En mai 1957, Enzo Ferrari est confronté à l'un des pires drames de sa vie : un accident tragique lors des Mille Miglia coûte la vie à son pilote Alfonso de Portago, à son copilote et à neuf spectateurs. Ce choc survient alors que Ferrari est déjà meurtri par la mort de son fils Dino, victime d'une maladie génétique un an plus tôt. L'enquête judiciaire qui suit menace directement l'avenir de la marque au cheval cabré. Dans le même temps, sa vie personnelle s'effondre : sa femme Laura découvre sa double vie et l'existence de son fils illégitime, Piero. Acculé, Enzo refuse l'aide de Ford pour sauver son entreprise et parvient à conclure un accord crucial avec Fiat. Malgré les pertes humaines, les scandales et les difficultés financières, il protège l'indépendance de Ferrari. Ce récit retrace la chute, la résilience et la renaissance du Commandatore. Une histoire de passion, de deuil et de survie, au cœur d'un empire bâti sur la vitesse. Une légende née dans les larmes, l'huile et le sang.

Baleine sous Gravillon - Nomen (l'origine des noms du Vivant)
Vous connaissez l'expression : derrière chaque grand homme, il y a souvent... un grand cheval qui l'a porté vers la gloire. Voici quelques fameux ayant porté des célébrités : Pégase était un cheval blanc ailé, né du sang de la Gorgone Méduse, décapitée par Persée. Domestiqué par le héros Bellérophon, Pégase l'aide à vaincre la Chimère. Pégase a été transformé par Zeus en une constellation d'étoiles. Bucéphale (tête de bœuf) était un étalon noir acheté par le père d'Alexandre le Grand, Philippe de Macédoine (Philippe signifie “ami des chevaux”). Le nom de Bucéphale vient du fait que sa tête ressemblait à celle d'un bœuf. Le Cheval de Troie offre le dénouement aux Grecs et précipite l'issue de la Guerre de Troie, après 10 ans de combats. Selon l'Odyssée, Ulysse se cache dans cette statue en bois avec des soldats, et sort la nuit pour ouvrir les portes de la cité aux soldats grecs. Aldebarran, Altaïr, Rigal, Sirius sont les 4 chevaux "stars" qui conduisent Ben Hur (Charlton Eston) à la victoire dans le péplum réalisé en 1959 par William Wyler. Incitatus était le cheval favori de l'empereur Caligula (37-41 après J-C) qui le considérait comme le fruit de la combinaison de tous les dieux. L'empereur lui fit construire une écurie en marbre avec une mangeoire en ivoire ; son collier était incrusté de pierres précieuses et il se reposait sur une ouverture pourpre. Il fut nommé Consul de l'empire par Caligula. Balamer fut la monture d'Attila, roi des Huns. Là où le cheval passait, l'herbe ne repoussait pas. Le cheval blanc d'Henri IV s'appelait Albe, qui signifie Blanc. Il était noir, ou beige ou gris, selon les auteurs… Rossinante est la moins reluisante de toutes les montures de cette liste. Mais, dans le roman de Cervantès, et pour son fantasque cavalier hidalgo, Don Quichotte, c'est la monture la plus intrépide du monde. Le Cheval cabré de Ferrari était peint sur la carlingue de l'avion de chasse de Francesco Baracca, aviateur héros de la 1ère guerre mondiale. Enzo Ferrari fit la connaissance de la comtesse Paolina, mère de Francesco Baracca, qui lui suggéra de mettre l'emblème de leur fils sur ses voitures pour lui porter chance. Le fond jaune est la couleur de la ville d'origine d'Enzo Ferrari, Modène. Jolly Jumper est le cheval le plus rapide de l'Ouest est monté par Lucky Luke depuis 1946 (créé par Morris) à travers 117 histoires. Il sait défaire des nœuds, jouer aux échecs, et faire des blagues. Il est de race Appaloosa et n'a que du mépris pour Rantanplan. Tornado porte le cavalier qui surgit du fond de la nuit : Zorro. Cet étalon noir aussi répond aux sifflements du “renard” qui combat l'injustice en Californie mexicaine. Petit-Tonnerre est un poulain mustang, le copain de Yakari, un jeune indien Sioux qui a le don de parler aux animaux, dessiné par Derib. Gripoil est le cheval de Gandalf dans Le Seigneur des Anneaux. Gripoil (Shadowfax en anglais) est le chef des Mearas, les plus grands chevaux de la Terre du Milieu, les descendants de Felaróf, le cheval parlant d'Eorl. Comme eux, il est de couleur grise ou argentée, et comprend le langage humain.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Reports suggest Ferrari are divided as to how to change their 2025 F1 car. Has their strategic gamble for this year already had unintended consequences?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsFerrari has found themselves trapped in a crisis of their own making. What began as an ambitious strategic gamble to revamp their Formula 1 car design has backfired, leading to internal tensions and disappointing results on the track. With top driver Lewis Hamilton struggling to adapt despite bespoke modifications tailored specifically to his driving style, the pressure is mounting. Ferrari's controversial switch from push rod to pull rod suspension has resulted in handling difficulties, instability under braking, and costly lapses in performance. Even more troubling is the internal split—drivers Hamilton and Leclerc reportedly have conflicting visions about the team's development direction, causing further confusion and delays.Adding fuel to Ferrari's troubles is corporate interference, blurring the once-clear lines between the racing team and road car divisions, a distinction Enzo Ferrari himself fiercely protected. Upper management indecision regarding key upgrades further illustrates the disconnect, creating frustration within the team and among fans alike. Will this mismanaged strategy cost Ferrari both drivers and championship ambitions, or can they pull together to reclaim their historic place atop Formula 1? In this video, we unpack the reasons behind Ferrari's disastrous decisions, the emerging internal conflicts, and the critical next steps for the iconic Scuderia.#f1 #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #ferrari #scuderiaferrari #ferrarif1 #f1news #f1latest #bahraingp #bahraingrandprix #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama How Ferrari sabotaged their own F1 car https://youtu.be/0aHfe1PRJnQ

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso recount their visit to Modena, Italy. They describe the city's attractions, from balsamic vinegar to Ferrari. They also discuss travel safety tips and the upcoming changes to the podcast schedule. Key Points: Podcast Schedule Update: Beginning the first Wednesday of April, the podcast will switch to two episodes per month for a few months. This change is due to scheduling constraints. Travel Safety Advice: Travelers to the Napoli area should be aware of recent earthquake activity. Visitors should note the location of their country's consulate. A grab-and-go bag with essential documents is recommended. Recent heavy rains caused flooding in Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and parts of Emilia-Romagna. Modena's Centro Storico: Kimberly and Tommaso visited Modena, known for its balsamic vinegar and Ferrari. Kimberly recalls fond memories of buying balsamic vinegar during her time in Milan. The city was decorated for Christmas, with a unique style of lighting the streets. The hosts admired the lack of crowds in Piazza Grande. Modena was originally a Roman colony called Mutina. UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Modena has three UNESCO-recognized architectural masterpieces. The Duomo is a Romanesque building that took 220 years to build. The Bell Tower of the Duomo is known as Ghirlandina. The Piazza Grande is the third UNESCO site. Famous Modenese Figures: Luciano Pavarotti, the famous tenor, was from Modena. His home slightly outside the city is now a museum. Chef Massimo Bottura, who runs Osteria Francescana, is also from Modena. Giuseppe Giusti Balsamic Vinegar: The Giusti family has been producing balsamic vinegar since 1605. The shop on Piazza Grande has a very alluring interior. Kimberly and Tommaso tasted and purchased various vinegars. They paired the vinegar with parmigiano and Brunello upon returning home. Ferrari Museum: The museum focuses on the life and work of Enzo Ferrari. The museum showcases noteworthy Ferrari automobiles. The design and color of the cars, as well as the devotion to each car, stood out. The exit features a quote from Enzo Ferrari: “The best Ferrari ever built, is the next one.” Follow us on Social Media Instagram Facebook
En nuestro radar aparece como una exhalación Ferrari. Parece que en la marca de coches deportivos aparecen aires nuevos en su GPS. Benedetto Vigna, CEO del fabricante automovilístico, declaró a la CNBC que los compradores son cada vez más jóvenes, debido a la larga lista de espera que tiene la marca. Así pues la política de exclusividad y de producir una cantidad de coches limitada lleva ligada a la compañía desde sus inicios. Solo hay que hacer mención a la famosa frase del fundador de la marca, Enzo Ferrari: “siempre entregaría un coche menos de lo que demanda el mercado”. Y es que la marca siempre protege su legado y su imagen, por encima de los números. Para poder comprar un Ferrari, no solo basta tener dinero: la compañía investiga el historial del cliente y ve si su relación con otros coches de lujo ha sido adecuada. Es por esto que de manera usual siempre hemos pensado que los compradores de Ferrari eran gente más mayor, con un patrimonio ya consolidado que aseguraba la viabilidad de la posible adquisición del exclusivo modelo. Pero parece que ahora se impone el aquí y ahora. Tanto es así que muchos de estos antiguos compradores no esperan y no están dispuestos a esperar los plazos de entrega. Los nuevos compradores sí. Tanto es así, que como confesó Vigna a la CNBC, el 40% de los nuevos compradores ahora tienen menos de 40 años. ¿Y qué hay de los coches eléctricos? Ferrari no es ajena a los nuevos tiempos y planea sacar al mercado el primer coche totalmente eléctrico el próximo 9 de octubre. Además, la marca también anunciará modelos híbridos. Es verdad que hay reticencias porque siempre se ha asociado el modelo de coches italianos a la velocidad. Ante esto, Benedetto Vigna declaró que si bien es cierto que algunos clientes nunca comprarán un Ferrari eléctrico, otros posibles compradores han indicado que sólo aceptarán un vehículo eléctrico. Para él “es una de las decisiones de las que estamos más orgullosos”. Ferrari fue fundada por el piloto de carreras Enzo Ferrari en 1929. Al principio, formaba parte de la escudería Alfa Romeo. No es hasta siete años después cuando Enzo logra independizarse de la marca italiana y puede poner su nombre a los coches. El primer modelo fue el 815 construido en 1940, con el que Ferrari ganó la Mille Miglia. Aunque la segunda guerra mundial truncó la construcción de estos deportivos para centrarse en la industria militar, la llegada de la Fórmula 1 en los cincuenta da la enorme popularidad que tiene hoy.
