23
supposed to be about two hours is the average.
21:25
It's probably not two and a half. No, that's
21:27
good. Like, I don't know. So close, though. Either
21:29
way. For me, I wouldn't have minded it to be
21:32
a little bit longer if you threw in some of that
21:33
a little bit more technical stuff with the practice
21:35
or the qualifying. But do you think the general
21:37
fan using it as a gateway drug would enjoy that?
21:40
Probably not. You know what I mean? I think they
21:42
should have had at least one or two qualifying
21:44
shootouts. Just show the qualifying happening.
21:48
Show the process. We don't need to see all of
21:50
free practice or anything like that. That's pretty
21:53
dry anyways. But at least seeing qualifying and
21:57
show that tension of like, oh, we need to. go
21:59
out there we really need to put up a good time
22:01
crap we didn't do it we're starting from the
22:03
back of the grid right like entire strategy for
22:05
qualifying or whatever like there's a lot of
22:07
strategy which came into play in the movie right
22:10
that's what i'm saying that was something that
22:11
they brought up is like they should have showed
22:13
us at least qualifying for abu dhabi because
22:15
that would have been like a nice little like
22:16
sowing the seeds for that last scene where it's
22:18
like oh the safety car happened we've got an
22:21
extra pair of softs that The front runners don't.
22:23
Yeah. So they kind of just toss that in. They
22:26
just kind of tossed it in, which was a cool.
22:28
I liked that a lot. I was like, this is like
22:31
that is a real strategy. We saw it from Charles
22:33
Leclerc in Monaco. Yeah. So until JP took out
22:36
Lewis. Yeah, it was a little awkward. Spoiler.
22:40
Well, and then get something like didn't even
22:42
play it off that it could have been an accident.
22:44
You know, I mean, this is. Well, I think it was
22:45
an accident. He's just he's just happy that one
22:48
of them are winning. Right. Yeah. I don't think.
22:52
So I did have the thought of like, we're not
22:54
seeing any qualifying. I don't know if it. bothered
22:56
me per se i think it would have been nice to
22:59
you're right see at least one qualifying or just
23:01
have somebody say we're not qualifying in these
23:03
races so we have to do the work in the race like
23:06
even that line alone would have like immediately
23:09
been okay with me yep um like you didn't like
23:12
brought up and like yeah we didn't do great exactly
23:13
or you know whatever the issue was or a penalty
23:16
in qualifying whatever right this is where we
23:17
start it's like a little just something they
23:19
just wanted like as much wheel to wheel as they
23:22
could get which is just it's just hollywood it's
23:23
hollywood um but In terms of length, I'm very
23:27
happy. I don't think it should have been any
23:28
longer. I'm surprised it was two and a half hours
23:30
because it felt like it went by pretty well.
23:32
It paced very well. I usually have issues with
23:35
movies pacing, and I don't think this paced poorly.
23:37
Yeah, no, it just stayed on track the whole time.
23:40
There was never a moment where I was like, this
23:42
is dull right now. But again, we're racing fans,
23:45
so we want to know everything that's in between.
23:48
And it didn't play too heavy into the freaking
23:51
love story, which I was a little bit worried
23:53
about for any of you that are... Or possibly.
23:56
uh war fans out there you guys are not but i
23:58
there's this movie called pearl harbor that came
24:01
out in 2001 oh yeah and they played way too heavy
24:03
into the love story for me than the actual event
24:06
so i was a little worried that that could get
24:08
caught up and it really didn't there was just
24:10
enough and then they both got it in at one point
24:13
anyway but the night before race is wild but
24:15
there's studies behind you you shouldn't do that
24:18
from my understanding you did remind me of one
24:20
thing that i did spot while i was watching the
24:22
movie in las vegas the night before the race
24:25
The drivers were out drinking. They're not allowed
24:28
to do that. That's against protocol. I was like,
24:31
why are you guys out drinking? He was drinking
24:33
a Heineken and it could have been a 0 .0. They
24:35
are hugely zero Heinekens. So that is possible.
