Jason and Derek review their top 10 best (and worst) experiences behind the wheel in 2024. Everything from ulta-rare Porsches, to open-air Lamborghinis, manual-swapped Mercedes (and Ferraris), supercars, hypercars, rally icons, and more! === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === Christmas comes early for us this year (but not quite in time for this episode) in the form of 6 brand new sets of dutch rubber courtesy of our sponsor, Vredestein Tires!  The Curmudgeon's then continue with a discussion about each Carmudgeon's Grandmother's vehicular preferences, which included the likes of the Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer, ‘87 Chevy Cavalier, Saturn SL1, ‘99 Nissan Sentra, Dodge Aries K-car, Dodge Duster 340, and Buick Wildcat.  Then we briefly revel in some sweet, sweet vindication after Car and Driver named the Tesla Model 3 to their 10 Best list, but rejected the G20 BMW 3-Series (as it had the F30 before it) and specifically the G80 M3. The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 Blackwing both made this list, alongside a handful of perennial stalwarts like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and GR86/BRZ twins. Afterwards, we recount hanging with Jay Leno while filming 3 separate episodes of Jay Leno's Garage featuring Jason's Mk2 VW Scirocco 16V, E30 BMW 325i Touring, and E31 850 CSi.  And finally, it's time to talk best drives of the year! The boys loved three Ferraris: the 296 GTB, 360 Challenge Stradale (manual-swapped), and F50. Plus one car from Enzo's nemesis: the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.  Then, Jason and Derek include wwo Porsches: the 992.1-chassis 911 S/T and 964 Carrera RS 3.8. Both the Bugatti EB110 GT and Veyron made the list, as did another Piëch-era favorite: the VW XL1.  Speaking of VWs, the 1964 Beetle and new ID.Buzz both made the cut as well. What would a Carmudgeon episode be without a smattering of Mercedes products? The W209 CLK63 Black Series (manual-converted), W201 190E 2.5-16, C126 560SEC, and a W124 300E with a Mosselman twin-turbo kit and Zender body!  Two EVs even made the list: the incredible Lucid Air Sapphire and spunky Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Plus some exquisite lightweights: the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint 1300, Lotus Exige V6 Cup, and Lancia Stratos. The worst drives of the year? That honor goes to the disappointing Pagani Zonda and 4-cylinder W206 Mercedes-AMG C63. We end wondering how to rack up miles behind the wheel of our favorite vintage cars safely. One thing we can all agree we need? More time off!   Happy Holidays! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SEASON 2 EPISODE 63: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) BULLETIN: Details are sketchy because of an online systems failure (who names their system after the AMC Pacer?) but Sunday evening Judge Tanya Chutkan REINSTATED her Gag Order against Trump - presumably because of his threats to Mark Meadows and his misconduct in the New York gag order case - and Trump has acknowledged online that it has been reimposed. (8:47) The remainder of this bulletin is a repeat of Friday's Episode #62 and if you've heard it there's no reason to continue to listen. Although you'll have a damn good time if you do! SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump threatens the New York judge, while Jack Smith goes not for a stronger gag order but something closer to a Hannibal Lecter mask.  “This is judicial misconduct, coupled with prosecutorial misconduct, and somebody from the state of New York must step in and stop this complete and total miscarriage of justice,” unquote. BECAUSE Trump had earlier suggested that New York's GOVERNOR should “get involved” and because he capitalized the word “State” in State of New York, he kept one foot in that shadowy region in which he's lived that life and his attorneys could argue that he was NOT asking “somebody from the state of New York” to “step in and stop this” by attacking somebody like the judge or the district attorney. The rest of the filing shows that Trump IGNORED the New York Gag Order, IGNORED it again, was called to the witness stand to explain what he said, LIED ABOUT IT – PERJURED HIMSELF – and has proven to be unrestrainable even with the Gag Order as presently constituted. Jack Smith isn't telling the Judge that Trump has violated her GAG ORDER. He is telling her that Trump has violated the ORIGINAL CONDITIONS under which she did NOT jail him until the trial starts. To resume the quote. “Accordingly, the court should modify the defendant's conditions of release by making compliance with the Order a CONDITION or by clarifying that the existing condition barring communication with witnesses about the facts of the case, INCLUDES indirect messages made publicly on social media or in speeches.” Plus, Trump's faint grip on sanity seems to be slipping and the tell on that is: he has reverted to the genuinely unfathomable dog analogies that he fell into during the most stressful times of 2015-2016. When Trump starts claiming dogs get fired, he's about to lose it. And Speaker Mike Johnson, Day 2: For a man who spent twenty years advocating for sending gay people to prison for having sex, advocating for sending doctors to prison for providing family planning, advocating for a national abortion ban, advocating for fewer laws against guns, advocating for more laws against divorce, advocating for gutting of the entire societal safety net, advocating for disenfranchising minorities and entire states, advocating for using the constitution to destroy the constitution, advocating for the forced conflation of church and state, advocating for a conservative group that makes employees swear an oath to Jesus, advocating against transgenderism, advocating against men wearing women's clothes, advocating against women wearing MEN'S clothes, advocating restrictions against Muslims, advocating against federal disaster relief, advocating for more oil and gas and against science that has proved we are all going to be KILLED by more oil and gas, advocating for that idiot Amy Coney Barrett since he met her in 1988, advocating for a limit of three terms in the House and then running for this one – his FOURTH, and advocating for the overthrow of the duly-elected government of the United States throughout the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. For a guy who has done nothing but comment on everything, all the time, and always wrong… so far… he sure has been Speaker of The House Mr. No Comment. B-Block (31:08) IN SPORTS: Oh boy. The World Series. The 7th best regular season team versus the 12th best. I have never been less interested. Here's a shock: after legal sports gambling websites become the primary sponsor of all North American sports league, a player is suspended for half a season for...using one. And the brilliant idea from England's Tottenham Hotspur: give each player in its team history their own "legacy number." (35:08) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: President Duda of Poland may be trying to Trump the last election. E-Bikers should be saving the planet; instead they're menacing New Yorkers. And I do not pretend this isn't a crass idea. I think we should name the mass shootings after the politicians and propagandists who have enabled them. So Lewiston, Maine, should be named after Speaker Johnson or Susan Collins or Sean Hannity. C-Block (44:35) BULLETINS WITH THURBER: A story I have not previously read you, to which almost everyone can relate. How science and swimming almost kept him from graduating in "University Days."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we continue with the Martha Coolidge lovefest with her one truly awful movie, Joy of Sex. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT   From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. Last week, we talked about Martha Coolidge and her 1983 comedy Valley Girl, which celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its release this past Saturday. Today, we're going to continue talking about Martha Coolidge's 1980s movies with her follow up effort, Joy of Sex. And, as always, before we get to the main story, there's some back story to the story we need to visit first. In 1972, British scientist Alex Comfort published the titillatingly titled The Joy of Sex. If you know the book, you know it's just a bunch of artful drawings of a man and a woman performing various sexual acts, a “how to” manual for the curious and adventurous. Set up to mimic cooking books like Joy of Cooking, Joy of Sex covered the gamut of sexual acts, and would spend more than a year on the New York Times bestseller list, including three months at the top of the list. It wasn't the kind of book anyone could possibly conceive a major Hollywood studio might ever be interested in making into a movie.  And you'd be right. Sort of.  