On Ferrari Friday's, William Ross from the Exotic Car Marketplace will be discussing all things Ferrari and interviewing people that live and breathe the Ferrari brand. Topics range from road cars to racing; drivers to owners, as well as auctions, private sales and trends in the collector market. In this episode William delves into the overlooked life and contributions of Laura Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's wife, in celebration of Women's History Month. He covers various aspects of her life including her role in Enzo life, their complex relationship, her unseen influence on Ferrari's financial stability, and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated era. William highlights Laura's crucial involvement in maintaining and managing Ferrari's finances, which arguably saved the company from financial ruin. He also touches upon personal anecdotes, the impact of their son Dino's illness, and the controversial dynamics involving Enzo's mistress, Lina Lardi. He also emphasizes the need for more recognition of Laura Ferrari's significant, yet underappreciated contributions to the legendary car brand. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction to the Show 02:04 Celebrating Women's History Month 02:11 The Enigmatic Laura Ferrari 03:35 Early Relationship with Enzo 05:18 Marriage and Early Challenges 07:29 Laura's Increasing Involvement in Ferrari 11:23 The Palace Revolt and Aftermath 15:07 Laura's Legacy in Ferrari 17:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/ Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright William Ross, Exotic Car Marketplace a division of Sixty5 Motorsports.

You can read it though, just a summary of the banger of a video you're watching.In this in-depth automotive discussion, we explore the controversial question: Is Ferrari losing its luster? Drawing inspiration from a thought-provoking question by Doug DeMuro and insights from leading car enthusiasts, our conversation dives into Ferrari's evolving market position. We examine how Ferrari's traditional image of exclusivity, performance, and luxury is being challenged by modern trends such as rising depreciation, shifting consumer values, and stiff competition from brands like Porsche.Over hours of candid pre-roll chat, the discussion unfolds—from heated debates on the true value of a Ferrari compared to the aspirational yet more accessible Porsche GT3 and GT4 RS, to critical analyses of Ferrari's pricing, production limits, and brand management strategies. We unpack the irony behind Ferrari's approach to exclusivity and how its current lineup might be losing the magic that once defined the prancing horse. Topics also include the influence of social media on luxury sports car culture, the role of manual transmissions in preserving driving passion, and whether the modern Ferrari experience can still deliver the adrenaline-pumping, unforgettable moments that enthusiasts cherish.If you're passionate about automotive culture and the future of supercars, this video offers an engaging, thought-provoking look at whether Ferrari's storied legacy can withstand today's market forces. Tune in for a no-holds-barred discussion on the state of Ferrari in the modern era, and join us as we debate if the magic of Italian supercars is fading—or evolving for a new generation.———TAGSFerrari, Ferrari rant, automotive rant, car podcast, car talk, Doug DeMuro, automotive discussion, supercar debate, Ferrari vs Porsche, luxury sports cars, exotic car market, car depreciation, Ferrari depreciation, Ferrari exclusivity, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari culture, sports car review, GT4 RS, Porsche GT3, manual transmission, Ferrari stock, RACE ticker, automotive trends, car ownership, supercar values, car enthusiasts, high-performance cars, automotive journalism, Italian supercars, car social media, Ferrari fan, automotive analysis, car industry commentary.————————————The views and opinions expressed in this video are solely those of the hosts and do not in any way reflect or represent the official views, opinions, or positions of Ferrari or its affiliates, Porsche or its affiliates, or Cars and Bids or its affiliates.

No os voy a hablar de las marcas que mejores coches fabrican… ni de las que más coches fabrican… ni de las más deseadas por Los aficionados… Hoy os quiero hablar de marcas de coches que han hecho HISTORIA, con mayúsculas… y va a haber sorpresa… y polémica. No es fácil elegir las marcas que han hecho historia… porque todas han hecho historia, sobre todo las más antiguas… más o menos, para bien o para mal, todas. Pero las ha habido con más protagonismo. Alfa Romeo. Algunos pensaréis que como pongo a Alfa Romeo entre estas 11 elegidas… y si vierais las que se quedan fuera, lo dirías todavía más. Entre su nacimiento en 1910 y ese declive de los años 80 Alfa ha sido una marca con una imagen insuperable, pionera y protagonista en el comienzo de la F1 y con innumerables éxitos deportivos que fueron la semilla de Ferrari. Citroën. Está aquí no por sus modelos, sino porque fue la primera marca europea en “importar” la fabricación en cadena, el propio André Citroën fue a Ford para verlo en primera persona, y la primera marca en hacer inversiones importantes y acertadas en publicidad, como iluminar la “Torre Eiffel”, entre otras. Ferrari. Probablemente sea la marca de coches más conocida del Mundo. La F1 ha ayudado, sin duda, pero Ferrari es “LA” marca de coches deportivos por antonomasia conocida por aficionados y no aficionados. La personalidad de Enzo Ferrari, “Il Commendatore” tiene mucho que ver en ello. Fiat. Es la marca italiana y una de las marcas mundiales más prolíficas fabricando fuera de su país. Os diré solo unos cuantos países: Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, China, EE.UU., España (con marca Seat), India, México, Polonia, Rusia (con marca Lada y Vaz entre otras), Serbia (antes Yugoslavia con marca Zastava) y Turquía… seguro que me dejo alguno en el tintero. Es una de las marcas de coche más internacionales del Mundo. Ford. Solo por fabricar el modelo T, que llegó a ser la mitad del parque mundial en los años 20, o por popularizar la producción en cadena o por vencer con sus motores en 176 GG.PP. de F1 Ford merecería estar aquí. Honda. ¿Qué tiene Honda de especial? Muchas peculiaridades, pero para mí destaca por tres. Primera, es una marca de movilidad. Comenzó fabricando bicicleteas, luego motos sector en el que sigue siendo el primer fabricante y luego coches. ¡Incluso aviones! Segunda peculiaridad: Honda es el mayor fabricante de motores del Mundo. En generadores, máquinas herramienta, todo tipo de maquinaria de jardín y de obra verás motores Honda. Y la tercera es su tecnología. Para todas o casi todas las marcas la tecnología es el medio. Para Honda la tecnología es el fin… un fin en sí mismo. Lada. Probablemente sea la marca más joven de esta lista… y sin probablemente. Pertenece a la empresa avtoVAZ ¿Y cómo he metido esta marca rusa? Porque si decíamos que Fiat o Ford habían colaborado a motorizar el Mundo, está marca ha colaborado a motorizar “su” Mundo, que primero fue la extinta Unión Soviética y ahora Rusia. Mercedes-Benz. Si consideramos a Ferrari como la marca deportiva por excelencia, la marca de lujo por excelencia es Mercedes. Mercedes, durante mucho tiempo, hizo bueno su eslogan de “Lo mejor o nada” … no sé si será capaz de seguir ese camino. Renault. Esta marca francesa es una de las más antiguas, pues fue fundada nada menos que en 1828. Los fundadores fueron los hermanos Renault, apasionados de la mecánica y de la competición. Es curioso como esta marca ha sabido mantener el ADN de sus fundadores. Porque han diseñado y vendido coches mayoritariamente prácticos y útiles, pero siempre han estado involucrados en la competición, desde el principio. Volkswagen. La marca VW hace historia desde su nacimiento. Se crea gracias a Hitler que soñaba con un “coche del pueblo” que es lo que significa, como ya sabéis todo Volkswagen en alemán, crea una ciudad para esa fábrica, una central eléctrica… Toyota. Supongo que todos habéis adivinado que la otra marca japonesa era Toyota y, por ende, Lexus. Toyota ha hecho historia por muchas cosas, pero dejadme que destaque solo una: Es una marca joven, nacida en 1937, que se dedicaba al negocio textil y que decide fabricar coches… ahora es el mayor fabricante del Mundo y uno de los mejores por su calidad… si hablamos de Lexus, puede que los mejores como comentamos en el vídeo titulado “Lexus, ¿loe mejores del Mundo?” Y ahora, las que no están. Echareis de menos muchas marcas… no hay ninguna inglesa. Para mí tampoco se los merecen Audi, BMW o Porsche. Insisto en que aquí no hablamos de marcas que hacen buenos coches, sino que hacen historia. Y si, Porsche hace el 911… ¿y que más modelos icónicos tiene? Tampoco está Peugeot, que paso de hacer molinillos de café a bicis, motos y coches… pero está eclipsada por Citroën y Renault.