24:38
Fair. I mean, it's just one of those things,
24:41
though. And the manager was telling JP he's like...
24:45
Also, yeah, the technical engineer made a comment
24:50
about drinking tequila is a bad idea. JP and
24:53
his manager went out to a... a dance club whatever
24:57
right where the manager was very clearly drinking
25:00
the manager can drink he's not driving but he
25:03
was gonna offer jp the drink he was yeah it was
25:05
like it's like why would you as a manager put
25:07
your driver into that position i was like sitting
25:09
here seeing this like you're not supposed to
25:11
be drinking right now you know honestly i'm gonna
25:13
take your license if that's the biggest thing
25:15
you had an issue i'm not saying it is the biggest
25:17
thing but if that's the thing you had an issue
25:18
with pretty decent No, no, no, no, no. So that
25:27
leads me into... I was just going to say one
25:30
last thing. The qualifying bit, you're right.
25:33
We know that they're not qualifying well because
25:35
they're so far back because we have that insider
25:37
baseball knowledge. The normal person, you're
25:39
right. They might not understand why are they
25:41
always starting in the back. So I just want to
25:44
give you that point as well. You're totally right.
25:45
I'll put that in the bank there. Joe gave me
25:47
a point. I got him. I just said too small. I
25:51
mean, and again, these are really small dislikes.
25:54
Not a big deal. Go for it. So you mentioned Brad
25:57
Pitt already. Oh, boy. And the show's over. Thanks,
26:00
guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. And I don't hate
26:03
Brad Pitt. He did a great job, I think. I think
26:04
so. I think he did a pretty good job representing
26:07
this character. But the dude is 61. And now don't
26:13
get me wrong. He looked like 51. Let's, let's
26:15
be real. You know what I mean? Like you don't
26:16
really look like he's in the sixties, you know,
26:18
but like the oldest, uh, driver to ever win an
26:21
F1 race was 53 years old. So that bugs me pushing
26:25
the lens on that as again, like, uh, You know
26:29
what I mean? It just bugs me a little bit. And
26:31
I didn't know that off the top of my freaking
26:33
head. I wouldn't look that up last night. Because
26:35
I was curious. After I found out Brad Pitt was
26:37
61, I was like, A, I didn't think he was that
26:39
old. But B, I was like, okay, so that just bugs
26:41
me a little bit. But it's not, again, him looking
26:43
51. He probably looked just like that guy. To
26:46
your defense, too, they literally said that his
26:48
big crash with Ayrton Senna was in 1993. Right.
26:53
And so he had to have been, like, what? Let's
26:56
say he was young at the time. He was in his 20s.
26:59
Let's just say he was 20 at the time of that
27:01
crash. This is happening in 2022, 2023, somewhere
27:04
in that time frame. That means there's a 30 -year
27:07
gap. between when he crashed he's in his mid
27:10
-50s yeah he's in his mid -50s driving i'm like
27:13
not even alonzo's that old right and alonzo comes
27:16
up and fist bumps him and then i love just catching
27:18
strays right now though poor guy yeah no i'm
27:21
not he's my favorite he did a great job um and
27:24
then there's only one other thing that's kind
27:26
of funny the whole combat chant thing where they
27:29
started oh yeah i thought that was lame as a
27:32
yeah super cheesy that was stupid i get they
27:35
wouldn't do this i get the point behind it because
27:37
it's the hollywood thing though i know but then
27:40
like everybody in the team room and then back
27:42
at like hq or whatever and then everybody i'm
27:45
like well then jp's just like really though are
27:47
we really doing this i feel like the i feel like
27:49
the technicians back at back in england would
27:51
be looking like Just grimacing, like, this is
27:54
kind of cringe, right? I would think so. So anyway,
27:57
that was my only other small squabble. So again,
28:00
if that's what it is, pretty good movie. I had
28:03
one other little point. I thought it was kind
28:07
of comical that Lewis Hamilton produced the movie,
28:10
and he was in first at the end. That was just
28:13
like, oh, I thought it makes a big difference.
