Groan Turismo
In this episode, Chris and Marty chat about Sky's new documentary Williams & Mansell: Red 5, the nominations for the Motor Film Awards 2023 are out, and Chris braves the brazen product placement to review the new Gran Turismo movie.
But first in the news, the Oscars of our world - the Motor Film Awards - have their nominations announced. Michael Mann's Ferrari has released a first trailer and we wonder; can Adam Driver really become Enzo?
Chris and Marty both watched the twinned stories of Mansell and Williams in Red 5. Marty has also been watched B is for Build do boats, Ratarossa and SamCrac rebuilding a slightly charred F430, and some idiots doing bad stuff to a Ferrari. Chris broke out a podcast of Toto Wolff on Desert Island Discs, lots of Daily Driven Exotics (and their half hour of daily content!) and Chris Harris monstering the Tuthill 911K.
Our review for this episode is Gran Turismo. I missed watching Oppenheimer in IMAX for this.
In "What has Henry Catchpole been up to this week?" Chris and Marty actually meet up with Henry at the first live recording of The Intercooler podcast! Henry also drove an OEM+ Tolman Peugeot 205!
For his pick, Chris went with the ever excited train enthusiast Downie Live who attended on the Canadian GP with the Alpine F1 team! His channel pick is from the Motor Film Awards nominations with the young but beautifully produced Misha on Wheels channel.
Marty picked another from Larry Chen highlighting Singapore's car culture, and highlighted the continuing, interesting, varied work from Driftworks! (Also their brilliant, deep dish energy merch!)

Driven (no, not that one)
Chris and Marty are back! In this episode, we talk about the new F1 movie and its fake Apex Racing team, there's a mini-review of the latest Mission Impossible movie and Chris looks at 2018's Driven film about Jim Hoffman and John DeLorean.
But first, Apex Racing for the as yet unnamed F1 film is being filmed now during active Grand Prix weekends. We'd love to share The Race's great video on it, but F1 have copyright claimed it, so instead here's Martin Brundle chatting with Brad Pitt.
Sky Documentaries is now showing their latest Mansell and Williams film.
Since our last episode we've been watching The Grand Tour presents Eurocrash, Marty raves about Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 in IMAX, both have been enjoying Tavarish's P1 Rebuild and Chris loved George Russell in a Eurofighter Typhoon.
Following his successes in Ted Lasso, Chris reviews Jason Sudeikis's turn in Driven (Not that one).
In 'What has Henry Catchpole been upto this week?', Henry shares his thoughts on the new Aston Martin DB11, and Chris really, really likes his writing.
For his Youtube picks, Chris has picked a Larry Chen video meeting the German YouTuber JP Performance. For his channel, Chris has gone back to The Race for their quick, but insightful reporting.
Marty has chosen the latest interview between Doug deMuro and Alanis King discussing their automotive takes, and for his channel its long time Tavarish collaborator Jack Builds It.

Fast-Ten Your Seatbelts
The Fast franchise is back with Fast X, and we're here with our review of the craziest Fast movie yet. We also talk diggers, Monaco TV and rubbish pick up trucks that made it to the UK.
But first we discuss the development of the Dunsfold site, otherwise known as the Top Gear test track. Gran Turismo has a trailer out with the film following soon. F1 has taken over production of the Monaco Grand Prix from TMC, and the next Grand Tour adventure - Eurocrash - is coming out June 16th!
Since the last episode, we've both been enthralled by Tavarish salvaging a McLaren P1, the great Nurburgring 24h live stream, and after Steve Sutcliffe voiced his opinion that the McLaren F1 is overrated, some classic Best Motoring featuring an F1 group test that rather backs up his theory. Chris also raises some interesting tips from The Photographer's Eye about how to get the best out of YouTube for viewers.
For our review this episode, it has to be Fast X. Be warned, there is a spoiler section ahead!
In 'What has Henry Catchpole been upto this week?', he's been taking a ride in the brain scrambling McMurtry Spieling fan car!
For their YouTube picks, Chris went with one from TJ Hunt where he and his crew unpack a BMW Motorsport GT3 body kit, and all giggle like kids at Christmas. For his channel he went with the Nurburgring 24 Hour, which not only hosted live streams of the race, but quickly cut some beautiful highlights packages to aid the fan engagement.
Marty picked F1 sharing the whole Imola Grand Prix from 2005, but as we recorded F1 had pulled it (Although it's still on the excellent F1 TV) and instead he went for the soggy 2008 Monaco Grand Prix which Matt Bishop recently said he thought was one of Lewis's greatest drives. Finally, no mention of Best Motoring can pass without recommending it as the rabbit hole of unique motoring fun it is!
60 episodes! Can you believe it!