Mis buenos amigos de Planeta DeAgostini… ¿cómo podían saber que el 330 es mi Ferrari favorito? Estoy enamorado de este coche. Este podcast lo hacemos con la ayuda de Planeta DeAgostini, que nos va a ofrecer a todos los aficionados una maqueta, con la calidad con la que ellos son capaces de hacerlo, del Ferrari 330/4… ¿Qué no conoces este coche? ¡Pero si se le considera el coche de carreras más bello de todos los tiempos! Con un motor central V12 de 4 litros y 450 CV… es-pec-ta-cu-lar. Y esta maqueta cuenta con dos características muy especiales: Primera: Su fidelidad… ¡con licencia oficial Ferrari! O lo que es lo mismo, con los planos de Ferrari… es simplemente perfecta. Solo te digo una cosa: Mira las imágenes del motor. Segunda: Además de perfecta, es… ¡enorme! De escala 1:8 a lo que es lo mismo, ¡medio metro de largo!… ya he preparado en el salón de mi casa un hueco para esta maravilla. Y añadiría una más, porque Planeta DeAgostini sabe hacer estas cosas: No te asustes, si sigues las instrucciones que vienen con las piezas, no es complicado de construir… es más, ¡lo vas a disfrutar!

Uno de vosotros me propuso un reto: Hacer un listado con los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia… ¡menudo desafío! Pero en GH… ¡nos atrevemos con todo! Hay tantas listas de “Los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia” como aficionados, porque cada uno tiene sus preferencias… os traspaso un reto: ¿Y si hacemos una lista con vuestras preferencias? 1. BMW M3 (1986). El M3 marcó un antes y un después en el mundo de los deportivos y sobre todo en BMW, pues fue el pistoletazo de salida de la división M. 2. Ferrari F40 (1987). Tras el desgraciado fallecimiento del “Commendatore” el 14 de agosto de 1988, lo tuve claro: El F40 era el mejor deportivo del momento, sería uno de los mejores deportivos de la historia y se convertiría en un mito. 3. Honda NSX (1990). Como un Ferrari… pero mejor y utilizable para el día a día. Este coche lo he podido probar muchas veces, usarlo a diario y viajar con él. 4. Jaguar E (1961). Seamos sinceros: La mayor cualidad del Jaguar E es su estética, en especial en su versión descapotable, para mí el “verdadero” Jaguar E. Esa es la virtud que ha prevalecido con el paso del tiempo, en especial desde que Enzo Ferrari dijo aquello de que el Jaguar E era “el coche más hermoso jamás fabricado”. 5. Lamborghini Miura (1966). Yo no soy Enzo Ferrari, pero como sobre gustos no hay nada escrito, me atrevo a contradecirle: Para mí el deportivo más bonito de la historia es el Miura, considerado además como el primer superdeportivo de la historia… y el segundo modelo lanzado por la marca. 6. Lancia Stratos (1973). ¡Otro diseño del Gandini! ¡Qué grande! En Rallyes, su dominio fue aplastante y se fabricaron solo 492 unidades… muchas de ellas acabaron su vida destruida en algún rallye. 7. Lotus Super Seven (1957). El Seven y Super Seven los los Lotus que mejor se adecuan a la filosofía de su creador Colin Chapman cuando decía aquello de “prefiero que me quites un kilo a que me des un caballo”. 8. McLaren F1 (1992). Lo que hace que este coche esté en esta lista es de algún modo lo mismo que al F40: Era un coche de competición que se podía matricular y circular por la calle. Se dice que a Gordon Murray se le ocurrió la idea esperando en un avión y luego pensó… “¿por qué no?”. 9. Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (1954). ¡Solo por las puertas merece estar aquí! Y eso que estas puertas que le dieron el nombre de “Gullwing” o “Alas de gaviota” se hicieron así por pura serendipia… 10. Porsche 911 (1964). No soy especialmente fan del 911 pero… ¡cómo no iba a estar aquí el deportivo por excelencia! Lo tiene todo, una historia bonita, éxito en competición, versiones muy especiales como el primer turbo y, sobre todo, se sigue fabricando en la actualidad, muy evolucionado, pero conservando el rasgo del motor posterior. Conclusión. No están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están. Y hay otra conclusión: Realmente, este podcast necesita una segunda parte… ¿no os parece?
Michael Mann's long-awaited passion project, the biopic of Enzo Ferrari, was a complete flop. A year on, does it deserve more love? Or was its failure deserved?

Il Drake, come lo ha ribattezzato la stampa britannica rivedendo in lui l'audacia del famoso corsaro, ha vissuto gioie e lutti, soddisfazioni e momenti critici. In novant'anni di esistenza ha creato automobili vincenti e da sogno, ha lanciato futuri campioni, ha dovuto affrontare crisi personali ed imprenditoriali. Alla sua morte ha lasciato un brand famoso in tutto il mondo, un logo unico e il desiderio per ogni uomo di poter guidare almeno per un giorno un'auto col Cavallino Rampante.

Both companies specialized in relentless, obsessive refinement of their technologies. Both were established close to great research universities to attract talent. Both fetishized superior, elegant, covetable product design. And both companies exploded in size and wealth under an in-house visionary-godhead-inventor-genius. At Apple, that man was Steve Jobs. At Polaroid, the genius was Edwin Land. Just as Apple stories almost all lead back to Jobs, Polaroid lore always seems to focus on Land.— Both men were college dropouts; both became as rich as anyone could ever wish to be; and both insisted that their inventions would change the fundamental nature of human interaction.— Jobs expressed his deep admiration for Edwin Land.

His ideas were very challenging. He said then, "A ballet dancer needs a mirror to perfect her style, her technique.— Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony by Akio Morita.— Another parallel to Jobs: Don't kid yourself. Polaroid is a one man company.— He argued there was no reason that well-designed, wellmade computers couldn't command the same market share and margins as a luxury automobile.A BMW might get you to where you are going in the same way as a Chevy that costs half the price, but there will always be those who will pay for the better ride in the sexier car. Rather than competing with commodity PC makers like Dell, Compaq and Gateway, why not make only first-class products with high margins so that Apple could continue to develop even better first-class products?The company could make much bigger profits from selling a $3,000 machine rather than a $500 machine, even if they sold fewer of them.Why not, then, just concentrate on making the best $3,000 machines around? — Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products by Leander Kahney.— How To Turn Down A Billion Dollars: The Snapchat Story by Billy Gallagher — Books on Enzo FerrariGo Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J.

