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.

Hemos hecho varios podcast en los que hablamos de la apasionante historia de un coche extraordinario: El Ford GT40. Pero sí crees que lo hemos contado todo… es que no conoces la revista CEROaCIEN. Tras leer el extenso artículo dedicado al GT40 me pareció que este video era, sencillamente, IMPRESCINDIBLE. Además hay “Bonus-track” y sorpresa en el “Coche del día”. Confieso que me he divertido elaborando este guion como pocas veces lo hago. Y confieso que me ha costado quedarme en 10+1 curiosidades de este coche, algunas de las cuales, estoy seguro, te van a sorprender. Me gustan tanto que las tengo enmarcadas a la entrada de mi casa. Aunque tengo un problema: O amplio o cambio una, porque el Ford GT40 número 1 de esta entrega es bonito a rabiar… ya lo estáis viendo. Ford vs. Ferrari. Esta historia ya la conocéis y si no hay varios vídeos nuestros que la cuenta y tenéis la película “Contra lo imposible”, muy recomendable. Pero, por si hay “rezagados”, la voy a recordar en breve. Ford quería hacer coches deportivos pero vieron lo que tenían y pensaron que era mejor comprar una marca que ya hiciese coches deportivos que diseñarlos ellos mismos. Ferrari atravesaba un delicado momento económico y las piezas parecían encajar: Enzo se mostró interesado y comenzaron unas negociaciones que avanzaron rápido, porque todos sabemos que a Ferrari lo que le gustaban eran las carreras… bueno, más bien ganar carreras. Fue por esto que ahora lo contaremos, por lo que el acuerdo no se cerró. Y lo que pasó en esas negociaciones enfureció a Henry Ford II, nieto de Ford, que clamó venganza: Vencer a Ferrari en “su” casa, que eran las 24 horas de Le Mans. Desde 1960 Ferrari ganó 6 veces consecutivas Le Mans…y Ford quería acabar con esto… y lo consiguió. Esta historia la conoces, pero a ver si conoces lo que te vamos a contar. 1. Edsel, la semilla de GT40. El hijo de Henry Ford, del primigenio, se llamaba Edsel. Y “papá” más o menos dejó que su hijo diseñase un coche. Es una licencia narrativa, no fue exactamente así, pero el Edsel era una especie de homenaje a su hijo… y fue un rotundo fracaso. ¿Era o porque el coche era malo? La verdad, sí, pero no solo eso. En 1962 la economía de los EE.UU. de Norteamérica iba viento en popa. Los hijos del llamado “Baby Boom” fruto del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial eran mayorcitos y tenían dinero. Por primera vez era más importante el público joven que apreciaba el dinamismo, la deportividad y el rendimiento de los coches, que el público madura, que buscaba comodidad y fiabilidad, las dos virtudes claves de Ford. Y para salir de esta crisis decidieron que Ford necesitaba modelos deportivos… fruto de esta decisión nace primero el Ford Mustang y luego el GT40. 2. “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. Cuando Enzo Ferrari se dio cuenta de que Ford quería contralarlo todo, incluidas las carreras, se enfureció. Dijo que jamás vendería se empresa a una marca que “hace coches tan feos en una fábrica tan fea”. Y como colofón le envió un “mensajito” a Henry Ford II: “No puedes compararte con tu abuelo”. En ese momento un tema empresarial pasó a ser un tema personal. 