About this episode
Why do movies keep getting cars so wrong — and why do we still love them anyway?
This week, James, Ant and Will dive into Hollywood’s greatest automotive hits and misses, from Fast & Furious fantasies to Bond’s DB5, Lotus Esprit submarines and the gloriously inaccurate driving scenes that make car fans wince and grin in equal measure.
• The car films we love — and the ones that make us shout at the screen
• How Fast & Furious, Ford v Ferrari and Le Mans ’66 shaped car culture
• Movie car realism vs cinematic storytelling — why physics doesn’t sell tickets
• Our favourite Bond cars: DB5, V8 Vantage, Vanquish and Lotus Esprit
• When Hollywood gets it right (and when it really doesn’t)
