This week, Joe sits down with Spike Feresten of Spike's Car Radio to talk about his rise in automotive entertainment, his years at SNL and David Letterman and why he was mad when he drove a Porsche for the first time.

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we talk about car watches, a curious subgenre within our hobby. Sure, the automobile industry is massive and has an equally huge fan base, but collaborations between watch and car brands often misfire. This draws us into a conversation about what we think of when pairing our vehicles with a watch. Whether it's for driving or attending a related event, what works best?Yes, in this episode, we tackle a challenging topic. Or, for some of our readers and listeners, perhaps it isn't a consideration at all. Car watches have been a focal point since wristwatches were first created. Angled dials meant to help drivers tell time at a glance have been produced by many marques. Then, an obvious complication associated with cars and racing is the chronograph. This is the most common platform for pieces made for Formula One teams and other automotive brands. We find many of these too on the nose, with overt branding that may only appeal to an owner of a car from the related maker. So, what should we wear when driving our fun cars or when heading off to a get-together or race?HandgelenkskontrolleFolks, it's hot out there, so we kick off our show by talking about the oppressive heat and the need for more air conditioning. Then, we mention the World Cup and all the great stories we've seen about visitors enjoying fun restaurants and customs in America. Once again, the Scots have endeared themselves to the locals. Travel-wise, Balazs just returned from Los Angeles, where he organized a Chrono24 get-together with our friends from the Spirit of Time podcast. Nearly 60 people came together at a Pasadena brewery to share their passion for watches. Mike visited the Icons of Porsche: Sunstede Silverstone Edition event celebrating Porsche's 75th anniversary in the UK. It was an incredible showing of cars and car culture. It's also what led us to our main topic — car watches.For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing one of the watches he took to California. It's none other than his prized Rolex GMT-Master 1675. Mike is still on a vintage chronograph kick and is wearing his Lemania-powered Meylan chronograph with a decimal scale.Car watchesCurrent and past horological catalogs are littered with car watches. You know, when a watch brand decides to sponsor a racing team or become the official partner of a prestigious luxury automaker. Very few are good, while most are tacky or overbranded. So, on the heels of the Porsche event, it got us thinking about the right pieces to wear when enjoying all things petrolhead. We both wholeheartedly agree that Heuer is the unequivocal leader for motorsport-related driving and race-inspired timepieces. However, it's the surprising Omega Speedmaster, in any form, that checks in as a no-nonsense racing-related model. This is despite its fame as a space watch.Other watches, including the Amida Digitrend, Omega Chronostop, and the Vacheron Constantin American 1921, arise as driver-focused pieces. Regarding newer ones, mechaquartz movements have helped inspire some attractive, robust models. The Bamford Mayfair 2.0 is a fun, brightly colored chronograph with an interchangeable case ready for any event. We close out with our ultimate "one and done" watch to wear for anything car-related. For Mike, the Heuer Carrera 2447 is pure perfection. Balazs has also chosen a Heuer, but he sees the Monaco as the ultimate car watch.Thanks for listening to today's episode! As always, feel free to let us know if you have topics for future episodes.

We are back with Joe Finkel from FCP Euro! In this episode, we tackle a brilliant factory suspension "cheat code" for water-cooled Porsches, bring you boots-on-the-ground stories from Porsche Parade, and discuss the absolute baller move of street-parking a $2M Porsche 959 in a rainstorm.But first... Derek has to confess his sins. After preaching the gospel of DIY wrenching, a nightmare of rusted exhaust manifold hardware and a crazy schedule forced him to do the unthinkable: he outsourced his Fister exhaust install and DT40 oil change.Once the guilt is cleared, Joe breaks down how Porsche silently updated older lower control arm blueprints to mirror modern 718 geometry—and how you can score this massive handling upgrade on a budget. We also debate the "500-HP cap" for usable street performance and name the #1 diagnostic tool every owner needs in their garage.