28:15
And like the only way that Lewis didn't win was
28:17
being taken out by a rookie. I thought it was
28:19
just kind of funny. Oh, man. I'm not looking
28:23
too much into it, but I just thought it was kind
28:24
of comical in that sense. I don't think I think.
28:28
I don't think he probably had any say over it.
28:31
They probably had him fighting that battle because
28:33
it was reminiscent of his title fight with Max
28:37
Verstappen. What's the point that I was going
28:40
to say? Oh, I dislike the trope that I'm seeing
28:42
a lot where it's like, oh, they lost this race
28:45
or they had the opportunity to win this race
28:47
because someone else crashed. I'm seeing it all
28:50
the time in these kind of F1 shorts. You guys
28:53
haven't played this, and I don't know if you
28:54
will, and this is a spoiler for the F1 25 game.
28:57
now but it happened a couple of times in break
29:00
the latest breaking point and start installation
29:02
where someone crashed and other people got an
29:04
opportunity it's like okay so we're just kind
29:06
of banking on people crashing at that point so
29:08
yeah yeah i kind of feel you there Anything good?
29:11
No. I just opened the last two. Nothing crazy.
29:16
When I was watching that, the last race in Abu
29:19
Dhabi, I was like, oh, a red flag in Abu Dhabi
29:24
and a shootout for the last couple laps with
29:27
Lewis Hamilton in second. Boy, this feels very
29:29
reminiscent. I'm like, this is almost eerily
29:33
reminiscent. And another thing, actually, while
29:36
I'm on this kind of rant, when they crashed i
29:40
don't i don't know if it was actually jp's fault
29:42
that they crashed they were both really close
29:44
together it could have been either way it was
29:46
an incident whatever they crashed but the whole
29:48
like he's flying moment i didn't like that either
29:51
at the end at the end it was like he's flying
29:54
it's like that was cheesy i do like it though
29:57
because there was a bit of the backstory behind
29:58
it where he was kind of going through his own
30:00
like connected yes it connected to the start
30:02
of the movie which is always good in a movie
30:05
that they connected it but i just think it was
30:07
stupid it was cheesy yeah my one of the things
30:10
too i kept thinking he was gonna wreck well that
30:12
was during the flying moment he's gonna wreck
30:14
and die or something that was i thought they
30:16
were gonna play more into an injury because he
30:17
didn't get out of the car during that red flag
30:19
everybody else got out of the car and you could
30:21
tell he was hurting yeah i thought they were
30:23
gonna play his vision kept getting blurry exactly
30:25
i thought they were gonna play more into the
30:26
injury and more into like how it was going and
30:29
then i thought that was gonna take him out the
30:31
ending definitely surprised me i will not lie
30:33
granted it is a hollywood movie it has to be
30:35
something sort of dramatic or whatever at the
30:37
end but i didn't expect it to be that and then
30:39
i definitely audibly gasped when that happened
30:41
and he just drives to freaking what california
30:43
or whatever and yeah it's a baja does a baja
30:45
yeah baja race is i can't afford to pay money
30:47
yeah what is it about smelty all right i don't
30:51
know fade out fade out all right should i do
30:55
that right uh likes likes what did we like about
30:58
the movie i think there's plenty um i can lead
31:01
us off if that's okay do it whatever yeah all
31:03
right well i just i this is something called
31:05
out i really enjoyed that they played into the
31:08
dirty air kind of concept and how they're fighting
31:10
against it i think that actually might have been
31:12
like a problem that that the that the drivers
31:14
that when they watch it that might have been
31:16
the problem they had with it because it's so
31:17
unrealistic but i i liked that they brought that
31:19
in because we know how big of an issue it is
31:22
like in today's f1 races dirty air is just it's
31:25
like like you can't overtake with it it's really
31:27
hard so i like that they played into that being
31:29
strong point and them being more aggressive behind
31:32
someone instead of you know taking you know fastest
31:35
on straights and stuff like that so that's kind
31:37
of like the biggest thing i think i liked from
31:39
it for sure I'm just reading my notes. There's
31:43
a funny one here. Gunther leaning back and staring
31:45
down. Didn't you flip him off at the end? Didn't
31:48
Casper flip off Gunther at the very end of the
31:50
movie? I thought that was comedy. My wife even
31:51
started dying. Just the look on Gunther's face
31:55
just cracked me up. I think he only did it twice
31:59
where he leaned back. Something that Gunther
32:01
used to do all the time at Racist 2. He'd always
32:04
lean out the back and look like, what is this
32:07
guy doing? He's kind of mean mugging people.