Listen to how Edwin Land describes his product:We would not have known and have only just learned that a new kind of relationship between people in groups is brought into being by SX-70 when the members of a group are photographing and being photographed and sharing the photographs: it turns out that buried within us—there is latent interest in each other; there is tenderness, curiosity, excitement, affection, companionability and humor; it turns out, in this cold world where man grows distant from man,and even lovers can reach each other only briefly, that we have a yen for and a primordial competence for a quiet good-humored delight in each other:we have a prehistoric tribal competence for a non-physical, non-emotional, non-sexual satisfaction in being partners in the lonely exploration of a once empty planet.— “Over the very long term, history shows that the chances of any business surviving in a manner agreeable to a company's owners are slim at best.” —Charlie Munger----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

This week's guest is David Senra, ex-founder and host of Founders podcast – one of my favourite podcasts where each week, David devours a biography of a founder and shares his favourite lessons with the world, whether it's Charlie Munger, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Kobe Bryant, The Wright Brothers, Lucille Ball, Jay Z, Enzo Ferrari and many more!But David has a really interesting story himself and one we dive into today. We talk about his tough childhood and how his escape came through his obsession with books because it was within those pages where he found the role models he wanted and needed to inspire him on his way.We also discuss some key themes between the founders and innovators whose stories David has shared in over 300 episodes now from a self-styled delusion which helps them to ignore the naysayers and dream the impossible to the obsession which comes with a laser focus on what matters.There are lots of great stories and anecdotes as you can imagine from David but there are also some great lessons that he has learned about success on his personal journey and why he wants to build something he's younger self would be proud of.Here is my conversation with David Senra.Enjoy!This episode was originally released April 2023 - S9:E73David's podcast Founders podcast / Twitter / Instagram Danielle Twitter / Instagram / Substack Newsletter / YouTubeAll my podcast episodes are edited with Descript - try it for FREE hereMentioned in this episode:Tim Urban post that David mentions in this episode Taming the Mammoth: Why You Should Stop Caring What Other People ThinkMy episode with Jimmy Soni here

Guest: Mark Fields, former president & CEO of Ford Motor Company and chairperson at PlanviewIn 2005, Mark Fields was asked to run the Americas for the Ford Motor Company, a role he would serve in for 7 years, later becoming COO and then CEO. His wife and kids were used to relocating for Mark's job, but had just put down roots in Florida. He told them that this time, they should stay put — he would commute between Florida and Detroit every week, and call home for an hour every night. “I probably communicated more with [my wife] because we were apart, than if I was there,” Mark says. “Because if I was there, I'd come home for dinner, we'd spend a little bit of time together, I'd grunt at her, and then I'd go back to my emails, and ignore the kids. Whereas, by being away, I actually had really focused time every day to talk.”Chapters:(01:01) - The auto business in ‘89 (05:27) - The business now (08:47) - Ford vs. Trump (11:44) - Becoming a leader (17:35) - The next chapter (20:01) - Relocating the family (24:45) - Bring the kids to work (29:19) - “You have one life” (33:52) - Ego and purpose (42:06) - Retirement adrenaline (45:10) - Leading with passion (48:06) - Avoiding bankruptcy (52:55) - Grading Mark's CEO years (55:12) - The board (58:32) - Electric vehicles (01:04:50) - 24 Hours of Le Mans (01:11:36) - Selling a $580,000 car Mentioned in this episode: Harvard Business School, Ronald Reagan, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, CNBC, Volkswagen, American Icon, Donald Trump, Rutgers University, Mazda, Hertz, the Range Rover, Michigan University and Michigan Stadium, Mamoon Hamid, work/life balance, Mark McLaughlin and Palo Alto Networks, the Great Recession, GM, Chrysler, the North American International Auto Show, Bill Ford, Argo AI, Chariot, autonomous vehicles, Ford v Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari, the Ford GT, Jaguar Racing, and De Beers.Links:Connect with MarkLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm
This week, the guys do a deep dive into one of the oldest Italian marques still in business. How did they become so dominant in racing?

Hacemos este podcast gracias a la colaboración de la revista CEROaCIEN que, cómo os digo siempre, es el sueño de cualquier periodista y de cualquier aficionado: Información fiable, de calidad y no siempre conocida. En esta ocasión dedican ¡¡80 paginas!!! a esta historia, incluso detalles muy poco conocidos… Para mi CEROaCIEN es una revista imprescindible para el buen aficionado. Todo esto lo puedes encontrar en el texto descriptivo… ¡y no olvides que de regalos hay láminas y adhesivos! Tenía ganas de hacer un monográfico del Lancia Stratos y de repente me llega por correo, el número 15 de mi revista favorita con el Stratos en portada. Os vuelvo a recordar que CEROaCIEN solo se vende online y que si eres garajista tienes un descuento usando el código GH5… Os preguntareis, ¿Cómo puede ser el Lancia Stratos, presentado en 1973, el primer Gr. B, un reglamento que apareció en 1982?” Cierto. Hasta la llegada del Gr.B los coches de rallye eran coches “de calle” preparados para correr, mientras los Gr.B eran coches nacidos para la competición… el Stratos se adelantó a todos, era un coche de calle, pero nacido para la competición. Vale la pena repasar su historia y sus curiosidades… ¡que son muchas! Y es que el Stratos, en realidad los Stratos, porque son dos, tienen una historia apasionante y llena de curiosidades. Y vamos por el principio… por mí principio. Siempre digo, mantengo y demuestro que la realidad supera a la ficción. Cesare Fiorio, quién acabaría siendo director deportivo de Ferrari, ocupaba ese mismo cargo en Lancia. Con el pequeño Fulvia de tracción delantera y curioso motor V4 habían conseguido buenos resultados en rallyes, pero la llegada de los Alpine A110, Ford Escort, con motores de hasta 1.800 cm3 y sobre todo Porsche, con su potentes 911, le estaba complicando la vida a Lancia. Además, en un mal momento, justo cuando Lancia, ya dentro del grupo Fiat que la había adquirido en 1969, más necesitaba reivindicarse y hacerse notar… Bertone, estaba falto de trabajo. Era consciente que tenía en sus filas si no el mejor uno de los mejores diseñadores del momento y de la historia: Marcello Gandini. Bertone quería mantener a Lancia como cliente, que lo estaba perdiendo a manos de Pininfarina y Zagato. Además, intuía que el Fulvia, modelo clave para la marca, estaba al final de su carrera y decidió hacer un prototipo espectacular que atrajese la mirada de todos los aficionados y profesionales… y sobre todo la de los responsables de Lancia. La idea era crear un modelo que fuese algo insólito, único, espectacular e innovador… justo lo que Marcello Gandini sabía hacer. La semilla del Lancia Stratos estaba sembrada. No fue fácil, como querían sorprender a Lancia no contaron con ellos, compraron un siniestro de Fulvia para aprovechar la parte mecánica y la suspensión trasera, porque una de las condiciones que había puesto el jefe, Bertone, es que tenía que ser un prototipo real, funcional, que se pudiese conducir. Nos vamos al 28 de octubre de 1970 cuando se inaugura la Feria del automóvil de Turín. Fiorio va paseando y al llegar al stand de Bertone se queda petrificado: Vio un coche que podía haber salido, perfectamente, de una nave espacial. Fiorio se enamoró del coche y, sobre todo, se enamoró de la audacia de ese planteamiento y pensó que esa audacia, ese planteamiento novedoso, ese romper con las reglas era lo que necesitaba para su nuevo coche de rallyes.Esa noche no durmió y se le ocurrió la idea que es clave en el Stratos: ¿Y si en vez de esperar a que Lancia lance un nuevo modelo y prepararlo, no lanzamos un modelo pensando en la competición?” Consiguieron una cita en la sede de Lancia a la que, para dar un golpe de efecto, acudió en el Stratos Zero… la gente que lo veían pasar por las calles de Turín se quedaban paralizados… Uno de los momentos cumbre es cuando el vigilante que había en la barrera les dijo que podían pasar y pasaron con el Lancia Stratos… antes de que subiesen la barrera. Este prototipo, con sus 84 cm de altura, pasaba por debajo. ¡Lo que te podrías ahorrar en peajes! El genio de Gandini se pone en marcha para crear probablemente el coche de rallyes más icónico de la historia y que fue en su momento casi invencible…Pero esta historia os la voy a contar de curiosidad en curiosidad. Sin motor. Algo muy sorprendente del Stratos es que Marcello comenzó a diseñarlo con muy pocas instrucciones, básicamente que tenía que ser un coche ligero y ganador… ¿y que motor le ponemos? La solución Dino. Costó, pero al final convencieron a la Ferrari para que cediese el excelente V6 “DINO” para motorizar el definitivo Stratos HF. Diseñado… en vacaciones. El objetivo era presentar el Stratos HF en el Salón del automóvil de 1971… y al llegar el verano de ese año empezaba a masticarse la tensión: No iban a llegar. Las vacaciones de agosto de 1971 fueron todo menos vacaciones Gandini que trabajó a contrarreloj ese mes de agosto con sus mejores modelistas: Di Camillo, Bottalico y Gasparro. Un apretón de manos. Ugo Gobatto y Cesare Fiorio llegaron a Maranello para reunirse con Enzo Ferrari. Pero llegaron en buen momento. Un simple apretón de manos entre Ugo y Enzo sirvió como el mejor de los contratos. “Hay que hacer 500”. Para poder homologar un coche debían fabricarse 500 ejemplares… pero no era fácil fabricar 500 Stratos en poco tiempo. Stratos y Miura, hermanos. Gran parte de la responsabilidad de lo bien que iba el Stratos como coche de competición recae en el genial Gian Paolo Dallara… seguro que este nombre os suena y es que este ingeniero de formación aeronáutica había trabajado con éxito en toro proyecto de éxito: El Lamborghini Miura. Hubo versión turbo. Muy pocos se acuerdan de la versión “Turbo”, que la hubo. Al final de su vida en los Rallyes se diseñó una versión para circuitos a la que se le instaló un turbo… bueno, y se aumentó la distancia entre ejes hasta los 2,29 m para que fuese más fácil domar a la “bestia” … que llegó a dar 550 CV. Nacido para la competición. La primera vez que te subes a un Stratos piensas… “pero ¡qué es esto!” Es pequeño, muy claustrofóbico, con una visibilidad hacia atrás nula, el ruido del motor perforando tus tímpanos, con una dirección directísima, muy incómodo y tremendamente nervioso. Como deportivo de calle el Stratos HF es uno de los coches más incomodos y delicados de conducir que he probado jamás… y uno de los mas gratificantes.