On today's show we take a look at the new Apple CarPlay Ultra. And with the high cost of streaming these days, we give you our pick for the one streaming service that you should keep. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Fox Is Buying Roku in $22 Billion Deal Gemini can now adjust your picture settings on Google TV Blink Just Launched Its First Doorbell With 2K Video — And It's Only $50 AWOL Vision Expands Home Entertainment Portfolio Apple's New CarPlay Ultra A listener sent us a link to: I tried Apple CarPlay Ultra and now everything else feels outdated. The author felt that CarPlay Ultra just made every other in-car system feel clunky – and after testing it in an Aston Martin DBX, I don't want to drive without it. So why is he so excited about this update? Main Takeaways from the Article: CarPlay Ultra is a full dashboard takeover: Unlike standard CarPlay (which only handles the central screen), this next-gen version extends seamlessly across all screens — including the instrument cluster, driver display, and center infotainment. It creates one unified, cohesive Apple-style interface for the entire driving experience. New design and customization with brand personality preserved: Tested in an Aston Martin DBX, it delivers crisp fonts, smooth performance, glanceable widgets (music, navigation, tire pressure, etc.), and deep customization. Aston Martin added brand-specific touches (e.g., custom dials with the wings logo, green colorway, and vehicle bird's-eye view) while keeping Apple's polish. Complete vehicle controls inside one UI: You can adjust climate, suspension, driver assists, drive modes, fuel/range info, radio, and more without switching to the car's native system. A clever "punch through" feature seamlessly jumps to the manufacturer's menus for unsupported controls (like ambient lighting) and returns instantly. Highly intuitive and responsive: Steering wheel controls let you swipe between views hands-free. Everything feels fast with zero lag, making it feel like a natural extension of the car rather than a bolted-on phone interface. Safety net if phone disconnects: Core driving info (speedo, critical gauges) runs locally and stays active. Navigation/media/apps resume seamlessly upon reconnection. Availability and future rollout: Currently live on high-end Aston Martins (with over-the-air or dealer updates for compatible models like DBX/DB12). More brands (Porsche, Mercedes, Polestar, and eventually affordable ones) are coming soon. Overall verdict: The reviewer says it makes every other in-car system (including their own Android Auto) feel clunky and outdated. It's not just visual — it fundamentally improves the driving experience, and they "never want to drive without it again." Netflix: The Best Single Streaming Service to Keep in 2026 With so many streamers out there costing us hundreds a year it has become expensive to watch TV. We asked ourselves, "If we had to pick only one streamer which one would it be?" And that streamer is - Netflix Why Netflix Wins for Most People Biggest variety and library — Massive catalog of originals (hit shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Wednesday, etc.), licensed movies/TV, international content, documentaries, and new releases. It has something for almost every taste and mood. Excellent discovery tools — Strong recommendation algorithm that gets better the more you watch, making it easy to find what you'll like without wasting time. Reliable and polished — Simple, fast interface that works great on any device (smart TVs, phones, tablets, streaming sticks, etc.). Consistent quality and frequent new content. Other strong contenders fall short in our "one service only" scenario: Disney+ — Fantastic for families, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar — but narrower overall appeal. Prime Video — Great value if you already shop on Amazon (and it comes with Prime perks), but the core streaming library feels less essential alone. HBO Max — Strong prestige dramas and movies, but smaller overall selection. Apple TV+ — Highest production quality per show, but much smaller library. Bottom line: Netflix gives you the broadest entertainment bang for your buck and the least chance of getting bored quickly. It's the safest "one and done" choice for a general audience in 2026.