When a producer named Tom Moore bought the movie rights to the book in 1975, for $100,000 and 20% of the film's profit, Moore really only wanted the title, because he thought a movie called “Joy of Sex” would be a highly commercial prospect to the millions of people who had purchased the book over the years, especially since porn chic was still kind of “in” at the time. In 1976, Moore would team with Paramount Pictures to further develop the project. They would hire British comedian, actor and writer Dudley Moore to structure the movie as a series of short vignettes not unlike Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But We're Afraid to Ask. Moore was more interested in writing a single story, about someone not unlike himself in his early 40s coming to grips with being sexually hung up during the era of free love. Moore and the studio could not come to an agreement over the direction of the story, and Moore would, maybe not so ironically, sign on the play a character not unlike himself, in his early 40s, coming to grips with being sexually hung up during the era of free love, in Blake Edwards' 10. Still wanting to pursue the idea of the movie as a series of short vignettes not unlike Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But We're Afraid to Ask, Paramount next approached the British comedy troupe Monty Python to work on it, since that's basically what they did for 45 episodes of their BBC show between 1969 and 1974. But since they had just found success with their first movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they decided to concentrate their efforts on their next movie project. In 1978, Paramount hired actor and comedian Charles Grodin to write the script, telling him it could literally be about anything. Grodin, one of the stealthiest funny people to ever walk the Earth, had written a movie before, an adaptation of the Gerald A. Browne novel 11 Harrowhouse, but he found himself unable to think of anything, finding the ability to write anything he wanted as long as it could somehow be tied to the title to be an albatross around his neck. When Grodin finally turned in a script a few months later, Paramount was horrified to discover he had written a movie about a screenwriter who was having trouble writing a Hollywood movie based on a sex manual. The studio passed and released Grodin from his contract. In 1985, Grodin was able to get that screenplay made into a movie called Movers and Shakers, but despite having a cast that included Grodin, Walter Matthew, Gilda Radner, Bill Macy, and Vincent Gardenia, as well as cameos from Steve Martin and Penny Marshall, the film bombed badly. After the success of The Blues Brothers, John Belushi was hired to star in Joy of Sex, to be directed by Penny Marshall in what was supposed to be her directing debut, produced by Matty Simmons, the publisher of National Lampoon who was looking for another potential hit film to put its name on after their success with Animal House, from a script written by National Lampoon writer John Hughes, which would have been his first produced screenplay. Hughes' screenplay still would be structured as a series of short vignettes not unlike Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But We're Afraid to Ask, but Belushi would pass away before filming could begin. Penny Marshall would make her directing debut four years later with the Whoopi Goldberg movie Jumpin' Jack Flash, while Hughes' first produced screenplay, National Lampoon's Class Reunion, would actually begin production four weeks before Belushi died. Belushi kept getting the production start date for Joy of Sex pushed back because of he was working on a screenplay for a movie he really wanted to make, a diamond smuggling caper called Noble Rot, which Paramount had agreed to make if Belushi would make Joy of Sex first. After that, Paramount would hire the unlikely team of screenwriting teacher Syd Field and shock jock Don Imus to try their hand at it, before going back to Hughes, who at one point turned in a draft that was 148 pages long. After the success of Porky's around this time, Paramount would have the script rewritten again, this time by The Outsiders' screenwriter Kathleen Rowell, trying to make it into a raunchy comedy. Amy Heckerling, the director of Fast Times, was approached to direct, but she would turn it down because she didn't want to get pigeonholed as a raunchy sex comedy director. The studio needed to get the film in production by the end of May 1983, or the rights to the book and the title would revert back to its author. After Valley Girl started to get some good buzz just before release, Paramount would approach Coolidge to direct. Although the budget for the film would only be around $5m, Coolidge would earn far more than the $5,000 she made for Valley Girl. So even if she wasn't too thrilled with the script, it was good money. Maybe she should have waited. The film would begin production in Los Angeles and Santa Monica beginning on May 31st, 1983, literally the day before the movie rights would have reverted back to the author, and Coolidge would only be given twenty-six days to film it. It also didn't help that the production was working under Paramount's television division, and the producer, Frank Konigsberg, had never produced a feature film before. This final version of the script she would be working with, credited to Kathleen Rowell and first-time screenwriter, J.J. Salter, would be the nineteenth draft written over the course of eight years, and wouldn't quite be the raunchfest Paramount was hoping for, but they were literally out of time. To try and make things as comfortable for herself as possible, Coolidge would hire a number of actors and crew members from Valley Girl, and tried to shoot the film, as straight as possible, even with the studio's request for lots of gratuitous nudity. Michelle Meyrink, one of Julie's valley girl friends in Coolidge's previous film, would star as Leslie, a high school senior who tries to lose her virginity when she mistakenly believes she only has six weeks to live, alongside her Valley Girl co-stars Cameron Dye, Colleen Camp and Heidi Holicker. Also on board would be Ernie Hudson, who would go straight from making this film into making Ghostbusters, and Christopher Lloyd, who was still a couple years away from starring as Doc Brown, as Leslie's dad, a coach at her school. Coolidge's saving grace was that, despite the pressure to have scenes of nubile young co-eds running naked down the school halls for no good reason, the core of the story was about two teenagers who, while trying to learn about sex, would discover and fall in love with each other. Paramount would set the film for an April 13th, 1984 release, even before Coolidge turned in her first cut of the film. But when she did, that's when the proverbial poop hit the proverbial fan. Coolidge made the movie she wanted to make, a sweet love story, even with some scenes of gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. Which is not the movie Paramount wanted, even if it was the script they approved. Her relationship with the studio further soured when the first test screening of the film turned out to be a disaster, especially with teenage girls and women, who loved the love story at the center of the film but hated the completely gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. Coolidge would be fired off the film, the television and film departments at Paramount would get into vicious finger pointing arguments about who was to blame for this mess and how they were going to fix it, and Matty Simmons would pay Paramount $250,000 to have National Lampoon's name removed from the film, claiming the film did not represent what the magazine had originally signed up for. Paramount would cancel the April 1984 release date, while hiring two new editors to try and salvage the mess they felt they were given. The Directors Guild offered to allow Coolidge to take her name off the film and have it credited to Alan Smithee, but she would decide to leave her name on it. Even if the film bombed, it was another directing credit to her name, which could still help her get future jobs. When the new editors finished their work on the film, they had whittled down Coolidge's original version that ran 115 minutes into a barely cohesive 93 minute mess, and the studio decided to release the film on August 3rd. In the 80s, the entire month of August was pretty much considered a dumping ground for movies, as families were often eschewing going to the movies for their last moments of summer fun before the kids had to go back to school. Opening on 804 screens, Joy of Sex would open in ninth place, grossing an anemic $1.9m in its first three days. Ghostbusters, in its ninth week of release, was still in first place with $6.5m, and it would also get outgrossed by Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Karate Kid, all three having been released in May or June. After a second weekend where the film would lose nearly 20% of its theatres and 55% of its first week audience, Paramount would stop tracking the film. It's final reported ticket sales total would be just $3.69m. Because I am cursed with the ability to remember the most mundane things from nearly forty years ago while being unable to remember where I left a screwdriver yesterday, I still remember seeing Joy of Sex. It was on the #1 screen at the Skyview Drive-in in Santa Cruz. It was the A-title, playing a double bill with Cheech and Chong Still Smokin', which had not done very well when it had been released the previous May. My friends and I would head out to the theatre, Dick and some friends piled in his Impala, me and some friends in my AMC Pacer, with lawn chairs and frosty beverages in the trunks, ready to completely rip apart this film we heard was really bad. And rip it apart we did. I think there were maybe ten cars on our side of the drive-in, plenty of room for a bunch of drunken teenagers to be far away from everyone else and be obnoxious jerks. In 1984, we didn't have the internet. We didn't have easy access to the industry newspapers where we may have heard about all the troubles with the production. We just knew the film stunk something foul, and we had one of our most fun evenings at the movies destroying it in our own inimitable way. Not that I was going to give the movie another chance. It stunk. There's just no two ways about it, but I am now more forgiving of Martha Coolidge now that I know just how impossible a situation she was put in. Ironically, the debacle that was Joy of Sex would be part of the reason I so enjoyed Coolidge's next film, 1985's Real Genius so much, because Joy of Sex was still fresher in my mind than Valley Girl. But we'll talk more about Real Genius on our next episode. Thank you for joining us.