32:11
I love how it was shot during real Grand Prix.
32:15
Yes. I think that's just like. You can fake it
32:19
all you want, but it was nice to have real teams,
32:22
real team members walking around. Cameos everywhere.
32:26
Papa Stroll walking down the pit. I got Roscoe
32:30
in there. Here's the credits fun fact. I thought
32:34
it was kind of interesting too that Brad Pitt
32:36
did an interview and he was like, we only had
32:37
two takes before the race began. We could not
32:41
mess this up. I think I said that to you Tyler.
32:45
There was a lot of, yes, CGI, maybe some kind
32:47
of funny chopping, editing things up with the
32:50
DRS bit you mentioned before. Probably wasn't
32:52
from that part or whatever. It didn't fit in
32:54
the movie in that aspect. But I think they had
32:56
to really make it work with what they had. F1
32:58
race weekends are very, very time sensitive.
33:00
For sure. I think the amount of production that
33:03
went into this needs to be mentioned. Obviously,
33:04
Lewis Hamilton being the producer of it. had
33:07
probably the golden ticket to literally anything
33:09
yep but i think it's worth mentioning just like
33:11
they probably didn't have the ability to continuously
33:14
redo over and over and over different takes and
33:16
stuff like that no you're 100 right i think it's
33:19
a good point no for sure um what do you got what
33:23
did you like um i liked a lot of the character
33:27
building i was not expecting to like the character
33:29
building as much as i did i really liked i really
33:31
liked jp some of my favorite characters are characters
33:34
who i hate at the start of a story and love at
33:36
the end because they just grow so much and that
33:38
was jp i really liked his uh his character arc
33:41
that he went through how he started as this really
33:42
cocky young gun kind of reminiscent of yuki in
33:45
a way of just like i'm the big dog here and i'm
33:49
gonna make a big name for myself and then got
33:52
humbled and then very quickly started turning
33:54
things around i really liked that scene of him
33:55
going through in the simulator like constantly
33:58
trying to take the same line like i know i didn't
34:00
mess up and constantly getting humbled like that
34:02
was so cool and i love i love writing like that
34:04
so that was that was a cool part yeah um i don't
34:09
know i like that this is just another jerry bruckheimer
34:12
you know situation and i like A ridiculous amount
34:16
of his movies, unfortunately. Let's see. I like
34:21
that it's kind of our first modern day F1 movie.
34:25
We got Drive to Survive, and we've had other
34:28
movies that have been released, but about older
34:31
drivers. So it's kind of nice to see the modern
34:33
again kind of being a gateway drug, hopefully
34:36
to gain more popularity in the sport. Well, to
34:40
that point, is there an opportunity for a second
34:42
movie? Not with the same character. I actually.
34:45
Unless maybe JP. That's what I'm saying. Right.
34:47
Because they the whole ending of it was him being
34:49
able to keep the team and it's around for a few
34:51
more years. Right. Is there an opportunity for
34:54
a second one? And. I think yes. Will it happen
34:58
or should it happen? What would be the storyline?
35:00
That's a great question. I mean, a similar thing.
35:02
You know, the young rookie is now a seasoned
35:04
veteran. He's got a handful of seasons under
35:06
his belt and now he teaches some other punk.