Thank You to Our CrewThank You to Our Crew Before we get into it this week, a big thank you to everyone who keeps this show going — the listeners, the community, and everyone flying the P-car flag out there. You know who you are. We appreciate you. Another Rough Weekend for Porsche Motorsport There is no sugarcoating it — another race weekend, another result that hurts to watch. One car out with steering rack issues, the other limping home in 12th. For a factory program with the pedigree Porsche carries, this is not where anyone expected to be at this point in the season. The year opened with real promise, and now we are sitting here trying to figure out what went sideways. The thing that makes it sting more is context: this is the last year of the current factory effort, which means every result carries extra weight. Is this a program that ran out of steam at the end? Is the talent still there but the development cycle just dried up knowing the curtain is coming down? The crew has thoughts, and none of them are particularly optimistic. We are not here to pile on, but we are also not going to pretend a 12th and a DNF is anything other than what it is. Porsche x Toy Story — Buzz Lightyear and the Clone Army Porsche teamed up with Toy Story for a charity livery and honestly, as a one-off it is kind of hard to hate. It is silly, it is colorful, it is for a good cause — fine. But here is where the fun starts. How long before the clout-chasing segment of the community starts dropping their own Buzz Lightyear wraps? Because you know it is coming. We are officially starting the counter. Every time one of these shows up on Instagram over the next few months, we want to know about it. Send them to us at @pcartalk, we will keep a running tally, and we will report back. Play along at home. The over/under on copycat liveries by end of year — place your bets now. To infinity and beyond, apparently. The Big One: When Your 996 or 997 Engine Goes Boom — What Do You Actually Do? IMS failure. Bore scoring. If you own a 996 or 997, these are not hypotheticals — they are scenarios you have thought about, probably more than once. So let us say it actually happens. The engine is cooked, damage is too severe to rebuild sensibly, and you are staring at a bill. A proper factory-spec engine replacement is going to run you somewhere around $50,000 depending on who does the work and what parts are needed. That is a real number, and for a lot of people owning these cars, it reframes the entire ownership conversation. So what do you actually do? You have options, and none of them are comfortable. You pay the freight, source a replacement engine, and keep the car correct — which is the defensible move if you have a clean example and plan to keep it. You find a used engine and gamble on its history. Or you go a completely different direction. And this is where the conversation gets interesting, because people have gone different directions. LS swaps in 911s exist. K-swapped 996s with a turbo bolted on — we have seen it with our own eyes. It runs. It is fast. It is also deeply confusing to look at under the hood of a 911. The question is not just mechanical, it is philosophical. A 911 is defined by the engine in the back. That flat-six, that specific architecture, is what makes the car what it is. When you pull it and replace it with something that was never meant to be there, are you still driving a 911 or are you driving something else that happens to have a 911 body? There is no wrong answer here, especially when the alternative is a $50K repair on a car that might be worth $40K. But the crew has opinions, and this one goes long. Where would you go, and why? Outro That is a wrap on this one. Thanks for riding along. Find us at pcartalk.com for events and everything P-car, support the show at Patreon.com/pcartalk, and hit us on Instagram at @pcartalk.

Lamborghini Diablo: El hijo “bastardo” de Gandini “Un Lamborghini debe ser capaz de recibir una multa por exceso de velocidad… incluso estando aparcado”. Esta filosofía de Ferruccio Lamborghini marcó el camino, pero cuando llegó el delicado momento de buscarle un sustituto al mítico Countach, Ferruccio ya no era el dueño de la marca. Reemplazar a un mito no es fácil, y la sucesión se convirtió en una auténtica batalla de despachos llena de traiciones corporativas, una gestación que fue un infierno y hasta piezas japonesas ocultas. Descubre todos los secretos inconfesables del Lamborghini Diablo. El Proyecto 132 y la invasión de Detroit A mediados de los ochenta, Lamborghini caminaba por el alambre de la quiebra. El Countach, aunque legendario, empezaba a quedarse atrás frente a rivales como el Porsche 959 o el Ferrari F40. Así nació en secreto el Proyecto 132, con un objetivo claro: ser el primer coche de producción en serie en superar los 315 km/h. Para ello, contaron con el ingeniero Luigi Marmiroli y el lápiz mágico de Marcello Gandini. Sin embargo, en 1987, el gigante estadounidense Chrysler compró