Auto racing movies: Le Mans, Ford vs Ferrari, Rush
<p>In this episode, <strong>Game Film</strong> reviews three films based in the fastest-moving sports of them all, namely auto racing. <strong>Hosts Aron Harris and Os Davis</strong> take a look at three good ones:</p><p><strong>• Le Mans (1971)</strong> – Steve McQueen stars in this high-action, low-dialogue vehicle (so to speak) centered on the events during one run of the world’s most famous endurance race;</p><p><strong>• Ford vs Ferrari (2019)</strong> – the Oscar-nominated telling of the Ford Motor Company’s rise in competitive distance motor racing in the mid-60s which features engaging, tour de force performances from Matt “Bourne” Damon and Christian “Batman” Bale; and</p><p><strong>• Rush (2013)</strong> – director Ron Howard’s surprisingly intense look at one of Formula 1’s great rivalries, that of Nikki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth). </p><p>See you at the racetrack and/or the film room...</p>

Animals playing football: Gus, Bonzo Goes to College, Air Bud 2
<p>Gods help us: In this episode, <strong>Game Film</strong> focuses on the incredible Hollywood sub-genre of movies about animals playing football – professional, college and high school (we think). Hosts <strong>Os Davis and Aron Harris</strong> take a look at:</p><p><strong>• Gus</strong> (1976) – NFL laughingstocks the California Atoms employ the services of a Yugoslavian mule on the field, not to mention a murderer’s row of 1970s TV sitcom dads; </p><p><strong>• Bonzo Goes to College</strong> (1952) – the second in the mighty Bonzo movie franchise has the genius chimpanzee first whiffing on an easy question about Joe DiMaggio’s batting average and ultimately quarterbacking the college’s loser team to victory; and</p><p><strong>• Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver</strong> (1998) – in which a dog retires from basketball to take up basketball and hang out with a tween, his widowed mother and a serial killer-looking new BF.</p><p>See you at the veterinarian – i mean, in the film room…</p>
