APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

Almost every movie and television show needs cars, and auto companies are happy to supply them – because it helps sell a lot of cars.

 

We’ll look back at James Bond and Starsky & Hutch, and explore auto partnerships with movie franchises like Transformers and Marvel.

 

We’ll also tell a crazy story of how the most sought-after car from a Steve McQueen movie was finally found – and the cosmic coincidence that led to its discovery.

 

Cars are the stars.