Lamborghini. De la noche a la mañana, los artesanos italianos pasaron a depender de las calculadoras de Detroit, chocando frontalmente con la mentalidad purista de Sant'Agata Bolognese. Guerra de despachos: La venganza de Gandini Cuando Gandini presentó su diseño a escala real, los ejecutivos americanos entraron en pánico. Era un coche demasiado radical y afilado. Chrysler impuso que su propio equipo en Detroit "civilizara" el diseño, redondeando esquinas y modificando el habitáculo original. El resultado desató la furia de Gandini. Sintiendo que su obra había sido profanada, tomó sus preciados planos originales, abandonó el proyecto dando un portazo y se los entregó a Claudio Zampolli y Giorgio Moroder. Así, el verdadero diseño puro de Gandini vio la luz fuera de la marca como el exótico Cizeta-Moroder V16T. Una de las mayores venganzas de la historia de la automoción. Bautismo a 325 km/h Mientras los egos chocaban en los despachos, el equipo de ingeniería trabajaba contrarreloj: -El Corazón: Un motor V12 de 5.7 litros que entregaba 492 caballos de potencia bruta, sin filtros ni ayudas electrónicas. -La Puesta a Punto: El campeón de rallyes Sandro Munari se encerró en la pista oval de Nardò para evitar que el coche "despegara" del asfalto a altas velocidades. -El Resultado: Durante las pruebas, el Diablo pulverizó a la competencia alcanzando una velocidad máxima oficial de 325 km/h. -Fiel a la tradición, fue bautizado como "Diablo" en honor a un feroz toro del Duque de Veragua del siglo XIX. La evolución del toro indomable A lo largo de los años 90, el Diablo sufrió transformaciones clave para sobrevivir a los continuos cambios de dueños de la marca: 1993 - El Diablo VT: Para domar el salvajismo del modelo original, los ingenieros adaptaron el sistema de tracción a las cuatro ruedas del todoterreno LM002, añadiendo además dirección asistida y suspensión controlada electrónicamente. 1995 - El Diablo SV (Super Veloce): Bajo el mando del fondo indonesio Megatech, nació esta versión más ligera, barata, potente (510 CV) y radical, eliminando la tracción total. 1999 - El secreto de Audi y Nissan: Con Audi ya al mando de la compañía y la prohibición de los faros escamoteables, Lamborghini necesitaba ópticas fijas pero no tenía presupuesto. En un acto de picaresca brillante, compraron faros del Nissan 300ZX y taparon el logotipo japonés grabado en el cristal con una elegante tira de fibra de carbono. Así nació el agresivo frontal del Diablo GT. 2001 - El Diablo VT 6.0: El canto del cisne. Audi impuso un control de calidad férreo. El motor creció hasta los 6.0 litros y 550 caballos, y el coche se convirtió en el Diablo más refinado, lujoso y fiable de la historia, cerrando su ciclo antes de dar paso al Murciélago. Conclusión El Lamborghini Diablo fue el superviviente nato de las batallas corporativas más feroces de los 90. Uniendo el brutal legado italiano con los recursos de Chrysler y Audi, se coronó como el último superdeportivo verdaderamente indomable de la historia automotriz.

El gestor de fondos Javier Alfayate analiza la actualidad de los mercados. En un contexto en el que recobra protagonismo el conflicto que transcurre en Oriente Próximo, con el foco en el estrecho de Ormuz y las constantes tensiones entre Irán, Israel y Estados Unidos presenciamos un acuerdo para reabrir el estrecho, finalmente. Lo que se refleja en los mercados mundiales. “La tendencia vuelve a ser la que había antes, pero no al ritmo con el que lo hacía antes” señala Alfayate. También vemos que la salida a bolsa histórica de SpaceX sigue dando de qué hablar con una valoración que ya alcanza los 2,5 billones de dólares.“Es una valoración muy alta, no tenemos gráficos y no podemos interpretar, vamos a ciegas y hay mucha especulación, iría con cuidado” puntualiza el analista en referencia al nuevo proyecto de Elon Musk. Así mismo, si miramos a los mercados europeos vemos que hay una confianza renovada en los gráficos “en general vemos como las subidas se retoman, parece que en europa lo hacen mejor que los americanos, aunque Dow Jones ha cogido ritmo". Durante la jornada se han comentado varios valores por los que el público de este medio consultaban, algunos de ellos pertenecen al sector del motor, los comentados han sido Aston Martin, que según Alfayate “tiene una tendencia bajista, lo que quiere decir que el camino será probablemente hacia abajo” comenta también que dentro del sector hay comparables en mejor situación como Porsche o General motor que es la favorita del momento. En la misma línea también fue objeto de análisis Ferrari que “está intentando hacer ese suelo en la zona de los 300, justamente hace dos semanas esa media la giro al alza, aunque todavía es pronto, la confirmación está por encima de los 330. No me parece mal entrar ”. asegurá el invitado. El foco también ha atravesado el sector de seguridad con el estudio en profundidad de Prosegur, la multinacional española líder, con presencia en más de 30 países, opera a nivel global para proteger empresas, hogares e instituciones. Javier Alfayate asevera que “es uno de los valores que aburren un poco, desde agosto del año pasado mantiene un rango lateral, de 2.50 a 3.06 estamos encasillados, puede seguir así mucho tiempo, yo lo cambiaría por clásicos alcistas, a lo mejor por Iberdrola o Caixabank”.