After the success of The Blues Brothers, John Belushi was hired to star in Joy of Sex, to be directed by Penny Marshall in what was supposed to be her directing debut, produced by Matty Simmons, the publisher of National Lampoon who was looking for another potential hit film to put its name on after their success with Animal House, from a script written by National Lampoon writer John Hughes, which would have been his first produced screenplay. Hughes' screenplay still would be structured as a series of short vignettes not unlike Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But We're Afraid to Ask, but Belushi would pass away before filming could begin. Penny Marshall would make her directing debut four years later with the Whoopi Goldberg movie Jumpin' Jack Flash, while Hughes' first produced screenplay, National Lampoon's Class Reunion, would actually begin production four weeks before Belushi died. Belushi kept getting the production start date for Joy of Sex pushed back because of he was working on a screenplay for a movie he really wanted to make, a diamond smuggling caper called Noble Rot, which Paramount had agreed to make if Belushi would make Joy of Sex first. After that, Paramount would hire the unlikely team of screenwriting teacher Syd Field and shock jock Don Imus to try their hand at it, before going back to Hughes, who at one point turned in a draft that was 148 pages long. After the success of Porky's around this time, Paramount would have the script rewritten again, this time by The Outsiders' screenwriter Kathleen Rowell, trying to make it into a raunchy comedy. Amy Heckerling, the director of Fast Times, was approached to direct, but she would turn it down because she didn't want to get pigeonholed as a raunchy sex comedy director. The studio needed to get the film in production by the end of May 1983, or the rights to the book and the title would revert back to its author. After Valley Girl started to get some good buzz just before release, Paramount would approach Coolidge to direct. Although the budget for the film would only be around $5m, Coolidge would earn far more than the $5,000 she made for Valley Girl. So even if she wasn't too thrilled with the script, it was good money. Maybe she should have waited. The film would begin production in Los Angeles and Santa Monica beginning on May 31st, 1983, literally the day before the movie rights would have reverted back to the author, and Coolidge would only be given twenty-six days to film it. It also didn't help that the production was working under Paramount's television division, and the producer, Frank Konigsberg, had never produced a feature film before. This final version of the script she would be working with, credited to Kathleen Rowell and first-time screenwriter, J.J. Salter, would be the nineteenth draft written over the course of eight years, and wouldn't quite be the raunchfest Paramount was hoping for, but they were literally out of time. To try and make things as comfortable for herself as possible, Coolidge would hire a number of actors and crew members from Valley Girl, and tried to shoot the film, as straight as possible, even with the studio's request for lots of gratuitous nudity. Michelle Meyrink, one of Julie's valley girl friends in Coolidge's previous film, would star as Leslie, a high school senior who tries to lose her virginity when she mistakenly believes she only has six weeks to live, alongside her Valley Girl co-stars Cameron Dye, Colleen Camp and Heidi Holicker. Also on board would be Ernie Hudson, who would go straight from making this film into making Ghostbusters, and Christopher Lloyd, who was still a couple years away from starring as Doc Brown, as Leslie's dad, a coach at her school. Coolidge's saving grace was that, despite the pressure to have scenes of nubile young co-eds running naked down the school halls for no good reason, the core of the story was about two teenagers who, while trying to learn about sex, would discover and fall in love with each other. Paramount would set the film for an April 13th, 1984 release, even before Coolidge turned in her first cut of the film. But when she did, that's when the proverbial poop hit the proverbial fan. Coolidge made the movie she wanted to make, a sweet love story, even with some scenes of gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. Which is not the movie Paramount wanted, even if it was the script they approved. Her relationship with the studio further soured when the first test screening of the film turned out to be a disaster, especially with teenage girls and women, who loved the love story at the center of the film but hated the completely gratuitous and unnecessary nudity. Coolidge would be fired off the film, the television and film departments at Paramount would get into vicious finger pointing arguments about who was to blame for this mess and how they were going to fix it, and Matty Simmons would pay Paramount $250,000 to have National Lampoon's name removed from the film, claiming the film did not represent what the magazine had originally signed up for. Paramount would cancel the April 1984 release date, while hiring two new editors to try and salvage the mess they felt they were given. The Directors Guild offered to allow Coolidge to take her name off the film and have it credited to Alan Smithee, but she would decide to leave her name on it. Even if the film bombed, it was another directing credit to her name, which could still help her get future jobs. When the new editors finished their work on the film, they had whittled down Coolidge's original version that ran 115 minutes into a barely cohesive 93 minute mess, and the studio decided to release the film on August 3rd. In the 80s, the entire month of August was pretty much considered a dumping ground for movies, as families were often eschewing going to the movies for their last moments of summer fun before the kids had to go back to school. Opening on 804 screens, Joy of Sex would open in ninth place, grossing an anemic $1.9m in its first three days. Ghostbusters, in its ninth week of release, was still in first place with $6.5m, and it would also get outgrossed by Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Karate Kid, all three having been released in May or June. After a second weekend where the film would lose nearly 20% of its theatres and 55% of its first week audience, Paramount would stop tracking the film. It's final reported ticket sales total would be just $3.69m. Because I am cursed with the ability to remember the most mundane things from nearly forty years ago while being unable to remember where I left a screwdriver yesterday, I still remember seeing Joy of Sex. It was on the #1 screen at the Skyview Drive-in in Santa Cruz. It was the A-title, playing a double bill with Cheech and Chong Still Smokin', which had not done very well when it had been released the previous May. My friends and I would head out to the theatre, Dick and some friends piled in his Impala, me and some friends in my AMC Pacer, with lawn chairs and frosty beverages in the trunks, ready to completely rip apart this film we heard was really bad. And rip it apart we did. I think there were maybe ten cars on our side of the drive-in, plenty of room for a bunch of drunken teenagers to be far away from everyone else and be obnoxious jerks. In 1984, we didn't have the internet. We didn't have easy access to the industry newspapers where we may have heard about all the troubles with the production. We just knew the film stunk something foul, and we had one of our most fun evenings at the movies destroying it in our own inimitable way. Not that I was going to give the movie another chance. It stunk. There's just no two ways about it, but I am now more forgiving of Martha Coolidge now that I know just how impossible a situation she was put in. Ironically, the debacle that was Joy of Sex would be part of the reason I so enjoyed Coolidge's next film, 1985's Real Genius so much, because Joy of Sex was still fresher in my mind than Valley Girl. But we'll talk more about Real Genius on our next episode. Thank you for joining us.