In this conversation, Jason and Mindy discuss various topics including driving habits, the health benefits of cycling, and famous brands that used to sell something else. They also share some music news and talk about their plans for the summer. The conversation ends with a quote about procrastination.https://www.youtube.com/@lowtreestudioshttps://www.lowtreestudios.com/After passing their driving test, it takes someone just ten weeks to become a bad driver. A study of 2,000 car owners found the average new road user lets bad habits creep in less than three months after getting their driver's license. The two things we do almost immediately are not holding the steering wheel in the correct position and failing to check our mirrors every time we make a lane change. Only 40 percent of women and 32 percent of men believe they have bad driving habits.New research out of Scotland says that cyclists have a 47% lower risk of early death and a 10% lower risk of hospitalization for any reason, than commuters who drive or take the train. The study followed more than 82,000 UK residents over 18 years, who ranged in age from 16-74 at the beginning. Commuting by bike was associated with a 51% lower risk of dying from cancer, a 24% lower risk of hospitalization for heart disease and a 20% lower risk of being prescribed drugs for mental health problems. - Bruce Springsteen – is officially a billionaire. According to a “conservative” estimate by Forbes, his net worth is $1.1 billion. In 2021, he sold his music catalog for an estimated $500-$550 million, the biggest transaction ever for a single artist's body of work. - Prince's planned Netflix biopic is on hold because his estate has a problem with its 9-hour length, according to a report. The 2018 deal for the doc called for a 6-hour series, but director Ezra Edelman's final cut currently runs 3 hours longer, which the estate says violates their agreement.➢ Lamborghini Started Out Making Tractors: At some point, a beef with Enzo Ferrari led to the company making sports cars, but it still makes tractors to this day.➢ Shell used to literally sell shells: In the 1800s, antique dealer Marcus Samuel expanded his business by selling exotic seashells. This required a large import/export infrastructure. When he died, his sons took over and developed an interest in importing and exporting oil.➢ Avon used to sell books: In the 1800s, founder David McConnell was a door-to-door book salesman. To get his foot in the door, he offered women a free vial of perfume that he made himself. It turned out that his perfume was much more popular than the books…➢ Mazda made corks: The company was founded in 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co in Japan. After about a decade, the company did a complete 180 and got into manufacturing vehicles.➢ Samsung was basically a general store: Founded as Samsung Sanghoe in 1938, it sold dried fish, noodles and other groceries. By the 1950s, the company was branching out into insurance, construction, and even a theme park. But electronics turned out to be their big money maker.➢ Taco Bell was originally a hot dog stand: In 1948, Glen Bell ran Bell's Drive-In, selling hot dogs and burgers. But he noticed the popularity of the café across the street, which sold tacos. He got friendly with staff there, learned their recipes, and opened his first taco stand in 1951.➢ Play Doh Started as Wallpaper Cleaner: The company was a struggling soap manufacturer that started making wallpaper cleaner, at a time when coal soot was an issue inside people's homes. A relative of one of the owners had a daycare and gave some of the wallpaper cleaner to the kids to play with — and they loved it. The formula was adjusted by adding color and a scent — and Play Doh was born.➢ Louis Vuitton was a Box Maker: 13-year-old Louis worked as a packer, making fancy...

¡No os prometo que este sea el mejor podcast de la historia de Garaje Hermético! Pero sí puede que sea el que más vas a disfrutar con la vista, porque te traemos coches muy bonitos, realmente bellos. No serán los mejores descapotables ni los más rápidos ni los más sofisticados, pero sí aquellos que han hecho historia. ¡Estamos en verano! Y me apetecía hablar de descapotables. Porque son coches que siempre me han gustado, pero desde un tiempo a esta parte no es que me gusten… en que me apasionan…Me compré mi primer descapotable más o menos en 2012, un Mazda MX5 NC de techo duro. Y al poco tiempo decidí que mi coche digamos “principal” seria siempre un descapotable. Uso mi coche más veces descapotado que con techo. Basta que no llueva y que la temperatura sea de 12 o 14 grados para que me ponga un chaleco de plumas, una gorra, conecte la calefacción … ¡y a disfrutar! No soy el único, porque los descapotables son cautivadores… y si no, juzgad vosotros mismos. 1. BMW 328 (1936). El más antiguo. De BMW había mucho donde escoger, pero he elegido este 328 no por ser el más antiguo, sino porque creo que representa los valores de BMW mejor que ninguno, esos valores de calidad, deportividad y agrado de conducción. Confieso que la marca BMW me gusta… desde luego no todos sus modelos. Si llevan una X por ahí, me salen sarpullidos. 2. Morgan Plus (1950). Eterno. Un coche eterno porque nació en 1950 pero con algunos paréntesis, diversos cambios de propietarios, un sinfín de motores… sigue fabricándose hoy día casi igual a como se hacía en 1950. Y no, no lleva chasis de madera como he leído y oído por ahí sino un robusto chasis de largueros de acero. Lo que sucede es que la carrocería de paneles de aluminio o acero, según años y versiones, se sustenta en una estructura de madera fresno, bien tratada, ligera y casi eterna. 3. Renault Floride (1958). Un Dauphine de diseño italiano. Renault veía como marcas de otros países triunfaban en todo el mundo, y sobre todo en los USA, con pequeños descapotables bonitos, divertidos y asequibles. Así que utilizó el mismo sistema: Partir de un coche popular, el Dauphine, también conocido según mercados y modelos como Ondine o Gordini y ponerle una carrocería atractiva. 4. Jaguar E (1961). El más bonito. Lo hemos dicho muchas veces en este canal, si nada menos que Enzo Ferrari dijo que este coche “era el automóvil más hermoso del Mundo” no sé qué vamos a añadir nosotros, pobres mortales en comparación con “Il Commendatore”. 5. Triumph Spitfire (1962). Hecho de “retales”. Como en otros modelos de este vídeo, realmente se trata de una saga. Pero el primero aparece en el Salón de Londres de 1962 y, para ser la suma de unos cuantos “retales” tomados de un lado y otro, no podía ser más bonito ni más interesante. 6. Mercedes SL “Pagoda” (1963). Mi Mercedes favorito. ¡No os podréis quejar! Os prometí una lista de coche muy bonitos y estoy cumpliendo. Y este SL aparecido en 1963 y apodado “Pagoda” en muchos mercados por la forma de su techo duro, es de los más bonitos. 7. Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” (1966). Otro acierto de Pininfarina. La historia de este coche es curiosa y sorprendente. Porque cuando Alfa Romeo decide hacer un Spider piensa en Bertone, que en esos años era lo mismo que decir Giorgetto Giugiaro. Pero por una parte el diseño no convenció, pero sobre todo peso el hecho de que Alfa Romeo quería el diseño y la producción y Bertone estaba saturada con la fabricación del Fiat 850 Spider. 8. Fiat 124 Sport Spider (1966). Doble vida. Viendo este diseño de Pininfarina en colaboración con Tom Tjaarda, entonces jefe de estilo de Fiat, cuesta creer que debajo de ese bonito Spider hay uno de nuestros 124… solo que en España sí se fabricó, pocas unidades, el 850 Spider con marca Seat, pero nunca el 124… ¡qué pena! 9. MG Midget MKIII (1966). El coche de “Jane” El primer Midget nace en 1961 pero he elegido el MKIII por dos razones: Fue el primero que conocí en persona y el que realmente inició el “desembarco” de MG en los EE.UU. Como curiosidad, en su último año de vida, 1974, este modelo recibió uno paragolpes de gran tamaño para superar las normativas americanas de seguridad. Esos paragolpes recibieron el nombre de “Sabrinas” en referencia a los encantos de la actriz británica Sabrina que hizo, entre otros, el papel de Jane en la película “Tarzán” de 1966… ya sabéis que en GH somos muy cinéfilos. 10. Mazda MX5 (1989). Más de un millón. En un vídeo titulado “Descapotables que han hecho historia” no podía faltar el coche descapotable más vendido de la historia, el MX5 que sumando todas sus generaciones en el año 2016 superó la barrera del millón de coches. Conclusión. Sé que no todo el mundo puede tener un descapotable, pues es un coche absolutamente inútil… pero, si eres afortunado y puedes… no pierdas la ocasión.