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we talk about how hype can help or hurt brands. Naturally, there are plenty of other topics on the docket, including television, German culture, and more!Hype is a funny thing. Nearly everyone or every company wants it, but at some point, enough can be enough. From one-hit wonders to oversaturation, there is no shortage of examples of when a once-popular topic becomes played out or hackneyed. While we aren't here to predict which brands could fall prey to such a situation, we do talk about some models and strategies that are working well or flying very close to the sun.HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our episode regarding hype with an interesting chat about German garden houses, known as Schrebergartens or Kleingartens. These little huts are an interesting sight for foreigners who often wonder if they are looking at a strange encampment. This discussion is connected to a chat on lawn art, including gnomes and orbs. For television, Mike has been watching Ponies on Sky, and Balazs just finished the Man on Fire series. Regarding the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike continues his Heuer love with the chocolaty Camaro 7220 NT. Balazs has brought back a fan favorite with the Omega Speedmaster Professional Speedy Tuesday 1.Hype and its effects on brandsWe kick off our discussion about hype and its potential effects on different companies with a brief tale about the luggage brand, Rimowa. It seems that unscrupulous sellers are now hawking counterfeit versions of the well-known aluminum suitcases. This raises a fundamental question: whether a brand begins to lose its luster when the hype is so large that fakes begin to appear. The answer is complex and inconsistent. Or what happens when a brand suddenly goes after a new set of buyers, which can turn off its traditional core fans? We pose these questions around Rolex, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Ming, Panerai, and more. Brands such as Porsche and Ferrari also make an entrance. Of course, our thoughts differ depending on the situation, what the brand is trying to achieve, and how they behave when a person enters a store. Listen in and provide your thoughts.We hope you enjoyed today's episode, and we look forward to bringing you more! As always, let us know if you have future topic ideas, and thank you for listening.

This week I sat down with Zack Klapman, co-host of The Smoking Tire and the man behind the Hilarious car-nerd game show Driver's Test, to map the whole restomod world for anyone who's new to it. We get into what these cars actually are, what they cost, and whether a one and a half million dollar Porsche can possibly be worth the money. From there we wander, the way these talks do, into the Lexus LFA, the Audi R8, hydraulic versus electric steering, why modern engines keep grenading, and the most useful thing Zack said all night: power gets boring, and the base model is usually the smarter buy. If you've heard me preach that on this channel, you'll like where this one goes.Zack has driven the stuff most of us only get to read about, and he talks about it like a normal person, which is the whole point of this show.Also: Check out The Smoking Tire Live Show with the amazing Christian Hand!!!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-smoking-tire-podcast-christian-james-hand-tickets-1991203255539Chapters 0:00 Meet Zack Klapman 1:13 Why restomods, and who this episode is for 2:19 What a restomod actually is 4:36 Why a Singer or Gunther Werks isn't really a restomod 5:40 Singer's ethos vs Gunther Werks' ethos 7:34 What these cars actually cost 8:14 Is a 1.5 million dollar Porsche worth it 11:00 Driving a Singer, and the Lexus LFA comparison 14:40 The supercar the market never understood 16:46 The LC500, the R8, and great cars that stayed cheap 22:14 Hydraulic vs EPAS, and why "old is always better" is lazy 25:12 Porsche curmudgeon culture 28:08 Why modern engines keep breaking 32:00 The walnut blasting BMW story 35:01 What it's like to drive a million dollar car 37:20 Getting jaded, and Jay Leno's rule 39:49 The perfect horsepower number 42:18 Why the base model is usually the smart buy 45:49 The one Porsche Zack would actually buy 49:36 Is the Porsche market finally softening 51:00 Go watch Driver's TestFind Zack: Driver's Test: https://www.youtube.com/@ZackKlapmansDriversTest The Smoking Tire: youtube.com/thesmokingtire Instagram: instagram.com/therealzackklapmanElevenAfterNine: Main Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNine Instagram: instagram.com/TheElevenAfterNine Web: www.ElevenAfterNine.com Hosted on Acast.

