  • Ford vs Ferrari (2019) - Furious nods of acknowledgement and hat doffing across the Atlantic
    2024/11/12

    There's a point at 15 podcasts deep... where everything fades. The podcast becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is Joe and James talking about if a movie is any good or not.

    Neither James nor Joe drive a Ford, but that is simply because they are degenerates! They do however at this point know their big end from their transmission when it comes to sports movies and this one, well she goes like the clappers. Join them as they discuss one of the finest racing movies of the 2000's in what might be the biggest champion we have had yet!

  • Kingpin (1996)
    2024/11/05

    It all comes down to this roll. Roy Munson, a man-child, with a dream to topple bowling giant Ernie McCracken. If he strikes, he's the 1979 Odor-Eaters Champion. He's got one foot in the frying pan and one in the pressure cooker. Believe me, as a bowler, I know that right about now, your bladder feels like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag and your butt is kinda like an about-to-explode bratwurst.

    Sorry was I typing out loud? There are a select few sports movies starring Bill Murray and throw in Woody Harrelson and you have one of the best movies about bowling ever made! But does that make it a Champion?

  • Cars (2006)
    2024/10/29

    Well its come that time to gain some young listeners, and mostly at the behest of James, our dynamic duo are covering a Disney Pixar Movie! 2006's Cars follows impetuous and self centred race car Lightning McQueen as he tries to win his first Piston Cup whilst learning a few lessons along the way about friendship and teamwork.

    Joe and James know by now what makes a champion, but is this up there or just another vehicle for lessons and laughter?

  • Foxcatcher (2014)
    2024/10/22

    Oh this episode is depressing....What do you get when you cross a megalomaniacal multi-billionaire with an obsession for freestyle wrestling? A recipe for disaster and depression. Foxcatcher tells the story of the Schultz Brothers (Mark and Dave) and their interaction with Du Pont billionaire John Du Pont and his making of the Foxcatcher Wrestling team in the late 90s until its demise in 1996.

    Joe and James struggle through this one but with plenty of insight into coaching and their own challenges with feelings of failure. Join us in season 2 and searching for the Champions of Cinema!

  • What memorabilia would we steal from our movies so far?
    2024/11/04

    Hey there its Joe, Just a little bonus episode cut from Kingpin which comes out tomorrow. We had a discussion about the items we like from each episode up until now that we would like to have, rather than cutting it, I thought we would give it to you as a separate bonus!

  • Jerry Maguire (1996)
    2024/10/08

    Its the final episode of season 1 and the end of our Tom Cruise series! James has been eagerly waiting for this one and boy oh boy does it disappoint him. When is a sports rom-com not good? Well when its more rom-com than necessary and its so 90s that its painful.

    But how do you make a podcast about a movie that really isn't very good? You laugh at it and provide a stellar sequel pitch to boot! Joe and James take some shots at what might be the worst sports movie Tom Cruise has starred in so far!

  • Days of Thunder (1990)
    2024/10/01

    Have you ever felt the deep desire to see 40 men in cars just turn left for 3 Hours? Or maybe watch a man explain complex aerodynamic tactics in sports by using two packs of beverage sweetener? Well look no further than this weeks movie....Days of Thunder. Tom Cruise stars as Cole Trickle a young, impetuous and talented racing driver keen to try his hand at NASCAR a sport where the advertising is as important as the racing but less important than the crashing.

    Whilst James wants to review Cars (2006) more than anything at this point, Joe carefully coaxes him towards some movie nostalgia and the third movie in our Tom Cruise Tetralogy. But with Optimus Prime and Lightning McQueen trying to throw a spanner in the works. Will we be able to cross the finish line with one of the finest racing movies ever? Listen to find out.