In this week's episode, I rank the movies and streaming shows I saw in the first half of summer 2024. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction, Writing Updates, and Reader Question Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 210 of the Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is July 19th, 2024, and today we are discussing the movies and streaming shows I watched for the first half of summer 2024. Before that, we'll have an update on my current writing projects and then we will go into Question of the Week. So, my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Half Orc Paladin is finished at about 81,500 words. Next up, I'm writing a short story called Paladin's Hunt that newsletter subscribers will get for free in ebook form when Half Orc Paladin is out, hopefully in early August. I'm also 23,000 words into Ghosts in the Tombs. I'm not 100% decided what I'm going to write next once Half Orc Paladin is out. I have to make a decision soon obviously, but it's probably going to be either Shield of Conquest or Cloak of Illusion. In audiobook news, the audiobook Wizard-Thief, as narrated by Leanne Woodward, is almost done. It's just got to get through the various approvals at the audiobook sites, so hopefully that should be out in early August. Recording is going to start very soon on Shield of Darkness. So that's where I'm at with my current writing projects. We have a question about the Shield War series from reader EM, who writes in to ask: I was rereading Shield of Darkness and occurred to me that Connmar Pendragon would have had a much easier time finding his way to Owyllain if he had a Corsair Lord or whatever they called themselves back then, who had the Hidden Eye navigating for him. Am I right and this will be revealed in the Shield Wars series? No, Connmar did not have a Corsair or anyone with the Hidden Eye ability navigating for him, and he basically found his way to Owyllain by accident. At that time, there were people living on the Isle of Kordain, but they hadn't really coalesced around the Corsairs of the Isle of Kordain as their national identity yet. I mean the process was underway but hadn't reached the form it would by the time of the Frostborn series. And while some of them had the Hidden Eye ability, they hadn't quite fully understood what it meant yet, and they hadn't lived on the isle long enough for the mutilations from the dwarven engines to fully take hold. We'll reveal more details about that in Shield of Conquest when I write that as my next book or the book after my next book. 00:02:26 Question of the Week Now on to Question of the Week. Question of the Week is designed to inspire enjoyable discussion of interesting topics. This week's question: subscription services such as Kindle Unlimited, Spotify, Netflix, Thrive Market and Xbox Game Pass are an inevitable part of modern life. If you have a subscription service, which one is your favorite? No wrong answers and bear in mind that “subscription services all cost too much and I hit them all with the fiery consuming heat of 1,000 cores of 1,000 suns” is a perfectly acceptable answer as well. Surabhi said: Disney Plus, because Marvel movies are my therapy. Ray says: I only use Bookbub and Google Play. Justin says: I do not use subscription services. I prefer to purchase the books, games, and programs I buy outright rather than rent them. Connectivity can be a problem where I am so being able to read, work, or play without being tethered to the Internet is a good thing. That is something to keep in mind when considering a subscription service. If you have questionable Internet connectivity in your area, that may not be the best choice to sign up for a subscription service that relies on the Internet. Our next comment is from Venus, who says: I can't afford any subscriptions services, although if Barnes and Noble did one for ebooks, I'd consider working something out. I refuse to support Amazon and don't like the fact that apparently books on Kindle Unlimited can't be anywhere else. That is indeed one of the annoying features of the Kindle Unlimited program, which is why only four of my 153 novels are currently on Kindle Unlimited. Barbara says: my husband and daughter subscribe to some streaming services, but I'm not sure which ones. I don't subscribe to any. I don't watch television. I already own the games I play and I purchased my digital books so I don't have to give them back. John says: I think I get by far the most bang for the buck from Amazon Prime, but my favorite subscription service is probably my local weekly seafood delivery service, Sea Forager. Bonnie says: I gave up the ones I had because I don't watch TV anymore and can't afford it. I have Prime, but only really use it for ebooks. If I need background noise, I use local radio. Local radio remains free, so I suppose that is the most cost effective of all the subscription services. Juana says: Kindle seems to have the most content and good price. I looked at the other platforms, too. Becca says: I have Prime and agree it has a ton of benefits. I canceled Netflix because it doesn't work on my TV. Hulu has some great shows (I recommend Crazy Fun Park, an Australian teen show about ghosts and friendships and changes. Surprisingly mature and well-acted). William says: given the sheer quantity of great Star Wars series that Disney produces, theirs is hard to beat. Gary says: Spotify. David says: for value, you can't beat Prime: movies, free shipping, and music. Netflix is very good for original content and Hulu for old stuff. And Joseph says: I also have Prime mostly for the free shipping. Everything else there is just a bonus. I also have Kindle Unlimited. Totally worth it for me as I read daily and read two or three hundred books a year. That is down from 400 to 500 the first couple years of retirement. It is diverse enough that I can always find a good read. For myself, the one I enjoy most is Nintendo Switch Online. I'll pay for a month of Netflix when they have something I want to see and then we'll cancel again after I've seen it. I used to have Xbox Game Pass, but all I ever actually play on the Xbox is Skyrim, Starfield, and the first three Halo games, so there is no point in keeping it. But Nintendo Switch Online lets you get the classic Mario and Zelda games from the NES and Super Nintendo era. Given that Nintendo's attitude towards the legacy properties tends to veer between complete indifference and wrathful litigation depending upon the month, it's good that Nintendo offers a relatively affordable way to get them legally because at my age, sometimes the best way to relax at the end of the night is to just play a few levels of the original Super Mario Brothers. So that's it for Question of the Week this week. 00:06:26 Main Topic: Summer 2024 Movie/TV Show Review And now let's move on to our main topic: 2024 Summer Movie Roundup, Part 1. Summer always has a lot of movies, so I usually split the Summer Movie Roundup post in two halves and this would be Part 1. I was surprised at the number of sports movies I watched this time, since, as I've mentioned before, I don't usually follow professional sports all that closely. That said, while the NFL and the NBA might not have quite the cultural hegemony they had at their peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, they're still hugely central to American culture. I don't think you can really understand the United States without grasping the central role of professional sports in mainstream culture. I expect there's a similar phenomenon with association football clubs in the UK and many European countries. Besides, one of the abilities of good storytelling is to make you interested in a story about a topic you might not otherwise care about, like athletic shoes. So here are the movies and shows I watched in the first half of summer 2024, ranked from worst to best. As always, the rankings are totally subjective and based on nothing but my own opinions and observations. So first up is Madam Webb, which came out in 2024. Oofffff. This wasn't quite the crime against cinema that the Internet thought it was, but it still wasn't great. Sony has the rights to a bunch of Spider-man adjacent characters, and the company is holding those in a death grip and has been trying to make a Spider-man Cinematic Universe happen for some time, with mixed results. The Tom Hardy Venom movies had been pretty good, the others, not so much. The plot of Madam Webb: cynical and jaded EMT Cassandra Webb works with her partner Ben Parker (later in the Uncle Ben of Spider-man fame) and is almost drowned in an accident. While drowned, Cassandra starts developing precognition and clairvoyant powers. She starts seeing visions of three young women who will be murdered by a powerful real estate developer named Ezekiel. Turns out that Ezekiel has Spider-man powers that also include precognition, and he wants to kill the girls before they someday kill him. The scenes where Cassandra wonders if she is going mad, but gradually starts to realize that she can see the future were actually quite good and cleverly laid out since they did in sort of a time loop where she experiences the event before it happens. That said, this movie could have been an interesting concept, but it didn't really work. For one thing, the dialogue was just clunky. Dialogue is a hard, hard art to master, both in movies and writing novels (as I know first-hand). But Madame Webb didn't get there. Many of the dialogue scenes were just wooden. Additionally, the movie felt padded and drawn out, which is interesting because the runtime was under two hours. Ultimately, I think Madam Webb succumbed to the illness of a shared cinematic universe. It felt like the incomplete prologue to a more interesting movie, and not every side character in the Spider-man mythos needs an origin story. The trick to making a shared cinematic universe is that each movie must stand alone on its own, especially in the beginning, and the stories have to be interesting. Madam Webb, alas, couldn't