Business owners rarely fail because they're short on tools or tactics, they fail because they blend in. In a world where everyone has access to AI, automation, and endless data, the real danger is that your message, brand, and leadership lose their human edge. Output becomes polished but generic. Teams get buried in analytics while intuition, originality, and genuine connection get pushed aside. Today's guest, Nir Bashan, keynote speaker, creativity consultant, and author of The Solution Mindset: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving, has helped brands like Rolex and Porsche turn creativity into measurable profit by treating it as a practical business tool, not something fluffy or optional.  In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Nir shows us why creativity is now the last true competitive advantage in the age of AI. He explains how AI has become the great equalizer: everyone can generate emails, posts, and scripts at scale, but very few know how to separate the “AI fire hose” of output into what's truly valuable, authentic, and on-brand. Nir reveals how to use AI as a starting point while applying a creativity rubric to refine, reshape, and humanize your content so it sounds like you and actually resonates with your audience. https://youtu.be/juP8aaBUPaI?si=b9yJ3lZXJT0Q3s2T This conversation is packed with insights for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who feel overwhelmed by data, distracted by constant digital noise, or frustrated that their AI-assisted content still falls flat. If you've been wondering how to stand out when everyone else has the same tools, Nir's Solution Mindset will show you how to reclaim creativity as a skill, integrate it with your analytics, and turn everyday problems into opportunities for differentiation and growth. Quotes: “Creativity is an actionable tool that we can use to grow businesses, get into new markets, change product, and change how customers relate to what we offer. The problem is that most people don't use it."  "AI is now the great equalizer. Everyone has access to it, so the question becomes: what do we do to get to the next level? That shortage, that gap there, is creativity."  "Reality doesn't lie strictly in the numbers; it lies in a balancing of the analytics and the creative. That's what I help people do, connect those two things to optimize their business."

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, starting with the strange feeling of swapping an Apple Watch for a proper Omega Seamaster at dinner and what that says about style, habits and dressing like a grown up.From there, the conversation moves into Apple's latest software betas, the promise of a genuinely useful Siri AI, whether Apple could replace paid AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for everyday users, and why privacy, on-device processing and private cloud compute could make Apple's approach especially interesting for work, productivity and personal organisation.The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on cars and the future of the motoring industry. Roberto and Jon discuss the first images of BMW's upcoming electric M3, the changing design language of EVs, why battery range and software may matter more than old-fashioned badge prestige, and how Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda could reshape the car market in the UK.They also get into used Porsche Taycan values, Hyundai's Ioniq 9, the rise of chunky EV design, whether premium brands still have real badge power, and why the next generation of car buyers may judge vehicles very differently to those of us who grew up with petrol engines, Sunday drives and poster cars.A wide-ranging conversation covering watches, style, Apple, AI, EVs, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, Chinese car brands, car finance, software, batteries and why the whole car industry might be entering its biggest shift in decades.

First, let's get this clear - typing with a smashed finger is hard.  On the plus side, it's not Vaughn's finger, which is now missing (keep your hands inside the truck on-trail).  Another warning: seatbelts are good (especially when Audiots are known to be in the area).  This episode's one of those gearhead-sink specials, where everything is interesting and there's too much geek goodness for one (Garage) hour.  We've got black paint on Scott's 911 and Ryan's B6, black music (does Black Sabbath quality?), Ferrari missing the electric-car boat in the most expensive (and ugliest) way possible (...introducing the Ferrari Aztek!), a fix for politicians who missed the Freedom Train and were trying to put spyware in new cars (can't flee the mutant eskimo polar deer monsters if the car won't start), and a bit of an over-the-shoulder anniversary look at the hypnotic tale of a man who couldn't take it any longer, so he built a tank out a bulldozer. There's also a 787 that narrowly missed FALLING on the runway-lights guy, technology (still not on our side), the robin that keeps pooping on the mailbox, and the Professors (not the Torquays - next time).

