Episode 41: Cars (2006) vs Grand Prix (1966) Part 1: Opening Statements

It's car movie v. car movie on Tired! But before Judge Matty formally gavels in: some background. Rory appreciates the respect that the Pixar film Cars (2006) shows its young audience, and the love it shows for car culture. Peter offers some thoughts on the cinema verité mindset of John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix, and what's vital about the moment it captures. And everyone agrees on one point: there are worse car movies you could be watching.