35:08
It's just, it's the typical rookie. You pretty
35:10
much set our pitch. We were talking about it
35:12
right after the movie. We were talking about
35:14
it as we walked out that I actually would love
35:16
to see another movie where, where. Sonny Hayes
35:19
comes back, but now he's too old to drive and
35:22
he knows it. So he's going to take that opportunity
35:23
as team principal. He's going to take over Apex,
35:26
over JP, who JP already has that trust for him
35:31
as a team manager. And then they'll have a new
35:34
rookie who JP gets to be the one to teach him.
35:37
As opposed to our drama in this movie where all
35:40
the drama was, you know, we're trying to fight
35:42
our way from the back to get our first ever win.
35:45
This time it's a, we're a front running team.
35:47
We're trying to win a championship. We won constructors
35:49
last year and we're trying to do it again this
35:51
year. Gotta keep it up. And like, and instead
35:53
of the drama being we're fighting the rest of
35:55
the field, it would be the drivers fighting each
35:57
other. And that would be our sense of drama in
35:59
the movie is, you know, teaching the newbie and
36:01
like the drivers fighting each other and your
36:03
biggest competition is your teammates type thing.
36:06
Something that we kind of already see happening
36:08
in our current F1 season. I think it has all
36:11
the makings to be a really bad sequel, so I hope
36:13
they don't make a second one. Sounds great to
36:14
me. I love Shrek 2. Hey, you're saying Shrek
36:17
2 is a bad movie? Excuse you? Come on, man. I
36:21
like Shrek 2. I agree. I agree. I think they
36:24
have the... The door's open. I think they definitely
36:27
have the standing, or rather the structure to
36:30
make a second one. I hope there's more F1 media,
36:35
movies, entertainment in the future. I think
36:38
a sequel of this would be... bad unfortunately
36:41
probably i think they just need to make something
36:43
new Different storyline. Maybe follow one of
36:46
the modern day drivers. That'd be cool. Like
36:48
they have in the past with Rush or Senna. It's
36:53
going to be Lewis Hamilton. It could be Lewis.
36:56
I was just thinking about it. Lewis Hamilton
36:58
would be really good. Max would unfortunately
37:00
be very good. I'm trying to think. Fortunately,
37:04
because he's his favorite driver. Speaking of
37:05
the things that we liked, I love that scene where
37:10
Sonny was holding up Max and Max finally gets
37:12
by. And as he goes, he flips him the bird. That
37:15
was classic. God, that was so funny. And so Max
37:18
Verstappen. I love it. Because I think the commentators
37:22
in the movie were even like, oh, and he gets
37:24
a little bit from Max Verstappen. And that's
37:26
to be expected or something. I liked how they
37:31
used some real moments of F1 history in the movie.
37:34
Like the 2008 -09, wherever it was. Renault team
37:38
that kind of got caught. Yeah. You know, sabotaging
37:42
the race or fixing a race, essentially, which
37:44
is why Flavia was suspended indefinitely anyway,
37:47
or lifetime ban is the words they used. And then
37:51
the 2019 F3 crash of Alex Perani, which is the
37:56
car flying through the air. Oh, yeah. Well, that
37:58
actually happened because I. I didn't know that,
38:00
and I didn't believe that that crash, like, that's
38:03
not real, right? This car's flying at Mach Jesus,
38:06
right? So, of course, if it hits a pebble or
38:08
something, or in this case was a bump, you know,
38:11
and the car flies like that, well, that actually
38:12
happened. It just didn't explode at the end of
38:14
it like it did. That's not Hollywood. It was
38:17
kind of like, well, it was kind of like a mix
38:18
between the Pirani crash and the Grosjean. Yeah.
38:22
car split in half situation uh so so that was
38:25
i know we were talking about this a little bit
38:27
before we started recording that like the big
38:30
fireball i was like whoa okay that's super hollywood
38:32
because like the crash happening makes total
38:35
sense but like the fireball there's no way it
38:37
should have ever ignited because the whole reason
38:39
that like roman grosjean's car started on fire
38:42
and exploded like it did was because he hit a
38:45
metal beam. It tore open his gas tank and because
38:48
it was metal on metal, it was creating sparks
38:50
and some of those sparks got into the gas tank
38:52
and it ignited the gas tank while we see JP hit
38:55
trees. And then it's sitting there for like a
38:58
second. Which burns. Come on. Got him. I'm an
39:04
idiot. Get him out. Get him out. The only other
39:11
thing I had down was what I did like is the Hollywood
39:14
drama. Dramatization. Dramatization. Dramatization.
