Speaker 1 (00:09):
I Heeart podcasts. You can hear more Gold one I
four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
free iHeart app. Got anything good? Hey, this is the
Christian O'Connell show podcast. So yesterday afternoon I went to
go and see F one, the Formula one movie, two

(00:33):
and a half hours. Oh, long time, long time. However,
I jogged to go to the toilet because it was
that good. It is such cheesy fun. It's why we
go to the cinema. If you're interested and you haven't
seen it yet, I know it's been on for a
couple of weeks now, but going to South Favor. If
you are going to go and see it, go and
see it where it should be done. It's a it's
a big cinema movie. The action scenes are relentless. It's brilliant.

(00:57):
It's Top Gun. It's Brad Pitt's Top Gun in a
car even not the same director as Top Gun. Maverick.
I read Walking Out, It's it's and also it's got
so many I love a sports movie, right, but all
sports movies have sports movie cliches, and it had so many.
I felt like I was with my people. Read I
wasn't yet a great montage. There's always round about the

(01:21):
sort of halfway mark, there's a key monologue and you know,
and I knew as soon as I saw the monologue,
God damn it, this is going to be paid off,
pay attention Christian in the last ten minutes, and it was.
It creates an invisible thread as soon as that monologue
is floated, and they had a key phrase about why
Sonny Hayes, Of course that's our boy, Brad peer Why
does he race? Tell you what rio it for? Money?

(01:43):
What's it for Sonny? Why are you here love? And
he says something not for that either something else. And
the last ten minutes you see it, and it gave
me goosebumps. That's what you want in a sports movie. Yes,
the dialogue was actually written by testosterone, our real healthy
dose and sprinkling of dad issues. So like any great

(02:09):
sports movie. Okay, you've got the old dog, you know
that the has been and that's Brad Pitt and then
he got the young dog. They're two very different characters,
but they got to work together for a team. Wait,
that actually is just top Gun Mad. It's the same
the same director and wait for this, the same writer
of the movie as well, and I don't mind any

(02:29):
of it. I'm here for all of it. Keep on
making this kind of movie with just different things old
whatever it is. The dialogue is so hammy at time,
So if formerly one's your sport, and for the rest
of us that kind of don't really know all the
intricate details they slap on quite easy for thickies like II.
Several times you've seen giant letters across the whole screen.

(02:52):
Last lap some there shoveling food. I get it. Thank
you for saying that, because yeah, earlier you told me
that this was lap sixty six. I don't know whether
it's good or bad. Wait sixty six? How many more
to go? I don't know. Wheer it's high one more? Oh,

(03:13):
this must mean it's gonna get really important now to
pay attention, and it's it's got a lot of cameos
from actually Formula one drivers. That's cool, yastreet, He's got
Max for stapping at one point, Brad Pitt is racing.
Now Brad Pitt is still a beautiful looking guy. Okay,
but you stick that beautiful, aging cherubic face into a
helmet a lot of the movie. All his beautiful face

(03:34):
is squshed together towards his nose. He looks like it
keeps looking at every ten minutes. He's having a mass on,
you know, he said, that little round thing. And it's
great to see. No one looks great in a helmet.
Even Brad Pitt still looks like a do even at
the great level. But anyway, in one minute, he's racing
one lap to goes and suddenly v stapping comes on
the outside. Actually the stapping overtakes brad Pitt the best

(03:57):
line they can give him. Damn he's good. A maxicrn
said that yesterday a Saints are Damn they're good. Damn
he's good. However, there are certain things that only ever
happen in movie world and yesterday, how many times you've
seen this? In the movie characters can fall into a

(04:18):
deep sleep with the curtains open. How do they do
with that, like in the middle of the day, is it? No? No? No?
At nighttime? You know, at nighttime they wake up in
the morning, the curtains are still are still. Fully they
haven't drawn the curtains. It try And because it's like
formula one, they've got all these exotic locations. There's Singapore
and then there's Vegas that are on the strip, all
these bright lights. How is Brad new getting a solid

(04:41):
eight hours sleep to draw the curtains? Man, you're in
a five star penthal sweet that have blackout blinds. Yes,
it's in Vegas. They're all blackout. Yes, it's all the
blind Yes. So what only happens in movies? You see
in so many movies where the main characters no one
closes the curtains, and also any hotel reminding you're doing
that thing going now, there's still a bit of light

(05:01):
coming through? Is it? What is that like? What is it?
The modem? It's an alarm clock. You have to put
so many bits of clothing, socks, underpants over to make
sure it's blacked out. There's no way he's falling asleep
in Vegas with the curtains open, all right, So only
in the movies do you see? Give us a call?
Thirteen fifty five, twenty two. What only happens in the movies?