3. Lola, la base. La marca Lola, de pequeño me encantaba porque me hacía gracia que una marca americana se llamase como la cantante más popular de España en esa época, Lola Flores (¡pon foto!). Pero Eric Broadley era bueno haciendo coches de carreras y diseñó el MK6, un diseño brillante, con potencial, pero en un equipo sin recursos. Ford tenía el problema opuesto: Tenía recursos, pero no tenía un buen diseño. Así que Ford se hizo cargo de este modelo, que acabó siendo la base del GT40. 4. ¡Con aire acondicionado! No olvidemos que el objetivo eran las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Y el cansancio del piloto podía influir mucho. Lo cierto es que el Lola era bueno como coche de carreras y muy bueno como sauna… ¡Era un horno! Y ¿Cómo lo solucionarlo? Pues con unas tomas de aire que desde el frontal del coche llevaba aire a los asientos, un aire que salía por los agujeros de la tapicería… muy ingenioso. Pero no fue la única idea ingeniosa… 5. Asiento fijo. Para reforzar el chasis decidieron que los asientos fueran fijos y formasen parte del chasis… . Y seguro que alguien dijo: “bien, buena idea, chicos, pero ¿y si un piloto es más bajito que otro? Pues en vez de mover el asiento, se movían los pedales y el volante adelante y hacia atrás. Otra idea ingeniosa. 6. Sin pruebas previas. La aventura de fabricar el GT40 arranca en 1963 y el 1 de abril de 1964 se acaba el primer prototipo. Diez días después el segundo. Y sin test previos de ningún tipo, porque había prisas, decidieron irse a Le Mans. ¿El resultado? Un accidente a 240 km/h en la recta de la Mulsanne y otro accidente menos grave. No hicieron caso de lo que decía mi madre “vísteme despacio que tengo prisa”. 7. Siete de siete. Tras revisar el coche de arriba abajo, decidieron volver a la acción en 1964 cuando el coche se mostró rápido… y muy frágil. Participaron con al menos dos coches en 7 carreras y rompieron… en las 7 carreras… El señor Henry Ford II se impacientaba. Por eso recurrieron a Carrol Shelby. 8. GT 40 descapotable. Descapotable… y diseño McLaren. Uno de los problemas del GT40 era su peso. El coche se diseñó desde el principio para ser robusto y fiable y en esa línea el chasis de tubos de acero estaba reforzado con planchas de acero. Todo muy rígido… y muy pesado. Howden Ganley, ingeniero de McLaren, desarrolló un chasis de aluminio que aligeraba considerablemente el peso del coche. Para decepción de McLaren este modelo sin techo fue entregado a “Shelby American” que condenó al modelo a coche de pruebas. 9. Comité Le Mans. Este es muy americano: Si quieres hacer algo en una empresa americana, lo primero es que hagas un comité. Y eso es lo que hizo Ford, crear el “Comité Le Mans” con representantes de todas las divisiones de Ford involucradas, desde “motor y fundición” a “Estilismo e ingeniería” sin olvidar “Piezas Generales” o “Motorsport”. A este comité se incorporó, como no podía ser de otra manera, a Shelby American y el equipo NASCAR de Ford, “Holman & Moody”. 10. Lamentable montaje. Esto que os voy a contar reconozco que no lo sabía. Cuando los Ford GT40 llegaron a las instalaciones de “Shelby American” los probaron y les pareció que iban horriblemente mal. El propio Ken Milles, el “prota” de la “peli” Contra lo imposible, estaba sorprendido: No entendía porque un diseño que parecía bueno iba tan mal.