39:19
There's a T in there. That's a big word. Anyway.
39:22
You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You
39:23
know what I mean? You know what I'm talking about.
39:24
It's a Saturday. You know what I mean? Is it?
39:28
I like how they showed kind of the pressure of
39:32
all the team members, you know, and how much
39:33
pressure they're kind of under a little bit.
39:35
They didn't play into it a lot, but there was
39:36
moments like the. the lug nut girl yeah yeah
39:41
you know yeah mechanic and then like even even
39:44
uh what's her name the girl that gets with with
39:47
brad pitt like even her job you know what i mean
39:49
director it's nice to see a little bit of the
39:53
pressure that they are actually under in real
39:55
life really like any moment can ruin the race
39:59
you know so i don't know i kind of like that
40:01
a little bit for sure i'm giving them a little
40:03
bit of love that they probably never get but
40:06
other than that great flick I'm glad I saw it
40:11
in a theater again, for sure. I wish I would
40:13
have saw it in the theater that you saw it in.
40:15
The screen's going up the wall, too. It would
40:18
have been pretty immersive. I was about to say,
40:22
good movie. I don't know if I'd watch it again,
40:24
but I think I will watch it again to not get
40:26
that experience, just because I want to see how
40:28
different it feels. When you buy it on Blu -ray,
40:31
you're going to see it at the house. It's just
40:32
going to be streaming service. I joked with my
40:35
wife before we went to go see the movie. We just
40:37
say, screw it, and wait a month. for it to come
40:39
out on Blu -ray or Netflix or something? Or do
40:41
we go and actually see it in theaters? I'm like,
40:42
well, we were going to do this. We saw it in
40:44
theater. But it was like, I kind of haven't seen
40:46
a movie in a theater in a long time. And I thought
40:48
it was kind of a cool experience. But also, like
40:50
you said, the ScreenX. Shout out to Marcus Theaters.
40:53
ScreenX is pretty cool. I think the ScreenX made
40:57
it a cool environment. I know the movie was filmed,
40:59
I believe, for IMAX. And shout out to you guys.
41:01
You said the IMAX in Minnesota sucks. So I didn't
41:04
go and find the IMAX at all. I just did the ScreenX.
41:07
It was fine. I thought it was really cool. In
41:09
IMAX, it was fine. Oh, you saw it in IMAX? Yeah,
41:11
it was fine. These guys are saying the IMAX in
41:13
the cities is just awful. It's just not real
41:14
IMAX. That's it. Did you go to IMAX? No, it's
41:18
not real. Unless I'm watching it at the science
41:22
museum, it feels not real. They used to. That
41:24
shut down some years ago. I thought they brought
41:26
it back. Said they. But I do remember showing
41:28
it now. But anyway. Anyway. Don't get me started
41:31
on anything, because I'll just ramble. So you
41:34
got the Rotten Tomatoes pulled up. I'm kind of
41:35
curious. Because we've got to give an audience.
41:37
I was just going to ask that. And I have this,
41:41
so I'll go last. So I want your guys' opinions.
41:44
We'll just go around the table then, Kev. I'm
41:46
thinking out of 10, 8 .5 to 9. Like 8 .75 if
41:49
we're going like day one. We've got to be exact
41:51
here, buddy. Are there decimals to the rating?
41:55
Or is that a percentage? It's a percentage. Give
41:57
a percentage. 87 and a half. Okay. That does
42:04
convert. It's Saturday. I don't have to do this
42:07
math. Thank you. No math, no spelling, no saying
42:11
big words. A percentage, I'll give a 69%. Nice.
42:16
I think if we were giving it out of 10, I'd say
42:19
probably around 7, so 69 % is just fun. Fair
42:22
enough. That's kind of right where I was at.