So, you can't find a ski rack tall enough to hold your Batman snowboard, still trying to figure out why the engaging essence of your deodorant called “Salt of the Sea” smells more like worms in a can, or perhaps you're trying to match the color of your 70's avocado green refrigerator to paint your newly restored AMC Pacer. We can't help with any of these problems, but we can help you waste another ninety minutes listening to the latest edition of “Kelly” Questions. This time we've managed to lure in another unsuspecting model railroad manufacturer with the promise of increased sales based on his ability to get the highest score possible. Chris Costello of JL Innovative stops by the studio to try his luck under the tin foil hat. Grab yourself a big bowl of shredded packaging tape, a tall cool glass of acrylic caboose red and enjoy.

No me digáis que soy malo por llamar al Renault 14 el “coche pera”… Porque fue una idea, mala idea, de la propia Renault. Muchas cosas salieron mal para que este coche, sucesor del R12 y mucho mejor que él, no triunfase… y para que nunca viese la luz su versión coupé. No nació para competir con el Volkswagen Golf, sino con la idea de superarlo. Ahí es nada. Pero esa era la meta del director de Renault, Bernard Hanon quien no escatimó recursos. Renault en los años 70. La gama de Renault en 1970 gozaba de un gran éxito, pero excepción hecha del Renault 5, nacido en 1972, se había quedado anticuada. Hablamos de los R4, R6, R16 y del R12 y sus derivados deportivos, los R15 y R17, sin olvidar que al R8 llegó hasta el 71 en Francia y 1976 en España y México. En el segmento medio, el de mayores ventas, el R12 ya era un dinosaurio, aunque se vendía bien y tenía mucho prestigio… y tuvo algunas segundas vidas como Dacia y en mercado de América de sur. ¡Más madera! Había que pararle los pies, mejor dicho, las ruedas, al VW Golf y a todo lo se le venía y desde Renault se pusieron en marcha. Hanon pidió a Robert Broyer, diseñador del R12, que diseñase su sustituto, pero pensando en el Golf, es decir, con dos volúmenes. Y como Renault tenía prisa hizo algo hoy en día muy frecuente, pero que no lo era tanto en esos años: Llegar a un acuerdo con una marca rival, concretamente Peugeot, para desarrollar un moderno motor que acabaría siendo usado más por Peugeot que por Renault. Recibimiento frío. Hemos tenido en esta serie de coches incomprendidos coches como el #Fiat Multipla o el AMC Pacer, coches que causaron rechazo desde el principio… pero no dejaron indiferente. Eso de que se hable de ti, aunque sea mal, también pasa en los coches. El R14 no causó rechazo, fue peor, causó cierta indiferencia. El R14, incluso por dentro, a muchos les parecía “demasiado moderno” a otros, simplemente soso… como era el caso de su salpicadero. El ”coche-pera”. Y entonces a un “brillante” -con comillas- ejecutivo-creativo publicitario se le ocurrió una idea extraordinaria: Comparar al R14, que se vendía en un verde “pera” con una pera. ¿Con que objetivo? No se sabe. A lo mejor ese día este creativo no se había tomado su medicación, pero lo cierto es que esta publicidad salió adelante. ¿Y qué pasó? Que se retiró enseguida. Pero el daño estaba hecho. Los clientes, no veían esa forma de pera como una solución de diseño destacable, más bien lo interpretaban como una prueba de falta de solidez y seriedad. Al final se quedó con el mote, que rebasó Francia para llegar a otros países. Convivió cuatro años con el R12, al que apenas superaba en ventas y antes de siete años fue sustituido por el R11 y luego por el 9. Su produjeron en algo más de seis años casi un millón de coches… ¿Puede considerarse en fracaso? Hombre si te digo que del VW Golf I se han fabricado 7 millones de unidades, desde 1974 hasta 2009, cuando cesó su fabricación en Sudáfrica, pues sí. Todo es relativo. España: Más de lo mismo. La vida del R14 en España fue todavía más breve, pues no apareció hasta 1976, cuatro años más tarde, pero eso sí, era Made in Spain. A pesar de los esfuerzos de la marca, el R14 lo tuvo peor en España, un mercado mucho menos maduro y donde los coches de 2 volúmenes, pese al Golf, se perciben como “menos coche” que un tres volúmenes. ¡Hubo un coupé! El proyecto 121, que era la clave interna del R14, contemplaba una versión coupé, parecida a un Hunting Break o Shooting Brake, como más os guste… “coupé de caza” para entendernos. En 1974 François Wasservogel, propuso este concepto de un "shooting brake" basado en el R14 que entonces se estaba industrializando. Se piense en Ligier para hacer esta carrocería, pero suceden dos cosas: Una la crisis de petróleo no invita a lanzar coupés, aunque sean modestos. La otra, que se acaban de remodelar los R15 y R17… así que iba haber una rivalidad interna. Se decide dejar el proyecto para más adelante, pero el escaso éxito del R14 aconseja no liarla más. Una curiosidad, para este modelo se preveía la denominación R9, por ser impar, como los otros coupés y de una numeración inferior, que debía dar idea que se situaba por debajo de los otros modelos deportivos. Conclusión. ¿Mereció este modelo semejante “maltrato” por parte de los compradores? Pues sin duda no. Honestamente, creo que no era un producto redondo que, si tren delantero McPherson no estaba bien resuelto, que faltaban versiones más prestacionales que sí tuvieron sus rivales, entre ellas el Golf GTi, que la estética no cautivo y que la publicidad fue en error de bulto… pero, dicho todo esto, no era un mal coche, ni mucho menos. Y, en mi opinión, en este momento, precisamente porque no tuvo éxito, porque se fabricaron, pocas unidades y se mantienen aún menos, es una buena pieza de colección.