Gary and Peter take a look back at thier trip to the 100th anniversary of the LeMans Classic event in 2023. The Legendary Motorcar team took the 1964 prototype GT40 to the historic event. They talk about the race format, how difficult it was to drive during the night stints and the massive event that this was with hundreds of thousands of spectators there to watch cars that have raced in the LeMans 24 hours of the past 100 years. Big thanks to  @peterautoracing  for capturing the event and all the staff at Le Mans Classic for putting on such a great show. Can't wait to get back.

Las 24h de Le Mans de 1965: la Penúltima victoria de FerrariLas 24h de Le Mans son una de las carreras más prestigiosas y exigentes del mundo del automovilismo. Cada año, decenas de pilotos y equipos se enfrentan en el circuito de la Sarthe, en Francia, para completar el mayor número de vueltas posibles en un día y una noche. La edición de 1965 fue especialmente memorable, ya que supuso la última victoria de Ferrari en esta prueba hasta la fecha.El desafío de FordFerrari dominaba las carreras de resistencia desde hacía años, gracias a sus potentes y fiables modelos. Sin embargo, en 1965 se encontró con un rival muy serio: Ford. La marca estadounidense había desarrollado una versión mejorada de su GT, un coche diseñado específicamente para batir a Ferrari en Le Mans. Ford contaba con 11 coches o coches con motor Ford en la parrilla, entre ellos el famoso Shelby Cobra Daytona, conducido por Jack Sears y Dick Thompson.Ford empezó la carrera con mucha fuerza, marcando el mejor tiempo en la clasificación y liderando las primeras horas. Sin embargo, poco a poco los problemas mecánicos fueron mermando sus opciones. El primer golpe llegó cuando el GT40 de Ken Miles y Bruce McLaren se incendió en boxes. Luego, el Cobra Daytona de Sears y Thompson sufrió una avería en el embrague que le hizo perder muchas vueltas. Finalmente, el GT40 de Phil Hill y Chris Amon se retiró por una rotura del motor cuando iba en segunda posición.La resistencia de FerrariFrente al ataque de Ford, Ferrari respondió con una estrategia basada en la resistencia y la regularidad. La marca italiana contaba con 12 coches en la carrera, entre ellos el nuevo P2, diseñado por Mauro Forghieri. El P2 tenía un motor V12 de 4 litros y 410 caballos de potencia, y se presentaba como el favorito para la victoria.Sin embargo, Ferrari también tuvo que hacer frente a varios contratiempos. El P2 de John Surtees y Ludovico Scarfiotti sufrió un accidente cuando iba en cabeza, al chocar con un Alpine-Renault más lento. El P2 de Mike Parkes y Jean Guichet se quedó sin gasolina por un error del equipo. El P2 cerrado de Lorenzo Bandini y Giampiero Biscaldi tuvo problemas eléctricos que le hicieron perder tiempo.Al final, la victoria fue para el Ferrari 250 LM de Masten Gregory y Jochen Rindt, del equipo North American Racing Team (NART). Este coche era un modelo anterior al P2, con un motor V12 de 3.3 litros y 320 caballos de potencia. Gregory y Rindt supieron aprovechar su fiabilidad y su menor consumo para completar 348 vueltas al circuito, cinco más que el segundo clasificado, otro Ferrari 250 LM del equipo Ecurie Georges Marquet.Un hito históricoLa victoria de Gregory y Rindt fue la sexta consecutiva de Ferrari en Le Mans, un récord que solo ha sido igualado por Porsche entre 1981 y 1987. Sin embargo, también fue la última victoria de Ferrari en esta carrera hasta la fecha. A partir de entonces, Ford tomó el relevo con sus legendarios GT40, que ganaron cuatro veces seguidas entre 1966 y 1969.La edición de 1965 también fue la primera victoria internacional para los neumáticos Goodyear, que equipaban al Ferrari ganador. Además, fue la primera vez que un coche con motor trasero ganaba Le Mans, iniciando una tendencia que se mantendría hasta nuestros días.Si quieres saber más sobre esta apasionante carrera, te invitamos a escuchar nuestro podcast, donde te contamos todos los detalles y anécdotas de las 24h de Le Mans de 1965. Y si necesitas un disco duro para guardar tus archivos, no dudes en visitar la web de nuestro patrocinador www.discoduros.net, donde encontrarás las mejores ofertas y la mejor calidad.ContactoTwitter @historacingemail: historacingpodcast@gmail.comCanal de Telegram: Es privado...  pide invitación, en telegram uy ultrafotoCarlos; @fotocarloscast ( mi perfil personal de twitterNuestro Feed. http://feeds.feedburner.com/HistoracingEstamos en Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/236uEP7hZdSirmS8vVKHTeTambién en Tunein. https://tunein.com/podcasts/Automotive/Historacing-p1175114/?lang=es-ESNuestro nuevo enlace a Amazon https://amzn.to/3SzCKJ2Paypal:  Si quieres donar este es el link https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ultrafoto

Paul Cooke, Canadian motorsports hall of famer, gives a detailed history on Canada's most signifigant race team, Comstock racing. The team was a Ford factory supported through the 1960, racing Shelby Cobra's, GT40s and Mustangs. Paul was witness more Canadian motorsports history than almost anyone, The director of Karting for ASN FIA was the team manager for George Eaton's Can-Am team, and other's Formula Atlantic and Formula One Campaigns. Paul is the Clerk of the Course for Formula One in Montreal. Paul recounts the GT40 crash at the 12 hours of Sebring that lead to the missing GT40.