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast. This week I am recommending four movies about undercover work. That can mean a lot of things in movies. Sometimes it is a young cop trying to prove himself. Sometimes it is a guy returning to a place where everyone already knows him. Sometimes it is a job that starts out dangerous and then gets worse because the people doing it begin to lose track of who they are supposed to be.I have always liked this kind of story because it gives crime movies a built in problem right away. The person at the center has to lie, but the lie only works if part of it feels true. That is where these movies live. None of them treat undercover work as clean or especially clever. It is usually sweaty, stressful, and bad for everyone involved.No Man's Land (1987)No Man's Land stars D. B. Sweeney as a young cop who goes undercover to get inside a Porsche theft ring run by Charlie Sheen. It was directed by Peter Werner and written by Dick Wolf, which is a little interesting now because most people probably connect Wolf with Law and Order and television crime stories. Here he is working in a very eighties lane, with stolen sports cars, Los Angeles money, and Charlie Sheen doing the smooth rich kid criminal thing.This is not the deepest movie on the shelf, but it has a good setup and a lot of period texture. The car stuff helps. A crime ring built around stolen Porsches feels very much of its moment, and the movie understands the appeal of that world even while it is showing you the danger underneath it. Sweeney is good as someone who is not quite ready for the assignment, and Sheen is believable as the guy who makes bad choices look attractive.The cast also includes Randy Quaid, M. Emmet Walsh, Lara Harris, and Bill Duke. I always like when Bill Duke shows up in something, and in this week's lineup he shows up twice, once here as an actor and later as the director of Deep Cover (1992). That was not the reason I picked these four, but it is a nice bit of video store shelf connection.State of Grace (1990)State of Grace stars Sean Penn as Terry Noonan, an undercover cop who returns to Hell's Kitchen and reconnects with the people he grew up with. The problem is that those people are now tied into the Irish mob, and some of them still see him as one of their own. That makes the undercover part more personal than usual. He is not just pretending to belong. In some ways, he already did.The cast is a big part of the reason to watch this one. Ed Harris is controlled and cold as Frankie Flannery, Gary Oldman is all nerves and damage as Jackie, and Robin Wright gives the movie more emotional weight than it would have had with a thinner version of that role. John Turturro and John C. Reilly are in there too, which gives the movie one of those casts where you keep noticing people before they became more familiar.It was directed by Phil Joanou, written by Dennis McIntyre, shot by Jordan Cronenweth, and scored by Ennio Morricone. That is a lot of strong names attached to a movie that never became as famous as it probably should have. Part of the problem is timing. It came out in 1990, the same year as Goodfellas, and that is a tough shadow for any New York crime movie to stand in. State of Grace is not Goodfellas, and it is not trying to be. Rush (1991)Rush is a heavier version of the undercover story. Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh play narcotics officers working a drug case in 1970s Texas, and the movie is less interested in the mechanics of the investigation than in what the job does to them. It is about crossing lines, then having trouble finding those lines again.The movie was directed by Lili Fini Zanuck and based on Kim Wozencraft's novel, which was inspired by her own time as an undercover narcotics officer. Pete Dexter wrote the screenplay, and the cast includes Sam Elliott, Max Perlich, and Gregg Allman. That last bit always makes the movie feel slightly stranger on paper than it plays on screen, because Allman fits into the world of the movie pretty naturally.Rush is not a casual watch. Jason Patric was very good in this period at playing men who seem like they have already made peace with ruining themselves, and Jennifer Jason Leigh makes her character's slide feel believable without turning it into a big speech. Eric Clapton did the music, and the soundtrack became better known than the movie in some circles because of Tears in Heaven. The film itself is rougher and less sentimental than people might expect from that association.Deep Cover (1992)Deep Cover stars Laurence Fishburne, still credited here as Larry Fishburne, as a police officer recruited by the DEA to go undercover in Los Angeles. Jeff Goldblum plays the lawyer and criminal operator he gets close to, and Goldblum gives the movie a different kind of villain than the usual street level dealer. He is funny, polished, and awful in a way that feels very specific to him.This was directed by Bill Duke, and it is one of the best undercover crime movies of the period. It has the shape of a genre film, but it is also angry about the systems around the drug war. Fishburne is excellent because he never plays the character as a cool movie cop enjoying the danger. He looks like someone being hollowed out by the job, which makes the movie more interesting as it goes along.The title song is also a major part of the movie's history. Deep Cover was Dr. Dre's debut solo single and introduced a lot of listeners to Snoop Doggy Dogg. That song has lived on in a big way, but the movie deserves to be remembered right alongside it. It is sharp, stylish, and still feels a little mean around the edges.All four of these movies are about people who are supposed to keep their identities separate, and none of them are very good at it for long. No Man's Land (1987) gives you the flashy version with stolen cars and rich criminals. State of Grace (1990) makes it about old friends and old wounds. Rush (1991) turns the assignment into something punishing and personal. Deep Cover (1992) takes the undercover story and pushes it into something colder and more political.If I were standing behind the counter this week, these are the four I would point you toward. They are not all doing the same thing, but they belong together on the same rental stack. Undercover movies work best when the job stops being just a job, and each of these gets there in its own way.