With co-host Jill Ciminillo out on assignment this week, host Tom Appel and co-host Damon Bell start the show by discussing their test-drive experiences in the revamped-for-2023 Genesis G90 luxury sedan and the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Joe Ligo, Producer/Director of "The Last Independent Automaker," a documentary series about American Motors Corporation, joins us to discuss his ambitious project and the history of AMC. Tom has a  "3-cylinder, 4-cylinder, or 5-cylinder?" quiz for Damon, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog--including a test-drive review of the 2022 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan.   

¡Tenía ganas de hacer un vídeo de este coche! Primero, porque si hacemos un ranking de coches incomprendidos, el primer puesto estaría muy disputado entre este Pacer y el Multipla. Segundo, tiene una historia interesante. Y tercero, porque sencillamente me parece precioso. ¿A ti no? El AMC Pacer no solo me parece un coche bonito, sino que me parece que, como los buenos vinos, gana con el paso del tiempo. Para entender el Pacer hay que ponernos en contexto y recordemos que este modelo se comenzó a desarrollar en 1972, o sea, que la crisis del petróleo le pillo con el diseño ya comenzado. Pero, ¿cómo eran los coches americanos en 1972? ¡A lo grande! Si ahora en los USA más es mejor, en el mundo del automóvil y antes de llegar la crisis del petróleo, ni te cuento. Los USA eran y son un país grande, con largas distancias, mayoritariamente llano y con cantidad de acero, pero antes de la crisis del 73 además el combustible era realmente barato. Tres grandes y AMC. En esos años el mercado del automóvil de los USA estaba dominado por tres gigantes: Ford, GM y Chrysler… Sobre todo las dos primeras. La American Motors Corporation conocida por AMC se fundó en 1954 y murió en 1987. Su estrategia era clara, ser una pequeña empresa lo suficientemente hábil y ágil como para explotar nichos particulares del mercado que estaban desatendidos por los tres grandes. Un coche valiente, una marca cobarde. Los que seguís el canal, ya sabéis que valoro mucho los coches que son valientes y diferentes, aunque no siempre tengan acierto y no siempre éxito. Y es curioso, normalmente los coches “valientes” son propuestas de marcas valientes… pero no fue el caso. ¿por qué digo esto? Porque en este caso la propia marca no creía en su coche y reconocía desde el primer momento, literalmente, “que el coche no iba a gustar a todo el mundo”. Adelantado a su tiempo… ¿Demasiado? El AMC Pacer, en su época, fue absolutamente incomprendido y un fracaso de ventas. En cambio, hoy en día, son muchos los aficionados y especialistas que opinan que era muy adelantado a su época. La idea de su diseñador, Dick Teague, era muy interesante: Diseñar un coche que por dentro fuera tan grande como otros de mayor tamaño, con una estética diferente y bajo consumo de combustible. Teague quería poner en jaque a los grandes con su propuesta. Grande y pequeño. La habitabilidad del coche, para su tamaño, era muy buena. En esa época en los USA un coche de 4,34 metros de largo era claramente pequeño… incluso en Europa, sería mediano no grande. Además, es un coche más bien bajito, solo 1,36 m de alto, pero ancho, muy ancho, tanto como sus rivales de 1 y 2 metros más de largo: 1,96 cm. Este coche se puede decir que invento el concepto “cab forward” que consiste en que el parabrisas esta tan inclinado que “invade” por un lado el capó motor y por otro esta casi a la altura de la cabeza de sus ocupantes… la sensación de luminosidad es extraordinaria. ¿Wankel? ¿Seguro? Pues sí, seguro. La idea era dotar a este innovador modelo de un motor Wankel y para ello la firma AMC firmó un contrato con GM que estaba desarrollando un motor Wankel. En esa época se pensaba que el Wankel iba a ser un verdadero avance… Pero no… según GM avanzaba con el desarrollo del Wankel se daba cuenta de que era caro de construir, poco fiable e iba a gastar más que sus motores tradicionales y le dijo a AMC que se olvidase del motor Wankel. ¿Y qué hizo AMC? Pues tuvo que rehacer toda la parte delantera del coche, incluido chasis y suspensiones, para poder meter en el espacio que estaba reservado para un pequeño Wankel, un motor de seis cilindros en línea de casi 4 litros y propulsión trasera. Comenzó bien, acabó mal. Contra lo que hoy día se piensa, el Pacer comenzó su andadura comercial muy bien. En 1975 causo sensación y se alababa su espacio interior, su luminosidad y su practicidad. Pero poco a poco se vio que el motor de 4 litros y los más de 1.500 kg de peso hacían que los consumos fuesen mucho más altos que los de sus rivales, sobre todo europeos, de similar tamaño. El AMC Pacer hoy. No voy a decir que sea un coche cotizadísimo, porque aún se encuentran, sobre todo en los USA, a precios razonables en torno a los 15/20 mil euros. Pero desde luego sí te voy a decir que no han dejado de subir. ¿Y cómo va? No va ni mejor ni peor que otros modelos americanos de su época, lo cual es más positivo que negativo. Es un coche super cómodo, fácil de llevar, agradable de conducir y para mí, muy llamativo. Eso sí el depósito es grande, de 83 litros, pero si no mimas el consumo, bajar de los 20 ó al menos 18 litros no es fácil… al precio que está la gasolina, es lo peor del coche. Coche del día. La versión especial PACER X, en negro con llantas y detalles dorados y motor de 150 CV. Una versión cotizadísima que solo se fabricó en México.