El concepto de coche deportivo es muy diferente a uno y otro lado del Atlántico. Sin duda para los norteamericanos los pequeños y ligeros deportivos europeos tienen su encanto. Pero para los europeos los grandes y brutales deportivos americanos nos seducen… he elegido los que son, para mí, los 10 mejores. Planeta deAgostini lanza un coleccionable del Ford Mustang Shelby GT500? Pocos coches hay tan icónicos como éste. Puedes acceder a toda la info en este link: https://bit.ly/ShelbyGarajeHermetico ¡Y no te olvides de poner en el código GARAJEHERMETICO! Se trata de una maqueta muy grande, en una escala inédita, 1/6, de casi 80 cm de largo y con sonido, luces, metálica, completamente detallada, con puertas y capos con mecanismos de apertura, con dirección y hasta ¡con mando a distancia! Los primeros 1.000 suscriptores tiene premio: Una miniatura en metal a escala 1/24, una escala que, gracias a su tamaño de 20 cm, permite muchos más detalles que las miniaturas de escalas más reducidas. Vas a disfrutar montando esta maqueta, viendo el resultado final, pero con la obra editorial que acompaña a la colección, que te va a contar toda la historia y características de este modelo único. Y si piensas que no eres precisamente un “manitas” estate tranquilo, con las instrucciones de montaje, detalladas con fotografías y paso a paso, no tendrás problemas… Los deportivos norteamericanos son distintos porque el automóvil allí se ve con otros ojos. Bueno, el automóvil y todo, porque la frase “más es mejor” o “más grande es mejor” se aplica a muchas cosas: edificios, hamburguesas, ciudades… y coches. ¡Pragmáticos! Los norteamericanos son, sobre todo, muy prácticos, directos y buscan soluciones sencillas. ¿Qué hace falta para que un coche acelere? El menor peso posible y el mayor número de caballos posible. Sin duda el peso importa, pero ¿Cómo quitas peso drásticamente a un coche americano? Es imposible por mucho que sustituyas elementos de la carrocería por aluminio y quites cosas. Entonces, utilicemos la otra vía: ¡Más potencia! Y esto es más sencillo. Pero, como os digo, los americanos son muy prácticos, ¿nos vamos a molestar en complicarnos y preparar un motor? ¿Para que? ¡Aumentamos la cilindrada todo lo que haga falta! 1. Ford Mustang Shelby (1969). Carrol Shelby era un genio y el primero que pensó en unir lo mejor de dos mundos: Poner un potente motor americano a un ligero deportivo. Una de sus creaciones más geniales fue esta que os traemos, el Ford Mustang Shelby 500 GT. 2. Chevrolet Corvette C3 (1968). Para mí el más auténtico es el primero, el C1 de 1953. El más original, sobre todo en su época fue el C2 o “Sting Ray” de 1963. Pero el más carismático, llamado por muchos el “Coca-Cola” por la forma de su carrocería, es el C3. 3. Chevrolet Camaro (1970). Si se habla de deportivos y de Chevrolet todo el mundo piensa en el Corvette...pero, ¡mirad este coche!, su frontal, su silueta… Hubo varias evoluciones, pero todas preciosas. 4. Dodge Charger (1966). Confieso que el que más me gusta es el primero, el auténtico, el original… y no, no me refiero al prototipo de Charger II de 1965, espectacular, sino al modelo de serie aparecido en 1966 con ese frontal tan peculiar sin faros. 5. Ford GT 40 (1965). En el vídeo que hicimos sobre la película “¡Contra lo imposible!” contamos la historia de como Henry Ford, cuando Enzo Ferrari le negó la posibilidad de comprar su marca, decidió hacer un coche para ganar Le Mans. Y nació en GT40. 6. Plymouth Road Runner (1971). Me gusta la primera versión de 1968 pero mucho más la segunda de 1971. Además de este coche me encanta el nombre, pues de niño los “dibujos animados” de “El Correcaminos” no me los perdía… 7. Pontiac Firebird Trans Am “El Bandido” (1977). No sé si recuerdas de la película “Los Caraduras”.. Otro coche del que me enamoré: Ese Trans Am, negro, con techo desmontable y un águila en el capó… ¡brutal! ¿Qué soy un hortera? 8. Dodge Viper (1991). Aunque es un modelo que se ha fabricado hasta hace relativamente poco, me gusta el primero, con el V10 de 7,9 litros y 400 CV que tuve oportunidad de probar. 9. Shelby Cobra (1963). Es un coche que demuestra que Carroll Shelby era un auténtico genio, que tiene lo mejor de los deportivos europeos y americanos, muy cotizado actualmente, especialmente para carreras de clásicos y que en su momento ofrecer, en modelo pensados para circuito, hasta 492 CV… con un peso que rondaba las tonelada y media… 10. Vector W8 (1990). Solo se fabricaron 19 unidades de este modelo tan especial, que pretendía volver a llevar a los deportivos americanos a las más altas cotas. Coche del día. Voy a elegir un coche que tengo yo y que he nombrado: El Corvette Greenwood pero no en la versión “Spirit of Le Mans” sino en la versión Riverside…

