About this episode

On this episode Edd Straw and Jon Noble review F1: The Movie having watched the film in a media screening during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. They discuss what they liked and what they didn't, plus debate how well it works both for F1 and movie fans.


Is Brad Pitt too old to convince as an F1 driver? How spectacular are the racing scenes? Does the movie make sense? We answer all of those questions and more.


We also hear from the film's legendary producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, who tells Scott Mitchell-Malm how he and director Joseph Kosinski went about making the movie, and what their objectives were.
