 New Episode Alert!
This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan shift into overdrive with a full-throttle review of F1: The Movie—the Brad Pitt–led racing epic that zooms into theaters with high-stakes action, nostalgia, and pure cinematic adrenaline.

 Episode Highlights:

F1: The Movie

  • Brad Pitt shines as retired F1 legend Sonny Hayes, returning for one last comeback to resurrect a struggling APXGP team alongside rookie Joshua Pearce, portrayed by Damson Idris 
  • The film delivers immersive racing sequences, shot at real F1 events with IMAX cockpit visuals and thundering engines—pure, high-octane spectacle for both gearheads and casual viewers 
  • Dramatic depth meets formula: While some critics note a predictable underdog story, the generational clash between seasoned Hayes and ambitious Pearce adds emotional fuel to the fire .
  • Supporting cast brilliance: Javier Bardem’s team owner, Kerry Condon’s technical lead, and cameo appearances from real F1 stars like Lewis Hamilton enhance authenticity—though some suggest the narrative leans too slick and commercial