A straightforward concept:  take a fun game and then add Car-Chum.  What do you get?  A sort of game of Tag or It with cars.  And there is a lot of car in the latest Car-Chum Podcast.  So sit back, relax and learn – my Car-Chum Mike is in a knowledgeable mood.

In the first half of this week's episode, we discuss the cinematic masterpiece that is 1992's Sister Act starring Whoopi Goldberg. Adam brings us up to speed on what it's like to drive a base model V6 Charger. The Felicity Ace cargo ship has sunk, taking with it 4000 cars. We discuss electric car longevity and how our generation has witnessed several technological revolutions. Lastly we bring up the possibility that Audi transmissions aren't as bulletproof as we though, with an online user's B9 A4 suffering an exploded differential while drifting in a snow-filled parking lot. Adam realizes doing one's brakes doesn't require doing all four wheels at once. In the second half, we talk about a van built on Ford's GT40 platform - it was called the Supervan. Bruce realizes he loves Porsche. GM bought a Ferrari 458 V8 to reverse engineer and to learn the intricacies of a flat plane tech. Adam spies a new Toyota GR86. Dodge's Hellcat is no longer offered with a manual. And finally we try to guess the famous car person based on AJ's biography of them. Also, guessing car statements made in different languages. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brokecarsnobs/message