Os hemos preparado una selección de coches con mala fama. Unos, porque eran verdaderamente un peligro. Otros tenían una fiabilidad muy deficiente… y soy bueno. Algunos no llegaron en el momento oportuno. Y los hay feos con ganas…o poco atractivos. Por una u otra causa estos 10 coches tienen muy mala fama… pero, ¿es merecida? En el mundo del automóvil la fama, la notoriedad que se dice ahora es muy importante. Muy importante si es buena, pero aún más importante si es mala. Porque te lo digo desde ya: Si un coche consigue tener muy mala fama, sus posibilidades de triunfar disminuyen considerablemente… hasta llegar a cero. 1. Ford Edsel (1958): Digno de estudio. Este caso se estudia en las escuelas de negocios, sencillamente, porque hacerlo tan mal no es fácil. Y es que se hizo todo mal. 2. Chevrolet Corvair (1959): Buena idea, mal hecha. La idea era buena, el coche no era feo, al contrario, a mí me parece muy bonito y desde luego era distinto. Pero para un conductor medio americano, el Corvair con su pesado motor colocado detrás no era un coche difícil de conducir sino un coche decididamente peligroso. 3. Citroën SM (1970): ¿Merece estar aquí? Me ha dolido meter al SM en esta lista. La clave es esta, ¿merece un icono de este calibre estar en esta lista? 4. Morris Marina (1973): Tecnología de 1948. Lo curioso es que, a pesar de su estética y de la cantidad de problemas que daba, tuvo cierto éxito. Un detalle: Montaba la mecánica del Minor de 1948, tecnología a la última. 5. AMC Pacer (1975): Demasiado avanzado. Ya os lo adelanto: Tengo intención de dedicar un monográfico de coches incomprendidos a este Pacer que, ¡ya sé lo que me vais a decir muchos! A mí me encanta y me parece precioso… 6. Aston Martin Lagonda (1976): ¿Fiabilidad? ¿Qué es eso? Hay coches que dan problemas y hay coches que son una pesadilla para sus propietarios… este Lagonda es el líder de este segundo grupo. ¿Merece estar en esta lista de coches con mala fama? ¡¡¡Siiiiii!!! 7. Yugo GV (1980): Pedir peras al olmo. Aparte de algunos motores que explotaron, de sus cortocircuitos y de cosas que se le caían… el coche era de lo mejorcito que se fabricaba en el Este de Europa y se vendía en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica a precio de risa. 8. Maserati Biturbo (1981): En carnes propias. ¡Como un coche con tanto encanto podía ser tan malo! La verdad es que cuando el coche iba bien, que era casi nunca, pues tenía su encanto. 9. Alfa Romeo Arna (1984): La idea era buena. Pero solo la idea. Alfa Romeo y Nissan se asociaron para hacer un coche con el encanto y la capacidad de seducción de un Alfa y la fiabilidad y la calidad de un Nissan. Pero algo salió mal y fue al revés. 10. Chrysler TC by Maserati (1988): ¡No te compliques! Os voy a leer la opinión de una revista del motor norteamericana líder en su momento que decía, lo leo: “El TC de Chrysler y Maserati es poco más que un Chrysler fabricado en Milán con algunos componentes caros y algo de cosmética, algo así como una abuela arrugada vestida con zapatillas de deporte y pantalones cortos ajustados”. Conclusión. Como veis no todos, pero sí la mayoría se merecen esa mala fama… y hay más que la merecen…

A leading critic of the new Macintosh computers? A hulking bodybuilder? “Why not all three?” He thought to himself. Just then a beacon of neon lights caught his eye through the rainy night. “Whoa bro,” He said to his Pacer, who rattled back disapprovingly of his selection. “This is the place.” He went inside, his senses overcome by the magnificence of the establishment. A cheerful young lady greeted him from behind a counter. “Welcome to the House of Skatin'!”

With the retirement of Ed Perlmutter from Colorado's 7th U.S. House district, the battle for the seat in 2022's mid-term election is wide open. Erik Aadland hopes to flip the seat red, in what most experts are predicting will be a wave election for Republicans nationwide. Also, Garth Algar's legendary robin egg blue 1976 AMC Pacer from 'Wayne's World' is going up for auction just in time for the film's 30th anniversary.

In this action-packed episode (it says here) of Bangers & Classics, the AMC Pacer in hauled (no easy task) front of the Banger or Classic jury, Kenny sets the lads a tough challenge, a Gandini-penned car finds itself in the Danger Zone, and Hammer Horror actresses throughout the land go into hiding...

This week (episode 37) the boys tackle the question: what songs in a scene are so iconic you couldn't possibly picture (hear?) it differently. And while we'll never spoil an episode, it's safe to assume we have a guy with a boombox and an AMC Pacer with some headbanging in this one. But we also have some John Denver, some Elton John, a little Mancini, a little Skynyrd, and of course, Felix Mendelssohn. In our eyes, this episode might just take you to the danger zone, but hopefully, you don't feel under pressure to give it a listen.

