with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's Later with Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
Here comes Mark Ronner with the Runner Report. Tonight F
one the movie not to be mistaken for F one.
The emphasis is key here and as I mentioned a
couple of days ago, it's not a movie about one
of your function keys. It's a movie about Formula one
racing with Brad Pitt. Here's some of the trailer.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
See like straight, straight and narrow, No sugar, Why are
you here? Sonny?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
When you look in the mirror, you see this rough
and tumble old school cowboy, doesn't take orders, goes his
own way. Huh A lone wolf.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Well, I've news for you. Formula one is a team sport.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It always was.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Listen, let's get this straight. We all lose our jobs
if you can't run up a miracle, no pressure. The
only question here is why does Sonny Hayes come back
to F one?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I think it's really a apex have given second chances
to the ol donate Why did he come back? And
can he pull off the miracle? F one? The movie
is more than two and a half hours, so have that.
Brad Pitt plays a race car driver, as you heard
in the trailer, who's been sort of bumming around for
thirty years after a traumatic event Capital T Capital E
(02:20):
and he's recruited by Javier Bardam to help save his
failing race team with a cocky, up and coming young
driver played by Damson Idris in what I think is
his first big film role after plenty of TV work.
In that sense, F one is a little like the Natural,
but for people who like to watch cars go around
in circles for hours and may have more tattoos than teeth.
And before you say f me about mocking race fans,
(02:43):
I've driven a formula race car for a newspaper story.
I've covered the first brickyard four hundred in Indianapolis. I
have earned the right to this mockery. I even had
some dental issues of my own recently, but not of
the leanne rhymes variety. If you're only watching on the
live stream hoping the choppers are going to get launched
across the room, I'm afraid they're still attached actress. The
(03:03):
Irish actress Kerry Condon, who you heard in the trailer.
Remember her from the Banshees of Innesseron. If you haven't
seen that, watch it. She plays the engineer in this
movie and hookup interest of Pitt, who's nearly twenty years
her elder. They have one f She makes everything she's
in better. F one's directed by the perpetrator of top
gun maverick, Joseph Kozinski. Oh and you might be able
(03:25):
to guess that even if nobody told you just from
watching this Formula Race movie is similarly say with me
formulaic and Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes is, as you heard
in the trailer, a bit of a maverick, a loose cannon.
He takes too many risks. He's also an old school
type who's not down with the new ways of doing everything.
(03:48):
He lives in a van. His young teammate has a
super mode apartment. He goes jogging with the crew, the
young guys hooked up to equipment and simulators and stuff.
You get a chat if you can look at that
scene that I think is in the trailers with Pitt
and the younger guy nearly coming to brow blows and
you better get your head screwed on right argument and
(04:09):
not either laugh or grown. This movie may be for you,
damn it, mo. It's not just your career you're messing
with here, it's mine too it how's that? Okay? F
You was also written by Aaron Kruger, who wrote Top Gun,
Maverick as well as some Transformer movies. So let's just
be clear eyed about what we're doing with Arlington Road
(04:30):
as well. He does some good stuff. Don't you defend him?
Don't have your chances. What I'm saying is that this
is not material that requires a lot of your brain's
processing power and bandwidth. Okay, I got to cut to
the chase here, especially after that interruption, so to speak.
F one looks good, especially on a big screen. It's
(04:50):
a popcorn movie, but it is a drag so to speak.
We're hauling out all the cliches here. It's a marginally
enjoyable crowd pleaser of a movie, but it's way too long.
There's absolutely nothing special about the bare bones, generic story.
And even if you happen to sort of passively like
it in the moment when the camera is whipping from
the track, back to pit at the Wheel, which is
(05:13):
kind of a cool thing. The movie will not be
remembered as any kind of storytelling masterpiece. The dialogue sucks.
In fact, even if you really just like looking at
sixty one year old Brad Pitt, F one mainly just
feels like a product. Here's your pull quote, publicist. F
one kind of a big skid mark. Now look, I
like cars. I love movie car chase scenes, and I've
(05:34):
written about them, which you can google. We could do
a whole show just on those. Bullet's been on my
mind lately because Lalo Schiffrin, the composer of that, passed
away yesterday. But apparently it's hard to make a whole
racing movie that's good. Apparently. I love Steve McQueen, and
his Leman movie sucks. I love Michael Mann, but his
(05:55):
Ferrari movie also sucks. You're gonna throw Days of Thunder
at me? And to that, I say, and versus Ferrari
was good? Yes, it was. And now that I'm thinking
of it, Talladega Knights might yeah, the best racing movie probably, yes.
And because filmmakers have such a hard time making anything
(06:16):
interesting about driving around on a track for hours, That's
why Death Rays two thousand is an immortal masterpiece. And
I will fight you over that. Isn't that Carrody? Yeah? Yeah.
Paul Bartel was the director, David Carridine was the star,
and young Sylvester Stallone also be careful driving home after
watching F one. Just like after when you've been playing
(06:37):
a video race game, you do not respawn after you crash,
and you cannot afford the kind of healthcare that Pitt
and Idris receive in the movie. Now, I know you
guys are going to see it regardless of what I say,
but you've been warned as of right now. Yeah, I'm
going to see it. Okay, this was pointless? No, what
are you giving a reviewer or a warning? I mean
(06:59):
it's both, It's both. It's like, that's all these are? Hap?
Is it kind of slow though?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Like outside of the racing, because that's I mean, that's
all I could go for anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Uh, Well, like I said, there's the whole script is
just a delivery device for the racing. See the race oka,
and so if you actually pay attention to what they're
saying and doing between the racing scenes, which are really
frenetically shot and cut it's crap. I mean, you're gonna
see if you look on Rotten Tomatoes, it's got a
(07:30):
pretty good rating. I think last time I looked this morning,
it was something like eighty three percent positive. I'm in
the minority of that's up from thirty three thirty three
percent positive. That was really low to eighty three. Well, okay,
that's news to me. But well right now it's it's
it's got a vastly positive review. I am one of
(07:50):
the outliers. But if you go down the list and
you look at the reasons people say they like it,
you're talking about like a bunch of chimps who are
who are fascinated by an am being hung in front
of them and shaken around by somebody. What I'm saying is,
you can trust me. You cannot trust eighty three percent
of the critics in the United States. Let's see.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's a perfect example. It is a highly publicized movie.
Everyone knows about the movie because of Runner's report. I
don't feel the need to run to the theater to
see it, but I'll watch it thirty five forty days
from now, where it'll show up on Apple TV because
it's an Apple Film's production. So that's where we'll end up. Well,
(08:32):
this is the frustrating thing about it. It's a movie
that was made to be seen on a big screens.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
What I was thinking. But if you you know, if
you're interested in using your brain at all, you know,
so it's a popcorn movie. But you can have popcorn
movies that aren't for morons and buy morons. Wow, wows
how you really? It sounds so personal like something. Oh no,
(08:57):
let's be clear. I take insults to my intelligence personally.
I you know, if I take the time to drive
to a movie and pay to see it. I pay
to see these movies. I don't go to the free
screenings like all the other critics. I pay like a
normal human being. So if it's bad, I take it personally.
You have ruined half my day.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But see, that goes back to what we were talking
about earlier in the future of the movie theater going experience.
If for you to take it personally when you see
a bad movie, you're probably disinclined to go to the
movies all that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Often the choices are a lot harder than they used
to be. I mean, as we've said before, you used
to just decide, Hey, We're going to the movies on
Friday night, and you didn't really necessarily have one in mind.
You just picked one, but not anymore. So I don't
like that anymore. Those times are over. So f this movie.