Todos los coches de competición son difíciles del conducir. Ya sabéis esa regla que dice: Cuanto más eficaz es un coche, más complicado es de llevar. Y también sabéis que en competición solo hay un objetivo: La eficacia. Así que todos los coches de competición son difíciles de conducir… pero, os aseguro que ha habido algunos con mucho carácter… Me ha costado elegir 10 coches… ¡solo 10! ¿Por qué? Porque valdría casi cualquier Fórmula-1, cualquier Grupo-B o cualquier coche de la Can-Am. Pero me he propuesto una cosa: Buscar y rebuscar entre aquellos que por una u otra razón eran especialmente complicados y tenían fama precisamente de eso, de ser coches que, para llevarlos rápido, había que ser muy, pero que muy buen piloto. 1. Auto Unión tipo C. (1934) En 1958 Cooper fue el primer F1 en llevar motor central… sí, el primer F1, un campeonato instaurado en 1950, pero no el primer monoplaza de Gran Premio en llevar motor central, mérito que le corresponde a Auto Unión. Pero es que además este Tipo C contaba con un motor V16 de 4,3 litros y cerca de 300 CV. Tenía fama de ser un coche muy, pero que muy complicado por la posición de su motor, que hacía que su comportamiento fuese distinto a todos los demás coches de su época. 2. BRM V16. (1950) Este coche contaba con un motor de 16 cilindros, solo 1.5 litros pero que gracias a la sobrealimentación ofrecía 550 CV a 10.000 rpm… ¡en 1950! Un coche que un piloto de la talla de Stirling Moss confesó que odiaba, pues era muy potente pero muy pesado y con un reparto de pesos que no era el mejor del mundo. 3. Ford 3 litros GT. (1968) ¿Os parece que John Surtees es un buen piloto? Pues el bueno de John se negó a conducir este coche porque le parecía peligroso y difícil de conducir. He leído por ahí que este coche es el precursor del GT40. Falso, precursor no, antecedente sí, pues fue anterior. Mientras Ford ya estaba centrada en el GT40, el equipo Alan Mann Racing, con la ayuda de Ford Europa y de los patrocinadores Castrol y Good Year crearon este prototipo “alrededor” del motor Cosworth DFV de F1. 4. Porsche 917. (1969) El 917 nace como una evolución del 908 con motor V12 y Porsche necesita hacer 25 unidades para homologarlo, 25 unidades que fueron construidas a toda pastilla. Eran coches que estaban terminados, pero nunca habían rodado ni habían sido puestos a puntos. Cuando Hans Hermann probó el coche por primera vez dijo, literalmente, que era una “catástrofe”. Los capós se doblaban, el escape quemaba la carrocería, entraba agua, pero, sobre todo, era muy inestable. 5. McLaren M8D Chevrolet. (1970) Tampoco podía faltar en este vídeo de coches difíciles alguno de la Can-am. Y he elegido el coche que costó la vida a Bruce Mclaren. Dedique un vídeo a la Can-Am, una categoría de coches que llegaron a ser más rápidos que los F1 y con un reglamento casi libre. El M8D era un monstruo con motor V8 Chevrolet de casi 8 litros de cilindrada. Ni Ferrari con sus V12 ni Ford con un 12 cilindros de 7 litros pudieron batir a los McLaren Chevrolet. Sólo lo consiguió Porsche con su 917 de más de mil caballos. 6. Lancia Stratos. (1974) El diseño de Bertone era y es espectacular, como lo era su motor central Ferrari V6 que llego a rendir hasta 380 CV. Pero era un coche corta de batalla, muy claustrofóbico, con una visibilidad escasa y un comportamiento violento. Había que entenderlo y Sandro Munari, apodado “il Drago” supo domar a la fiera y ganar tras mundiales de marcas consecutivos. 7. Renault RS01. (1977) Había que estar locos. Y en Renault lo estaban: equipo y piloto era novatos un chasis completamente nuevo un motor turbo con la mitad de cilindrada y neumáticos radiales… comenzar un proyecto así es de locos. 8. Porsche 935/78 “Moby Dick”. (1978) En un video de “coches de competición difíciles de conducir” no podía faltar un 911. Hemos elegido el más Porsche 911 Turbo más brutal, al que dedicamos un vídeo completo. Como pasó con el 917, este modelo tenía mucho potencial, y fue Ickx quien consiguió ponerlo a punto. 9. Audi Quattro S1. (1986) No podía faltar un Grupo B. De hecho, podrían estar todos los Grupo B en este vídeo, pero el más cabrón (pitido en “on”) de todos era, de lejos, este Quattro. Se dice que llegó a alcanzar los 600 CV pero curiosamente solo consiguió una victoria, en San Remo en 1986 con nada menos que Walter Rohrl al volante. Con su corta batalla, su reparto de pesos que no ayuda y un motor brutal, conducir este coche no estaba al alcance de cualquiera. 10. Toyota Tacoma de Pikes Peak. (1998) Con este coche Rod Millen ganó consecutivamente en 1998 y 1999 la célebre prueba. Su motor de cuatro cilindros, 2.1 litros y 1000 CV se caracteriza por ser “todo patada”. Fijaos en un dato: Pese a esa potencia la velocidad máxima era de solo 212 km/h . Conclusión. Todos los coches de competición son difíciles. Pero si tienen motor central, muchos caballos y alguien te dice que son coches con “carácter”… pues ya puedes tener cuidado…

Jason discusses the Ford GT Supercar starting with the history in the mid-1960's with the Ford GT40 winning the Le Mans 24 Hour races, which is what the movie Ford vs. Ferrari is based on.  Jason discusses the first generation of the new Ford GT in the mid-2000's and the current second generation. The All American Auto Group has three 2018 Ford GTs, with one currently available for immediate purchase. That one is now located in All American Ford in Old Bridge.

We delve into what makes the FORD GT what it really is... its no street car. Spoiler Alert: It ain't about that life. Z brings the drinks and Tony finally agrees with me... well, kind of.

Clay talks about dealing with lies that customers tell and why he doesn't blame them, gets snubbed on an invite to a gay pool party, sees an act of impossible salesmanship, and learns at what speed a GT40 loses front tire contact on a set drive!

Ferrari P cars In this episode, I cover the Ferrari P cars, purpose-built endurance race cars that would dominate the world of endurance racing starting in 1963. This car would go through multiple generations being continually improved. For years these cars were untouchable, this would change in 1966 with the dominant win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ford, bring home the top 3 positions in the GT40. While the Ferrari P4 would be built to bring victory back to Ferrari, it would fail to do so, losing to Ford again. Ferrari has not won the 24 Hours of Le Mans since their loss in 1966.