42:23
I picked 73, actually, as soon as Kev said his.
42:27
Yeah, yeah. reasons that we've already talked
42:29
about so it was good it was good good hollywood
42:32
movie i again like i'm glad i paid the money
42:34
for it you know i'd watch it i will watch it
42:37
again when i own it on blu -ray to add to my
42:39
collection because it's a modern f1 movie and
42:41
i want it to sit on my shelf in my little hangout
42:43
area do you want to give your rating so my my
42:47
opinion would probably be somewhere between an
42:49
80 to 85 percent i like it i think it's good
42:51
yeah it was good Yeah, so I think it's good.
42:56
Rotten Tomatoes is saying currently. Second day
43:01
release. Second day release. The Tomatometer,
43:04
so this is for reviewers, gave it an 83%. Okay,
43:08
nice. And the Popcorn Meter, so for regular fans,
43:12
97%. Pretty good. I mean, 83 is pretty high,
43:16
too. 83 is pretty high, too. Right out of the
43:17
gate. Yeah, so being received pretty darn well.
43:21
I'm pretty impressed. Awesome. I will say, I
43:24
think that has to do with the production value
43:25
that Lewis added to this movie. Yes. 100%. I
43:28
think he played a massive role. I don't think
43:30
it gets anywhere near that. It's probably mid
43:32
-50s if he isn't in this. Well, in the video
43:34
you sent me, I think, they brought Lewis in before
43:36
Brad Pitt even got off and pitched it. Yes. The
43:41
producers and the directors and whatnot brought
43:42
Lewis Hamilton in, being like, if we're going
43:44
to make this, we need to do this right. And he
43:46
is the way to do this right. Obviously, there's
43:48
other people that could have been involved, but
43:49
I think he expressed some interest in doing it.
43:50
And obviously, his involvement made it as seriously
43:54
accurate as it was, but also gave him access.
43:57
Yeah. there was talks and like those interviews
44:00
that i saw like the the national anthem in the
44:02
last race right yep they're at they're standing
44:05
there literally they're literally recording it
44:07
during the anthem yes so like there's a lot of
44:10
stuff that like had just a normal regular hollywood
44:13
production studio reached out and said hey can
44:14
we do this yeah maybe they would have but i think
44:17
they opened the floodgates for the real ability
44:20
to do this and i think the score is and when
44:21
you have a seven -time world champion i mean
44:24
they even said that he knows what he's talking
44:25
about you know what i mean so no i thought that
44:27
definitely added i did love that they had way
44:30
more racing scenes than i thought there was going
44:32
to be too i was a little worried that There'd
44:33
be way too much, which I like tech spec stuff,
44:37
but I figured there might be way too much of
44:38
that. I think there was just enough, just enough
44:41
racing scenes, if not more than I had anticipated,
44:43
which I don't know, for me, helped me keep, stay
44:46
glued. Keep your locks in. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
44:50
I was just a little worried about that, but yeah,
44:52
no, they succeeded there. Racing scenes were
44:53
dope in ScreenX, not gonna lie. It was really
44:55
cool. I would imagine. I got a little bit, like,
44:57
not queasy, but a little bit off, a little uneasy
44:59
when it was like the helmet cam. Yeah, that was
45:03
pretty cool. It was a really cool shot. Those
45:05
cameras were filmed with Apple cameras. Did you
45:07
know that? Apple, what do you mean, like an iPhone?
45:09
Essentially. Essentially, though. It was almost
45:12
similar cameras out of the iPhone 15 or 16 or
45:15
whatever for the TV podcams. Oh, yeah. Those
45:19
are Apple cameras. I mean, the camera technology
45:20
today is not so good. And those are F2 cars that
45:22
they were racing, which was designed to carry
45:24
the camera. I will say the front -on view of
45:29
the car, they look like F2 cars. i don't think
45:31
anyone would anyone outside of our world would
45:33
know that paint job i think and if you're looking
45:37
at it from like a side view or if you're looking
45:38
in among other cars it actually looks pretty
45:40
much like a f1 car just that it looks so skinny
45:43
when you're like for sure yeah oh yeah that's
45:45
i know i noticed that right away too i was like
45:47
boy their body is so skinny or their nose is
45:50
so skinny but again as a I'll also say, I think
45:53
the pops that they gave, like the exhaust, definitely
45:56
not like it happens in F1, but not as much as
45:59
that. That's also a quintessential F2 car, too.
