Episode 187 - Ford v Ferrari / Le Mans ’66 (feat. BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander)

On your marks... get set... technical difficulties!  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Georgia (Megan and Ethan weren't Ford type people) as we're heading to rural France in search of a 3 minute perfect lap and do our best to go 24 hours in reviewing it. We're all just trying to keep up with the leader as BFF of the BFE, Hermes Auslander blasts ahead regardless of the RPM count. We don't have Ethan or Megan to blame it on in our 187th episode as we discuss:

• Damon vs Bale - who's the better actor?
• Why did this film need 2 different titles in English speaking markets?
• Who were initially signed up to play the leads in an earlier draft?
• Don't ask me how but we got onto the Cuban Missile Crisis and the ongoing trade embargo somehow (the yellow button is ready for next week)
• We've got some technical gremlins in this episode and they're not quick fixes but we do power through - stay tuned for the longest BFE coda ever
• Hermes joins us and tries to rename the podcast
• Ian once again tries to re-write the ending of a film - He'd argue it's better
• We go over our chicken wing challenge in Cambridge and reveal who ate the most
• Whether or not Ford v Ferrari / Le Mans '66 is the Best Film Ever
