A podcast about the multiverse of car movies. From Cars 2 to Herbie: Fully Loaded, writer/presenter Harry Mitchell and cultural critic Dusty Smith delve into the movies that get our pistons firing. Car knowledge not required, and is usually not present.
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.
