This week on Nerds Against Normality, we hit the gas and dive helmet-first into Ron Howard’s 2013 Formula 1 drama Rush — a film based on the legendary real-life rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Expect fierce competition, life-or-death moments, and a lot of engine-revving opinions from your favourite trio of pop culture nerds.
But does Rush take pole position among sports biopics, or does it stall on the grid? We break down the performances, the visuals, the sound design, and that Nürburgring sequence — all without giving away if we loved it or loathed it. Fans of Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Brühl, 70s aesthetics, and high-octane drama — this one’s for you.
🎙️ New episodes of our movie review podcast drop every Wednesday. Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your audio fix. And if you enjoy deep dives into cult films, cinematic clashes, and nerdy debates, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review.