N.A.S.H. is the type of band where all it takes is one note, one beat or one nudge from the fan next to you, a fan swaying to the band's infectious music and charismatic live performance reminding you to forget about the day's stress' and to enjoy the show. Hailing out of a small town not too far from New York City, N.A.S.H. came to fruition when a triad of brothers took their basement jam sessions to a whole new level of musicianship. At a young age - Bryan, Jim Bobbi and Joe began their venture jamming to nostalgic hits from bands like Metallica and Pearl Jam. As they got tighter and developed their own sound, the brothers took to crafting original material that would speak to a wide audience and give them a platform to take their music to the masses. Their music maintains a blend of hard rock adaptations that heavily incorporate crunchy guitars, epic solos, solid back beats, commanding bass lines and vocal passages that can woo even the most stubborn of music connoisseurs. N.A.S.H. is sure to captivate any fan with their catalogue of music regardless if it's fast and loud, heavy and heart wrenching or a tune you can simply bang your head to as if your sitting in the back of Wayne and Garth's blue flame-painted 76' AMC Pacer. As N.A.S.H. developed, they brought in the talented Dylan on lead guitars that resulted in an awesome live wall of sound and allowed fans to enjoy the music as it was recorded. The band has independently released their acclaimed debut “Regain the High Ground” and released their sophomore album titled “Incredible Villains” with Heavy Metal Records. N.A.S.H. is set to go back into the studio in the fall of 2021. “Our performances are meant to bring back the age of big rock stage shows that leave your ears ringing, your neck strained, and your heart wanting more. Our fans are our friends, and they are the people we need to get our music to.” https://www.nashrocks.com/?fbclid=IwAR3N73CqPb5m7J-DavjbukwRfpkGh-kX6ZJFSs5UIakwWAJlIdgRDz-bWdA https://www.facebook.com/Nashvoice This episode is proudly brought to you by: Betterhelp : https://www.betterhelp.com/sipod for 10% off Mack Weldon: https://www.mackweldon.com/suckit Promo Code "SUCKIT" for 20% off!

Der AMC Pacer spaltet die Geister. Für die einen ist es das hässlichste Auto, das jemals gebaut wurde, die anderen verehren den Pacer als Kunst auf dem Asphalt. Die Wahrheit liegt vermutlich irgendwo dazwischen. Während die einen den Pacer wegen seiner großen Glasflächen als Aquarium bezeichen, wird er von anderen aufgrund seiner markanten Frontscheinwerfer als Frosch verhöhnt. Tatsächlich irritiert der Pacer den Betrachter zunächst, weil das Auto zwar auf dem amerikanischen (!) Markt als Kompaktwagen angepriesen wurde und von der Seite auch recht kompakt aussieht, allerdings ist er auch breiter als die seinerzeit aktuelle Mercedes S-Klasse. Ein Knubbel-Auto also raunt man sich hinter vorgehaltener Hand zu. Allerdings muss man, um den Pacer zu verstehen, mal in ihm gesessen und vor allem: ihn gefahren haben. Liebhaber sagen für den Pacer sei das Cruisen erfunden worden. Und tatsächlich erinnert das innere des Autos eher an ein Wohnzimmer als an ein Fahrzeug der Kompaktklasse. Solide Technik, in der höchsten Ausbaustufe einen wohlig brabbelnden 5 Liter V8 unter der Haube und eine Beifahrertür die länger ist als die Fahrertür damit die Mitfahrer besser hinten einsteigen können, machen den oft unterschätzten Pacer zu einem echten Wohlfühlmobil. Ron ist innerlich zerrissen, ob er den Pacer jetzt irgendwie toll und dann doch verabscheuenswürdig finden soll, Oli verteidigt das Auto tapfer gegen jede Kritik und verweist auf die vielen Filmauftritte und Laura findet den Pacer zwar ganz niedlich, will aber auf gar keinen Fall einen haben. Wer wissen will, was Brigit Bardot und der Wankelmotor mit dem Pacer zu tun haben, wieso AMC bewusst hässliche Autos konstruierte und warum Queen das Auto unvergessen macht – der sollte unseren neusten Podcast hören! Excellent, Party time! Foto (c) @waldbranding c/o cars of berlin - vielen Dank!!!

The AMC Pacer was instantly a "cult car" the moment it rolled off the assembly line in 1975 - but this quirky car would go on to accomplish much greater things than anyone today could have ever imagined. This humble ugly duckling was one of the heroes of the gas crisis that gripped the country during the 1970s.As always, if you enjoyed this episode, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on iTunes or on any app that carries podcasts as well as on YouTube.

Jimmy and guest Mario Bernardi get all metaphysical with 1977’s Oh, God! The big takeaway? If God is serious, he wouldn’t make his messenger drive an AMC Pacer.

Los coches raros, diferentes y originales, triunfan. Por lo menos aquí, en Garaje Hermético, porque los garajistas sabéis mucho de coches. Ya hice un primer vídeo pero este segundo lo habéis hecho vosotros con vuestras propuestas… ¡y me encantan! No os las perdáis… ¡algunos son aún más raros que los de la primera entrega! Este es un vídeo coral que he hecho con vuestra ayuda. La verdad es que conocía todos estos coches, algunos los deseche, de otros no me acordaba y en algunos casos me habéis descubierto nuevos datos. Así que este vídeo está dedicado a todos los que hacéis comentarios. Muchas gracias. He elegido 10 de los que hablo en orden cronológico. Al final hay uno de propina… espero que os gusten. 1-Morgan 3-Wheeler (1932 y 2020) Una idea brillante y original para hacer un deportivo sencillo y barato. 2. Biscuter (1953) Esto es lo menos que puede despacharse en coche. 3. Mini Moke (1954) Aunque os parezca un absurdo, que lo es, este coche nació para competir con el primer Land Rover. 4. Saab Sonett (1955) El único deportivo puro fabricado por Saab. 5. Brasinca Uirapuru 4200 GT (1964) Este modelo es anterior al Jensen Interceptor, un coche que me encanta. 6. Citroën Mehari (1968) ¡Cuánto me gusta este coche! Tanto que no descarto tener uno algún día. 7. Artés Gato Montés (1971) De este coche me había olvidado en el primer vídeo, pero me lo habéis recordado varios de vosotros. 8. Matra-Simca Bagheera (1973) O simplemente Matra Bagheera, aunque se supone que desde 1969 el acuerdo entre ambas marcas se había firmado ya. 9. AMC Gremlin (1975) Este coche le he visto junto con el AMC Pacer en las listas de coche feos y que han fracasado… pues no estoy de acuerdo. 10. Anibal podadera (1986) Francisco Podadera creo una empresa denominada Podadera Designs y creó algunos coches muy interesantes. 11. Tesla Cybertrack (2021) Este es el bonus track. Se anuncia la venta de este horror para 2021 y hay en todo el mundo más de 250.000 reservas… la gente está loca. Espero vuestros comentarios, porque no descarto que tengamos que hacer una tercera entrega de rarezas… esas rarezas que nos encantan a los garajistas.

