Comedians Sid Bridge & James Rodatus talk about movies where cars play an important role.

    Dog Soldiers - Reels and Wheels

    Dog Soldiers - Reels and Wheels

    James and Sid discuss the all-time question, what's more deadly? Werewolves or Land Rovers.
    Yep. It's Dog Soldiers. There's some thoughtful back and forth here as Sid sees this as a top-5 example of a good low-budget Werewolf movie, while James found it a bit schlocky. 
    Either way, we have two Land Rovers. Find out what unlikely vehicles they actually represent on the newest episode of @ReelsandWheels!

    Super Troopers

    Super Troopers

    Sid and James tackle the cult classic meow movie about State Troopers who can't take their job seriously. It's fun. But... meow why?
    It's a long story that Sid tells meow at the beginning of the podcast about the sad end to his meow Thunderbird and his recent meow NA Miata purchase.
    Oh, and meow Super Troopers has a Miata. So there.
    Meow.

    Rebel Without a Cause with Patric Fransko

    James Dean had a short career as a movie star and died tragically before his fame was in full effect. Rebel Without a Cause is a stand-out for Dean, but we delve into his personal life to talk about the cars he raced as well.

    Riding Bean with Derek Williams

    Riding Bean with Derek Williams

    Derek Williams - Comedian, voice talent, expert gamer and Anime lover - is back on Reels and Wheels and he has a great Anime for us. 
    The obscure(ish) Riding Bean! 
    This one kind of defies description. It's a 45-minute one-off short movie that never led to a longer series. The story follows Bean, an accomplished Chicago driver as he gets caught up in a kidnapping plot as convoluted as The Big Lebowski.
    But... the cars! Sure, we have plenty of well-drawn, brand name vehicles, but Bean's car is a bizarre amalgam of vehicles so well-put together, that no two people see the same influences. 
    Make sure you follow Derek (@DerekFiveLetters) and follow Reels and Wheels and leave us some feedback!

    The General with Brett Stillo

    The General with Brett Stillo

    Ready for a very unique episode of Reels and Wheels?! For the first time, (and it's about time!) we talk locomotives! This is the 1926 classic Buster Keaton silent film, The General.
    Joining James and Sid is one of our favorite cinematic experts (and a guy who knows his Buster Keaton), Brett Stillo!
    The General is silent comedy based on a real life civil war locomotive chase. We also answer the always looming question... Can a silent film still captivate an audience today? 
    Spoiler alert - with this film, YES. Make sure you catch up with Brett Stillo on social media and keep up with his own movie project.
    Make sure you subscribe to Wheels and Wheels on your favorite podcast platform and leave us some feedback!

    Planes Trains and Automobiles

    Planes Trains and Automobiles

    Happy Holidays from Reels and Wheels! For this episode, Sid & James get into the holiday season with Planes Trains & Automobiles - a John Hughes classic about the worst attempt at holiday travel ever.
    This movie definitely delivers in the "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" department, with a glorious assortment of malais-era cars, but it's also an excellent movie that rises above comedy by creating two deep, relatable characters.
    Plus we have a who's who of 1980's background character actors and an unlikely Star Trek actor cameo. Send us your feedback, @ReelsandWheels!

Delightful

Fantastic deep dives on the kind of car-heavy movies and shows that only a Motorhead could love, mixed in with enough current blockbusters to keep things lively.

I’ve just listened to a half-dozen episodes from The Italian Job and Ant-Man to *gasp* Knight Rider 2010, and each one doesn’t disappoint.

How about mining the rest of the Knight Rider knockoffs with an episode on the Chrysler Concept car-spotting Viper show on NBC?

For the hard core “car movies” enthusiasts!

Listening you guys dissecting and analyzing cars used in movies is even better than watching the movie itself. Thanks for your time involved in this.

Great stuff

Great podcast guys. Really enjoy how y'all go into the history of the cars. Looking forward to new episodes