46:03
They do that a lot there. So I'm sure that maybe
46:05
the car was doing that until they needed to add
46:07
it everywhere because it was doing it so much.
46:09
Just a blend. Yeah, sure. That would make sense.
46:11
You got to try to make it either consistent or
46:12
not. Or just because it looks really cool, right?
46:14
I was going to say, is it more of a Hollywood
46:16
thing? Like, oh, that's cool. The flames are
46:17
on the back of the car. Yeah. Sure, sure. People
46:19
will think it's going fast if it's got fire.
46:21
Yeah. Yeah. A ton of sparks, by the way. Obviously,
46:24
the floor is hitting the ground. But it happens
46:25
a lot. On certain tracks, it happens a lot. It
46:29
happens a lot. Definitely, I think, added in
46:30
in post, though. What about the fireworks exploding
46:33
so low that the fireworks are coming across the
46:36
street? I forgot to bring that up. It's reminiscent.
46:39
There was a race. I think it was the 24 Hours
46:42
of Le Mans where they were doing pyrotechnics
46:44
right next to the track. And they were huge pyrotechnics.
46:47
And the drivers were actually like, that's so
46:50
hot. feel it from inside the car so like i doubt
46:54
fireworks are gonna be that close but it made
46:56
for a really good visual oh man oh that was cool
46:58
and of course that was in the screen x as well
47:00
so like that was along the walls and like yeah
47:02
that was super immersive so like that was a really
47:04
cool visual thing to it so i liked it a lot but
47:07
i think it was a good i mean yeah I think we
47:11
were trying to shoot for 30 minutes. If my eyes
47:13
deceive me, we're at 48. Here we are. We're still
47:16
here. That pretty much wraps our F1 movie review.
47:21
Our first movie review ever. Potentially only
47:24
one ever. We'll see if we can cancel that. That
47:26
was great. We got people that liked our video
47:30
game reviews. Our video game episode. Watch us
47:34
have somebody like, oh, we love the movies. You
47:36
gotta do more movies. Great. We gotta make a
47:38
new show. But a couple things I want our listeners
47:44
to know about. July 15th -ish, the boys are scheduled
47:48
to start testing something cool. Well, we'll
47:53
just rip off. Do tell. It's time trials on F125
47:57
from our own homes, trying to put that together
48:00
for you so we can get ready to actually race
48:04
August 12th. I don't think we will be live, but,
48:08
you know, so look for episodes to release a couple
48:11
days after that. So that's just some exciting
48:13
fast -lapse news coming up. It's going to be
48:16
live. We do have another episode coming up this
48:19

48:42
movie, we appreciated your insight and your audio
48:44
insight, too. It was a lot of fun. You went to
48:46
school for it, so it was awesome to hear that
48:48
from you, straight from the horse's mouth, if
48:51
you will. I love the movie. It was a good time.
48:53
Thank you guys for letting me be on a part of

here, of course. Yeah, it was great. I'm glad
49:29
we got to talk about this. This was fun. I know.
49:31
This was great. And I especially like it. That
49:34
we kind of had two of each, right? That Kevin
49:36
and I saw it last night, so we've had time to
49:38
do random BS research. Like, again, I wouldn't
49:40
have known that. Luigi Fregoli or whatever one
49:44
was the oldest. He was the oldest winner in 1951
49:49

don't forget to like, comment, subscribe wherever
50:08
you listen to the banter, whether that's YouTube,

Spotify. Apple Podcasts, or iHeartRadio. And
50:13
we will see you later this coming week for Fast

Laps. Stay fast. Stay fast. Not an outro. Thank
50:21