quite manage either. Overall grade: D- Next up is The Acolyte, a streaming series which came out in 2024. There is quite a furor about this show on social media, but you can't believe most of what you see on social media. To be blunt about it, I've come to believe that social media is designed to induce mental illness in as many of its users as possible in order to increase their time spent on the site, which in turn raises ad revenue. Very cynical. But I suspect that's the basic business model of Facebook and YouTube, which is why you see so much rage-filled clickbait on both sites, since that's what drives engagement and increases revenue, but that's a problem beyond the scope of a movie review podcast episode. Back to The Acolyte. I would say that The Acolyte wasn't the crime against cinema that YouTube thought it was but instead an uneven mixture of some strong points and some weaknesses. The plot: former Jedi Osha has left the Order and is working as a mechanic on a trade federation starship. Meanwhile, a woman who looks exactly like her has started murdering Jedi Masters. Osha is arrested for the murders, but her former teacher, Jedi master Sol, quickly figures out that the murderer is in fact Osha's twin sister Mae, who has been presumed dead for the last sixteen years. Osha reluctantly tagged along with Sol to help track down Mae, which means she needs to delve into the dark secrets of her past and discover who trained Mae to be a Jedi killing assassin. The Jedi assume a renegade member of the Order must have trained Mae because the Sith had been extinct for a long, long time. Or have they? This show did have its strong points. The lightsaber fights looked good and were fun to watch. Lee Junge-jae as Sol, Manny Jacinto as Qimir, Charlie Bennett as Yord, and Dafne Keen as Jecki all gave good performances. In particular, they stole episode 5, which was overall the strongest episode of the series. The design of the Sith Lord's helmet (dubbed Darth Teeth or Smilo Ren by the Internet) was good. The nods to the old Expanded Universe, like cortosis ore, were nice. There was enough of a compelling mystery -who is the Sith Lord and what actually happened in the twin's past- that can hook the viewer through to the end of the series. The show also did a good job of showing how complacent and political the Jedi had become, to the point where 100 years later the Jedi High Council would meet with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine every day for thirteen years and completely failed to realize that he was in fact the Sith Master who had been pulling the strings all along. That said, I think the show did have four significant problems. 1: the whole good twin/evil twin thing was kind of lame. Playing identical twins is hard for any actor, and sometimes I had a hard time keeping track of whether Osha or Mae was in a particular scene. I kind of wish the characters had been brother and sister, or at least not identical twins so they had been easier to tell apart. 2: As much as I appreciated the nods to the Expanded Universe, I think it relied too heavily on them and assumed the audience had a high level of Star Wars knowledge, like the weird Force cult where Osha and Mae grew up. In the Expanded Universe, there are all kinds of weird half-baked cults with an incomplete knowledge of the Force that run into serious problems when they encounter an actual Jedi or an actual Sith. One advantage of visual media over novels is that it's much easier to show instead of tell, but I don't think Acolyte explained its premises well. The Mandalorian explained its premises better, gradually exposing the viewer to the Mandalorian's culture as he dealt with the Monster of the Week. Mando gradually learned about the Force and the Jedi, a race of enemy sorcerers, as he tried to save The Child from the Imperial Remnant. By contrast, The Acolyte kind of dropped viewers into the middle of things, didn't bother to explain any ambiguities, and simply assumed they would all understand the references. 3: The problem with the Jedi Order is that its philosophy is essentially stupid. The reason for that is that Jedi philosophy is basically a highly watered-down version of 1970s style Hollywood Buddhism, which is itself a tremendously watered down version of actual Buddhism. The Jedi are basically left with “don't feel fear or anger” and “don't get attached to people” but lack the religious and philosophical underpinnings which would allow those concepts to make sense in actual Buddhism. In real life, eventually we learn that both suppressing anger and fear or allowing it to dominate us is unhealthy. Both anger and fear serve useful functions. Fear warns of danger and anger is a good response when one is forced into circumstances where you have no choice but to fight. Anger and fear make for good servants, but awful masters, but Jedi philosophy completely misses that point. 4th and finally: the show was the wrong genre for the kind of moral relativism it had. Moral relativism worked well in Andor, which was a spy thriller about criminals gradually realizing that they had to fight the Empire and do terrible things while doing it. That worked because Andor was a spy thriller. By contrast, The Acolyte was about Kung Fu space wizards using space magic that literally comes in good and evil flavors. Moral relativism works less well in that kind of setting where there is literally good or evil space magic. So I would say Acolyte was a mixed bag. I admit, if there's a second season, I'll watch it just because I want to see what happens, but given Disney's significant financial woes, that seems unlikely. Overall grade: C- Next up is Unfrosted, which came out in 2024. It is an absurdist comedic retelling of the creation of the Pop Tart breakfast food, told as sort of a parody of corporate biopics like Ford versus Ferrari and Air (which we will talk about later this episode). This movie was silly and kind of dumb, but it knew it was silly and kind of dumb and so leaned into it and therefore worked. Jerry Seinfeld plays Bob Cabana, a high-ranking employee of the Kellogg cereal company, which is locked in a bitter rivalry with the Post cereal company for the breakfast market. One day Cabana uncovers everyone at Post is working on something that will upend the breakfast market, a fruit filled breakfast pastry that can be toasted. Alarmed with this information, the CEO of Kellogg, Edsel Kellogg III (played by Jim Gaffigan as a sort of parody of ‘60s era U.S. business executives), launches a crash effort to match Post's effort. Cabana must recruit a heist style team to build Kellogg's breakfast pastry, including numerous obscure figures from 1960s pop culture. The race is on to build the Pop Tart. Anyway, this was an entertaining movie, but it has no connection to factual accuracy. Also, Bill Burr was hilarious as President Kennedy. Overall grade: B- Next up is The Hit Man, which came out in 2023. It is an amusing cross between a dark comedy and a sort of Hitchcockian thriller. Glenn Powell plays Gary Johnson, a mild mannered and somewhat ineffective philosophy professor. Due to his skill with electronics and microphones, he frequently helps out the police with sting operations. One day, the officer who usually goes in for sting operations gets suspended for beating up some teenagers and having it go viral on viral on YouTube. Gary is drafted at the last minute to go undercover as a hit man and get a suspect to contract his services. Gary does it so well that the Police Department uses him more and more and Gary starts disappearing into his roles as various hit men in a sequence which is quite funny. This works well until Gary meets Madison, a woman who wants him to kill her abusive husband. Gary talks her out of it and starts seeing her, a situation which quickly escalates out of control. It was interesting that the movie went through a sudden genre shift about 1/3 of the way through, from dark comedy to love story, a bit darker than I usually prefer, to be honest, but enjoyable nonetheless if you don't mind the strong language. That said, I watched this right after Madam Webb and the contrast between Webb's clunky and wooden dialogue and the much better written Hitman was night and day. What was interesting was that the movie only cost $8.8 million to make. Given the economic climate, I expect we will see more of this: movies that have to be disciplined about keeping the cost down, as opposed to the enormous 295 million budgets of something like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Overall grade: B- Next up is Boss Level, which came out in 2021. This movie is best described as Groundhog's Day but as an action movie. Former Special Forces soldier Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, is caught in a time loop that repeats the same day over and over again, which always ends with him getting killed by assassins that have been hired to hunt him down. This happened after he tried to reconnect with his former girlfriend, a scientist working on a secret project overseen by the sinister Colonel Ventor, played by Mel Gibson. For a variety of reasons, let's just say at this point in his career, Gibson is very believable in a villain role. At first, Roy succumbs to despair in the time loop, but then decides to spend the endless day trying to reconnect with his estranged son. Eventually, this causes him to rally and fight back against the loop and he realizes that his ex-girlfriend deliberately put him into the time loop because he was the only person she knew who could stop Colonel Ventor's evil plans for his project, which turns out to be a time machine. I'd say the biggest weakness of the movie is the opening, which is a sort of record scratch “you're probably wondering how I got here” opening I complained about in Episode 203 of this podcast. Also, I think it maybe should have been five to 10 minutes longer. The ending is sort of implied but it would have been far more satisfying to have actually been shown what would happen. But overall, I like