Villeneuve Pironi
Chris and Marty review the recent Villeneuve Pironi documentary and chat the usual rubbish about what they've been watching (a lot of YouTube) and what they think you should be watching (also a lot of YouTube).
But first, the first talk from the F1 organisation has said filming for the upcoming F1 movie will be disruptive. In other news; water is wet. the Pope is catholic and bears do that thing in the woods.
Since the last episode, Chris and Marty have been watching sooooo much YouTube. Marty loved the Throttle House Porsche 918 Spyder Review, Obsessed Garage Wash And Drive: 997.1 Porsche GT3RS and Ratarossa Rebuilding a Wrecked Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Chris is loving the Team Prawn Racing channel, Hard Up Garage I BOUGHT ABANDONED SUPERCAR!!! WITH ONE HUGE PROBLEM!!, More Larry Chen, and the fascinating What Is Monaco Like 2 Months Before The Race?,
Returning with a movie review, Chris and Marty discuss the moving Villeneuve Pironi.
Catching up with Henry Catchpole's work, his film Prototype Porsche 959 Sport: The Fastest 959 EVER? passed the Automovie Podcast test of looking at 959s for sale before the video had even finished.
For his YouTube picks - yes, more YouTube content this episode! - Marty went with Flat Out In The £3m, 654bhp GMA T.50 V12 Fan Car from Top Gear, while his channel of choice is the brilliantly named Savagegeese. Meanwhile Chris went with Stefan Drury's Building the 2023 Australian F1 Circuit 🏁 and for his channel Driven Media is really channelling those early Top Gear vibes.

Is Drive to Survive still relevant?
On this episode Chris asks if Drive to Survive is still a must watch for F1 fans, Marty marvels at Adam LZ's compound and they both form the Jason Cammisa mutual appreciation society.
But first, the trailer for Fast X has dropped, and Marty's not sure if the meme comments are better than the bonkers trailer.
Netflix's new season of Drive to Survive has landed, but is it still interesting for F1 fans? Do they need to grow with the audience?
The BBC have halted filming on the latest series of Top Gear and issued an apology to Freddie Flintoff. We both hope Freddie can make a full recovery quickly and move on with his life, but what does it mean for Top Gear?
Since the last episode Marty has been watching lots of Adam LZ videos and Jason Cammisa crushing it on Hagerty. Chris has particularly enjoyed Red Bull's Aussie Adventure and Misha Charoudin sharing the behind the scenes of how one of his videos is filmed and edited.
In 'What Is Henry Catchpole Up To This Week?' news, he takes his childhood tifosi to drive the Ferrari Purosangue
For his Youtube pick, Chris went for something a little different with Jet Lag The Game's latest series of turning the roads of New Zealand into a board game. The whole channel is worth a watch if you like adventure and games with travel. Marty watched mountain bike racer Matt Jones building jumps in his garden for his Ariel Nomad! He also highlighted the FIA WEC Youtube channel who are posting race replays as well as their highlights packages!

Helping YouTubers Grow Their Channels
In this episode, we don't review a move! Instead, Marty tries to watch the Lamborghini movie, Chris does some research on how to help YouTubers reach more viewers and we discuss why Ted Kravtiz is vital to Sky's F1 coverage.
Customer Reviews
Two of my favourite things
By the title I mean cars and films, I’m not saying Marty and Chris make my trouser parts tingle. That said, the presenters work really well together and have grown into the podcast very quickly and I really enjoy their perspectives on films I love, some I don’t, and a load of info about car related content out there on streaming and the internet. Well worth a listen!
Great for car nerds and movie geeks.
It you like cars and / or car movies give this a listen. Each episode covers a particular subject such as the fast and furious movies, or the Gumball Rally with lots of geeky detail that I love. Marty and a Chris are engaging presenters who know both their cars and their films. Also they cover a lot of car based you tube content which probably doesn’t get the formal reviews deserved or otherwise.
A great listen
A fascinating podcast into the world of cars and the screen (whether it be TV, movies, or on the new-fangled internet). Clearly the two presenters are very passionate about the subject, and it really shows through. Perhaps a bit geeky at times, but that’s something to be celebrated! Looking forward to more from these two guys!
