'Breaking Away' with Jonathan Ellsworth & Simon Stewart

Breaking Away features one of the biggest and coolest bike races out there (the Little 500, which is still held every year at Indiana University) while also doubling as a fantastic coming-of-age film. So in honor of the 45th anniversary of its release, Jonathan & Simon, debate what’s aged the best; discuss the most rewatchable scenes; and Simon drops the hottest of Hot Takes.