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Thank You to the Kimchi Crew Before we get into it, a genuine thank you to everyone who listens, supports the show, and keeps this community alive. You know who you are. We do this because we love it, and you make it worth doing. Now let's get into it. Detroit IMSA: BOP'd Into Irrelevance The Porsche GT3R at Detroit was so heavily Balance of Performance'd that it was barely a factor, and the prototype entries qualified so far back in such a short enduro format that catching up was a near-impossible ask before the green flag even dropped. But let's be honest with ourselves here: IMSA was on GM's side from the jump. The race is in Detroit, GM's backyard, and anyone paying attention could feel the gravitational pull toward keeping the home team looking good. This isn't new. The frustration with series organizers placating to manufacturers based on geography or politics is real, and it's a recurring stain on what should be a pure competition. When the racing result feels predetermined by the city it's held in, that's a problem worth calling out. The 911 Market Is Not Coming Back Down We touched the surface of this last episode when we talked about Mezger-engine GT3s drying up and the 993 price surge, but it's time to go deeper because the numbers are getting genuinely hard to rationalize. 997 Carrera S's: a green manual with 35k miles is asking $108k. Midnight blue, 55k miles, manual, asking $90k. For a Carrera S. Let that sit. 996 Turbos, which we've covered before, are now seeing 95k-mile manual cars asking $90k. The market logic here is that against the backdrop of new Porsche prices, these feel like deals to people entering the hobby. And look, we get it, but that doesn't make the numbers any less wild. The broader picture is this: if you are chasing a manual 911 of any generation, any configuration, the era of stumbling into a good deal is over. Base 991.1s with 50 to 80k miles are moving at $65k to $80k. Base Carrera, not an S, not a GTS. And before anyone says you can still find a reasonable 996 base 911 for $35k to $40k with 90k miles -- we'd push back hard on that. That is not a bargain. That is a lot of money for a car that will demand attention and investment. The "affordable 911" narrative needs to be retired. Here's the thing we want to be transparent about: there is zero financial incentive for us to tell you to go buy a car. We don't get a cut. But if you want a manual 911 and you're sitting on the fence, today is genuinely the better bet than tomorrow, because every data point we're seeing says the floor keeps rising regardless of generation. This is not a bubble in the traditional sense. These are driver's cars with a finite supply of desirable manual configurations in a world that stopped producing them. Why do you think this keeps going up? We'd love to hear from the community on that. What makes this genuinely upsetting, not just analytically frustrating, is that the price appreciation is pricing out exactly the people who should be owning these cars. The passionate ones. The ones who would drive them, maintain them right, and actually care. Instead they end up with people for whom it's a flex or a garage sculpture. That's a gut punch for anyone who's been in this community long enough to remember when that wasn't the case. JC9 Carrera GT: A Solution Looking for a Problem The JC9 is essentially a reimagined Carrera GT body with visual cues borrowed from the 917. On paper that sounds compelling, but sitting with it longer brings up some real questions. The Carrera GT doesn't need to be fixed. It is one of the most celebrated analog driver's cars ever made. Slapping a new body on the concept and marketing it to ultra-wealthy buyers who want something exclusive feels like the automotive equivalent of a solution looking for a problem. KISS. Keep it simple. The military drilled that into some of us for good reason, and it applies here. The original formula was right. The more the car world chases bespoke reinventions of icons for nine-figure clientele, the further it drifts from what made those icons matter in the first place. Thoughts on this one? We have mixed feelings and we're not hiding it. Indecent 911 Hatchback Wagon: Cool Idea or Vaporware? The renders coming out of Indecent for a custom 911 hatchback/wagon are genuinely striking. They look cool. Full stop. But the question that always follows something like this is whether this is another "put your money where your mouth is" moment, where the concept gets traction on the internet and then quietly disappears when build deposits don't materialize. The 911 community has seen this cycle before. People love the idea of something unconventional until they have to actually commit to it. Is there a real market for a coachbuilt 911 wagon? Maybe. Is the execution going to live up to renders that were made to generate buzz? That's always the harder question. What do you think -- cool and you'd want one, or a stunt?