It's always fun to have Karri Anne on with us on "The 5:15 Show" and this, her third time with us, was no exception. On this show, we had Karri Anne tell us the whole story on how she won the "Pinks All Out" driving an AMC Pacer. From getting the ride, to entering, to going round by round, to becoming a coast-to-coast story after winning it all! There is even a humorous "denial of the powder room" by the show's producers back story too! You can hear Karri Anne tell the whole story of the race here and then see it by clicking on this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAWDjEq5SIc

The 2nd movie we ever discussed, on Dec. 18th, 2018. It’s ANOTHER musical (kind of)! We were still working on the title of the podcast. Popi did a hero’s job to get this under 2 hours. You’re welcome. Note that at this point we were attempting to do the pre-watch and post-watch in one sitting. Better establishes key elements of our pre-watch structure: “Do you recall seeing this in the theatre?”, “Twitter Synopsis”, “Top 3 Memorable Scenes/Quotes”, “Do you have any merch?”, “Where were you?”. Aaron sadly confuses the Pinto with a Gremlin and/or AMC Pacer, and also can’t count to 11. This is when Popi adds “Social Importance” and “Quotability” to our rating items, and it’s obvious we don’t yet know what the hell we were up to (sorry about the echo on Popi’s voice, that’s Aaron’s fault with a bad audio set up). If you’re a fan of Omar Sharif, Peter Cushing, Freddie Laker, and/or LeRoy Neiman paintings, this may be the episode for you...or not. Aaron lays out the case for romantic story lines ruining a good action movie. Enjoy our tween/teen version of 80’s nostalgia - like trying to fix the vertical hold to see a boob on Cinemax, skateboarding, Pacman fever, Blaupunkts, the school stress dream, and trying to figure out girls. Our adult selves attempt to untangle stereotypes about male prison rape, homosexuality, the preoccupation of the financial media on interest rates, and American isolationism...clumsily. Alternate episodes titles: “There’s always a bigger nerd”, “Who wouldn’t try the banana?”, ”It all sounds like some bad movie”, “The pigeons are the real heroes”, “Underage bestiality is really beyond the pale”, “Our boob demographic is not getting enough”. It may take the Doctor’s 4 hours to get the smile off YOUR face, but only if you get through the whole damned thing, which is held together with seaweed and snot. This podcast should win an academy award for technical excellence, because it was literally filmed underwater. Latrine!

This is the epic conclusion to Episode 04A, where we talk about Oh God! after having re-watched it. Despite taking more than 9 months to edit the 2nd half, these were originally recorded only a few weeks apart in January 2019. You will be amazed at the continuity if you listen to both episodes back-to-back. Includes our legendary post-watch re-rating items: "Science", "PC", "Nudity", "Social Value/Impact", "Quotability", as well as "Good/Bad" critique of the critics. This was also the episode where Popi coins our now-permanent exiting tag line in the last minute, don't miss it. Trust me when I say I worked hard to edit this DOWN to a tight 2 hours, 19 minutes. This is definitely establishing itself as a podcast for people who really have a lot of time to kill and just want to hear SOMETHING, for God's sakes ANYTHING but silence. We had lots to think about our format after this marathon session. For those of you with the guts to listen all the way, you will be rewarded many times - we might peak at about 1 hour in - exploring the pain of grocery store management. We probably trough 10 minutes later where I take a break to do a fitness challenge but don't bother to stop recording. We worship at the altar of St. John. We pay tribute to Oly beer, and appeal to your urge to reminisce about the 70s and 80s with gems like the Airwolf theme song, and the AMC Pacer commercials among many others, especially inspired by the many comedians I searched for drops from. Finally, what you really wanted to know: we resolve for all time whether Cukes should be waxed or...something else! P.S. If the drops are the best thing about this podcast for you, here is a sample of ones used in this episode: Richard Little Same Protection Rant: Down and Out in Beverly Hills https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Vd-jKS34w Cleveland Wins the Pennant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp7xMfOOsYI&feature=share Cut!

Welcome back to The Horror Pod Class, this time with more science. Maybe not real science, but more how we fear and distrust scientists and science in general. Don't think that's true? Well just look at the kind of movies we keep making, Splice being the poster child. Also, Mike totally gets a car in a movie wrong and we discuss how you too can make sure your political agenda is heard by the masses by reviewing movies on Amazon. Before we get there, we talk about some of the great works of horror fiction we are currently reading and watching. Connect with us Tyler and Mike at: The Horror Pod Class Facebook Group Signal Horizon on Facebook and Twitter Mike D on Goodreads Helpful Links: Selena Chambers Call For Submissions.

The New Scientist- "Unicorns and Designer Babies: How CRISPR Creator Sees the Future" If you prefer to have CRISPR explained to you by some actual smart people in an audio format, check out Radiolab by WNYC. They CRISPR'd a baby! Yeah, they totally did. The reaction was not what you would expect if all you knew about science came from movies. So... Mike totally got the car wrong in this movie. It is an AMC Gremlin, not an AMC Pacer. The Gremlin, Pacer, and Spirit were all kinda similar cars made by American Motors Corporation. They were all garbage and driving them was terrible. It is kind of odd though that the Gremlin has become something of a "nerd car" in movies. Maybe we will revisit cars in movies at a future date. Here is the article from Quillette about Transhumanism and the Transgender community. It's not very good. Needless to say, we disagree pretty strongly on a number of fundamental levels with the author's views on both Transhumanism, technological progress, and gender more broadly. Also, the picture of the "skin-put" phone is actually from a Kickstarter scam, not a real actual thing or even a thing that would work.  Do you want to read (not-so) Anonymous Amazon Customer's review in full?  Just click here and look at the first 5 star rating entitled "Human Experimentation- A Most Relevant Question" to read the entire screedifesto.  HOMEWORK: Watch "A Dark Song" on Netflix. It's super awesome and then tune in next week to hear author Nadia Bulkin discuss it with us!

A loving tribute the the AMC Pacer with writer/actor/comedian Mary Jo Pehl

Boy, this one has a lot of parts. Some of it was recorded on Monday, at home with Jon, after dinner. We talked about his new experiences in high school. The next day we were off to get stuff for Isabelle's art classes. So, we went to Home Depot, and recorded on the way there. We saw an AMC Pacer, amazingly, which led to us talking about Isabelle's Mom's Pacer. Yup, she had a Pacer. Finally, we got to grocery shopping! Jon had some problems with his computer on Saturday, which was a nightmare for a bit. Jon reacted well though. Oddly, that same day Isabelle got a call from India from 'Microsoft' about how her computer had a virus..... The final bit was recorded on Sunday, We talked about Evel Knieval and Snoopy toothbrushes.

In this second episide of Dennis Anyone?, Dennis sits down with Hollywood make-up artist and entrepreneur Brett Freedman to discuss the art of being a makeup artists, writing fan letters and the joys and perils of buying a vintage AMC Pacer off Ebay.