this movie. Solid B-level thriller/science fiction stuff. It's interesting to compare this to Groundhog's Day because Groundhog Day had to spend so much time establishing the premise because the plot idea of a time loop wasn't as widely known back then as it is now, whereas nowadays you just say “Groundhog Day loop” and most people will immediately know what you're talking about. Overall Grade: B Next up is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which came out in 2024. This wasn't quite as good as Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but I still enjoyed it. In this one, Ian Spengler's daughter, her good-natured boyfriend, and her teenage children have returned to New York City to restart the Ghostbusters business. They were bankrolled by original Ghostbuster Winston Zeddmore, who is now a wealthy businessman funding a variety of ghostbusting projects. When one of Zeddmore's employees stumbles across a dangerous artifact holding a powerful ice ghost, both the new and original Ghostbusters must team up to save the day. I really like how the new Ghostbusters films handle the original characters. The original characters are no longer the main focus but they're now mentoring the new characters and providing advice and support. I like this a lot better than the Disney/Lucasfilm approach of the original character as being sad old losers that the new characters must rebel against and then surpass. It was also great that actor William Atherton returned as government apparatchik Walter Peck. Back in the first movie, Peck was an officious EPA inspector who accidentally released a ghost horde upon New York. In the grand American political tradition of tradition of failing upward, he is now the mayor of New York City and still hopes to disband the Ghostbusters. I think the movie's biggest weakness was that it was too complicated and there were a lot of different characters and moving parts to keep track of. Overall grade: B Next up is Inside Out 2, which came out in 2024. It is a terrifying descent into the nightmarish hellscape that has the mind of the average teenage girl. I am, of course joking (though, if you have teenagers, you know that I'm only mostly joking) but Inside Out 2 is a strong follow up to the first movie. In the first movie, the anthropomorphized representations of emotions (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust) tried to control themselves inside the mind of young girl Riley. At the start of the second movie, Riley is now 13 and doing pretty well, but then puberty kicks in. Suddenly new emotions arrive in her head: Ennui, Envy, Embarrassment, and Anxiety. Anxiety in particular runs amuck and seizes control of Riley's mind. As Anxiety starts to send Riley spiraling out of control, the other emotions have to rally behind Joy and find a way to save Riley's mind and sense of self. It is both quite funny and poignant. I can see why this movie cleared a billion dollars. As of early July 2024, is the biggest box office movie of the year so far. Overall grade: A Next up is Ford versus Ferrari, which came out in 2019. This is a biopic of the rivalry between Ford Motor Company and Ferrari in the 1960s, which is an interesting bit of history. In the ‘60s, Ford Motor Company, under the leadership of Henry Ford II (founder Henry Ford's grandson), decided it needed a cooler image, much like how Microsoft bought a bunch of indie gaming studios in the 2010s so Xbox would seem cooler. So Ford Motor Company spent years negotiating with Enzo Ferrari to buy Ferrari's company. At the last minute, negotiations collapsed and Ferrari famously went on a rant insulting Ford as an ugly company that made ugly cars and also called Ford II a lesser man compared to his famous grandfather. This was a major public failure and humiliation for Ford Motor Company, and needless to say Ford II took this very, very personally. He threw a ton of resources behind Ford's racing car project with one goal: beat Ferrari at the famous Le Mans 24 hour race. To pull this off, Ford recruited Carroll Shelby (played by Matt Damon), a former racing driver who turned to race car designing because a heart condition no longer let him race. Shelby needed a driver, so he recruited Ken Miles (played by Christian Bale), a talented driver and mechanic with a combative streak and knack for making enemies. Shelby, Miles, and their team set out to build the GT40, Ford's first proper racing car. Since this is all in the historical record, it's not a spoiler to say that they succeeded in the 1966 Le Mans race. Ford Cars finished in first, second, and third positions, locking out Ferrari entirely from the podium. This was a very enjoyable biopic. All the actors disappear into their roles and give strong performances. The racing scenes all look cool. It is also interesting from a historical perspective to see how the Ford executives had a very bad habit of acting like feudal lords who would dictate their will to the consumer rather than what they actually were, which is merchants who needed to give the customer what they wanted. This attitude was one of several reasons the US auto industry hit very hard times in the 1970s. I'd say the only thing wrong with the movie is that it feels too long, though for the life of me I'm not sure what they could have cut. Overall grade: A Next up is The Last Dance, which originally came out in 2020. I originally watched this back during peak COVID, but after watching Air (which I will discuss shortly), I decided to watch this again to refresh my memory. The Last Dance is a documentary about the Chicago Bulls NBA team and the renowned three-peat champion streak back in the 1990s. I have to admit it is an amusing feeling to have lived long enough that things I lived through are now considered history and have prestige Netflix documentaries made about them. The documentary mostly revolves around the career of Michael Jordan, though it includes interviews with many other people involved in the experience of the Bulls championship run, including brief interviews with two ex U.S. Presidents. The documentary got a lot of criticism for focusing too heavily on Jordan and portraying him in a positive light, especially from the other members of the 1990s Bulls team. Interestingly, I thought Jordan did not really come across all that great on the show. He seemed somewhat vindictive and petty and prone to holding on to grudges for decades. He was presented as the sort of man who is afflicted with an all-consuming competitive streak, who is irresistibly compelled to win at everything he does, even if it's a casual golf game between friendly acquaintances. For that matter, professional basketball players in general all tend to be highly competitive type A personalities who like to win and hate to lose. Getting them all to agree on an account of events beyond the objectively observable facts is probably impossible. Despite that, I suspect the simple fact is that the Bulls would not have won their championships without Jordan. There's no denying that Jordan was probably one of the most famous people on Earth in the 1990s. Honestly, no one can stand up to that kind of scrutiny well, especially after a personal tragedy like when Jordan's father was murdered in the mid-1990s. When Jordan talks about how winning requires complete focus and absolute dedication, I'm afraid that he's right. Winning in the competition at a level like the NBA does require 110% focus, even to the detriment of every other aspect of one's life. I've heard athletes say that champions have no balance and Jordan himself seems to be a living example of both the benefits and the extremely high personal costs of that. Amusing anecdote: when I originally watched this documentary in late 2020, I texted my brother that he should check it out because I thought he would enjoy it. His response was something along the line said he had seen when it first came out on ESPN and I really ought to engage with the culture more. Overall grade: A Now for the best movie I saw in the first half of summer 2024 and that would be Air, which came out in 2023 and is related to our sports documentary topics. This is a movie about Michael Jordan and his family negotiating deal with Nike about the Air Jordan shoe. I didn't expect to like this movie very much, but it turns out it is quite excellent. As I mentioned earlier, in full disclosure, I have minimal interest in the NBA and while I could tell you the NBA team of the US state in which I currently reside, I think if pressed, off the top of my head, I could probably tell you the name of maybe five other NBA teams. Additionally, I lived through the 1990s and had no money for all of it, and so at the time I really resented the peer pressure around Air Jordan shoes and other sports apparel, because that stuff was always so expensive. As I mentioned, I had no money. All that aside, that shows Air was a good movie because it made me care about a story involving a topic in which I have no interest and perhaps mildly dislike. Anyway, the movie's plot is set in 1984. Matt Damon (back again) plays Sonny Vaccaro, who was working with Nike's struggling basketball shoe division. At the time, Nike was the biggest maker of running shoes in the US that had only a minimal presence in the basketball shoe market. Vaccaro has the idea of building a shoe brand entirely around an upcoming young NBA rookie named Michael Jordan. At the time, this was an enormous gamble and had never been done before, but needless to say, it paid off for the company in a big, big way. All the actors gave good performances and the dialogue was sharply written, simultaneously conveying the character of the speaker and moving the plot forward. If you want to learn how to write good dialogue, you could do much worse than to watch Air. I recommend this movie, even if like me, you have zero interest in sports apparel. Perhaps that is one of the functions of art, to give you glimpses of worlds into which you would otherwise never visit. Overall grade: A+ So that is it for this week.