Mit Titus Dittmann habe ich einen Gast am Start, der sich nicht in eine Schublade pressen lässt, allerdings kann man sicher sagen, dass er seit frühester Kindheit ein Autoverrückter ist! Das väterliche Auto war damals noch eine Seltenheit und so konnte sich der kleine Titus schon früh das Zusammenspiel von Kuppeln, Schalten, Gas und Bremse abschauen und schon als kleiner Junge in Gedanken unter der Bettdecke "üben". Mit dem Führerschein zum 18. Geburtstag überschlugen sich die Ereignisse, denn schon drei Wochen später ging Titus auf der Nordschleife das Talent aus und wild genauso ging es weiter. Viel Spaß mit Geschichten über Enten, Roadtrips, Racing, Unfälle, Sammlerautos und mittendrin der Extremsportler und Unternehmer Titus Dittmann in seiner unnachahmlich mitreißenden Art, zu erzählen!

Dans l’histoire du sport automobile, Les 24 Heures du Mans 1966 représente le plus gros combat de titans jamais vu; une lutte d’image, d’argent et d’egos que Ford a, contre toute attente, gagnée haut la main contre une mythique écurie italienne qui comptait déjà six victoires à la même épreuve. Avec sa GT40, une nouvelle voiture développée sur trois ans au coût de 500 millions de dollars, Ford a dominé les 24 Heures du Mans pendant 23 heures. Philippe Laguë, chroniqueur automobile, explique à Jacques Beauchamp que l’écurie américaine a tiré profit de la fatigue de sa flamboyante rivale.

Long ago, in the ancient year 1964, Ford made something called the GT40. It was very fast. Now, in the future, they're making the GT. It's not quite as fast, but that's because if it was it wouldn't be legal to drive. Also, MNLARS sucks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emily tries to make David care about the Martha Mitchell Effect, and David tries to make Emily care about a car race. Guest producer Doug Coonfield also weighs in. Warning: we all do a little light spoiling of jokes in Infinity War and who's in the cast, plus Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Thor: Ragnarok. This episode is movie-heavy and pretty rambly. Emily hopes y'all are okay with that, because she loved it. Corrections: David has seen Eternal Sunshine. Emily has seen Leroy Jenkins. Ahnold was paid $25 MILLION for Batman & Robin, which was $1 million PER MINUTE OF SCREENTIME. Clooney did make $10 million tho, which is not too shabby. The Truman Show came out in 1998, which is very much not 1989.Racquel Cable deserves credit for showing Emily the lawnmower vine, which is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJtZKXqDi64Fre sha vaca do: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE4C8a48o1EHere's the Skydancer video without the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGYuobZLr7MAnd with the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fMpObuYrFE

The Ford GT40 looms massively in Ford’s psyche. It was, after all, the Ford that beat Ferrari in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Four decades after that win, the company resurrected the storied machine with an all new Ford GT to commemorated Ford's 100th anniversary. Chris Theodore was Ford’s VP of Product Engineering during this time and the man tasked with designing an all-new car that captured the spirit of the original. Here he recounts the thrilling but harrowing story behind the Ford GT.

When the Ford GT won its class in the famously grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race last year, it wasn't just a celebration for the team which developed the all new supercar. It was a relief. The victory in the GTE Pro class came 50 years after Ford's historic 1966 win with the GT40, when the American automaker proved (mostly to spite Ferrari) that it could dominate the track in Europe as well as the US.

Ah, the late 1960s. LBJ occupied the White House. The Beatles ruled the charts. And Ford spent its summer vacations in France, settling a grudge with Ferrari by dominating the 24 Hours of Le Mans after the Italian outfit flaked on a deal to become part of the American automaker. Ford's GT40 won the legendary endurance race—over which Ferrari had long ruled—every year from 1966 to 1969. Half a century later, the Americans are still celebrating.

"Kim and Leslie Kendall, curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, discuss the story behind Steve McQueen's Jaguar XKSS, the bullet holes in Elvis' Pantera, compare the 1967 GT40 to the Ford GT's, explain why the most iconic of all Porsche's came to be called the 911 and everything else from a 24 karat gold plated DeLorean to the only Rolls Royce with circular doors. Don't miss this fun and informative show"
