In this follow-up to their debut, Janackeh and Nick trade the ballroom floor for the pit lane. They start with a side-by-side look at Driven (2001)—Sylvester Stallone’s glossy, soap-opera take on Champ Car—and Senna, the acclaimed documentary that captures Ayrton Senna’s meteoric rise and tragic fall in Formula 1. From Hollywood set pieces to real-life onboard footage, they weigh how each film handles speed, rivalry, and the human cost of racing.
A new feature-length F1 movie hitting theaters sparks a bigger chat about why motorsport stories keep drawing fresh audiences. That rolls into the week’s headline: Christian Horner’s Red Bull controversies and whether the turbulence could nudge Lewis Hamilton away from Ferrari sooner than fans expect. The hosts round things out with a nod to Netflix’s Drive to Survive and its role in revving up U.S. interest.
Expect candid reactions, a couple of “did-you-know?” production notes, and plenty of tire smoke as Janackeh and Nick explore how real and fictional racing intersect on-screen and on the grid.
