Kermodian Classics
Chris and Marty pick through a lockdown list from film critic, journalist and flappy-handed inspiration for this podcast, Mark Kermode, to review two bona fide movie classics: American Graffiti and Bullitt.\n\nThe 30th anniversary of Days of Thunder led ESPN to look back on the legacy that changed both action movies and NASCAR. We were also tipped off to a thread on Twitter with some fantastic behind the scenes details.\n\nHaving been a Channel 4 exclusive, the Formula E documentary And We Go Green has been released to YouTube, which Marty rates more highly than he does electric cars...\n\nChris picked the 'stop doing silly space films' George Lucas teen drama American Graffiti, while Marty relived memories of Ford Puma adverts with Bullitt.\n\nNow lockdown is easing and people are going back to work, we can celebrate the return of 'What has Henry Catchpole been up to this week?' , in this case road and track testing the new Porsche 992 Turbo S.\n\nFor Chris's YouTube pick this week, a $4500 'Veyron' that is, well, awful. Not awful though is the Mercedes F1 YouTube channel that - while maybe a little corporate - is jam-packed with information from the team about their people and their preparations for the new season.\n\nMarty has gone for WRC Flatout 2019, and if you like astonishing, real world builds then check out his YouTube channel pick, Speed Academy.\n\nIf you want to tell us if we\u2019re right, wrong or to share something we should be looking at, get in touch via the following channels:\n\nTwitter: @AutomoviePod\n\nFacebook: AutomoviePodcast\n\nEmail: comments@automoviepodcast.com
