In this episode, we don't review a move! Instead, Marty tries to watch the Lamborghini movie, Chris does some research on how to help YouTubers reach more viewers and we discuss why Ted Kravtiz is vital to Sky's F1 coverage.

But first, B is for Build has posted a carefully worded summary of the court cases surrounding licensing for Eleanor builds. Girardo and Co and Fiskens are selling cars in Paris connected to the movie Le Mans, and Johnny Herbert and Paul di Resta are no longer presenting on Sky F1.

Since the last episode Marty tried watching the Lamborghini movie and it didn't go well, Mat Armstrong is trying to rebuild a 992 GT3 and Mighty Car Mods are literally overnighting parts from Japan.

Chris enjoyed the behind the scenes look at broadcasting the 2021 British Grand Prix on F1 TV, but it was this video from JayEmmoncars that sparked the question of what viewers can do to help support YouTube creators they like. The big takeaways were:

• The best thing you can do is personally share and recommend videos. This helps creators find like minded viewers and will help grow their audience.
• Listen to creators. If they are pushing their merch, Patreon, brand sponsors or other sales, this is them telling you how their business is supported.
• Liking, commenting and subscribing may be a cliche, but it does help. By subscribing to channels, it does help them find sponsors and set rates accordingly.

A huge thanks for James Martin and Misha Charoudin for their input, as well as Attache Travel, Super Rider and more for their honest insight.

In 'What Is Henry Catchpole Up To This Week?' news, he's squeezed his tall frame into a little Caterham and shown that less can still be engaging and exciting on video.

For his YouTube picks, Chris went with the Launch Control: Road to Gymkhana 2022 series, looking at what it takes to shoot a Gymkhana film and keep the car running. For his channel choices, a big thanks to James Martin and Misha Charoudin for this support.

Marty went with the Smoking Tire reviewing the 911 Dakar and his channel pick was the always great Doug Demuro but especially now he's bought and reviewed his all time dream car - Thiiiiis is the Carrera GT.

We choose to accept the mission to review Mission: Impossible 2 and Mission: Impossible 3, Chris talks us through the new US F1 TV rights and wonders exactly who is paying the bills at Drivetribe these days, while Marty reviews the latest series of Top Gear and learns about a very special Porsche 911 in Japan.

But first, Variety reports that Keanu Reeves is planning a documentary about the Brawn GP Formula 1 team. Whoa.

The Formula 1 TV rights have been sold to ESPN in the US, for many dollars.

There's a second series of Richard Hammond’s Workshop commissioned, and the Grand Tour have been filming a new special in Poland. We should see that in around 6 months, just in time for Christmas.

This episode's reviews are Mission: Impossible 2 (a bit cack but good car chases) and 3 (really good, but not enough orange Lamborghini). We'll be doing the later, crazier Mission films in the next couple of episodes.

In 'What has Henry Catchpole Been Up To This Week?', Henry has been arguing with himself about the Lamborghini Huracan STO and reviewing the Morgan Super 3.

Chris's YouTube pick is a mini-documentary about the 2022 Nürburgring 24H from Misha Charoudin who has been crushing it with excellent content of late, and highlights Brad Philpot's YouTube channel which is full of similarly excellent F1 stuff.

Marty chose a video about a rather special Porsche 911, which turns out to also be a fascinating look at late 80s and early 90s car culture in Japan, detailing the exploits of the infamous Mid Night Club, and highlights the channel the video came from too.

This podcast episode will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

In this episode, Chris and Marty talk about the movies featuring the Greatest and possibly the Greatest Underdog. Elsewhere, they discuss the a proper barn find and revisit one of the worst racing films ever.

In the last episode we discussed a movie list from Mark Kermode but we mixed up our 'Crash'es. As an act of penance, please go and check out the Secrets of Cinema series on iPlayer.

There is a great, if short, story of the 'Thorndyke Special' from The Love Bug as actually discovered in a barn!

Marshall Pruett has done a deep, deep dive into Driven. Stunningly, worrying detailed.

In this episode Marty has gone in depth with A Life of Speed: The Juan Manuel Fangio Story, while Chris watched Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story

For our online picks, Chris got in first choosing Ratarossa's Abandoned Ferrari F40 Treasure Hunt, while also recommending Jonny Smith's CarPervert channel, congrats on 100k subscribers!

Marty chose Hard Cell episode 1 which is currently free to watch, though not on YouTube. What is on YouTube though is the VHS Rallies channel for some nostalgic fun.

In this episode, Chris and Marty talk about the movies they show their kids, including Pixar's Cars and Disney's The Love Bug. Elsewhere, they discuss the merits of online racing and get lost in a 911 tangent.

Mark Kermode has produced a great, interesting list of car films to watch.

New on Motortrend is Hard Cell with Tom Ford, looking at all things EV. A free trial of MotorTrend TV is available.

For this episode we're looking at kids movies, with Martin talking all things Cars, while Chris revisits his very early youth watching The Love Bug.

For our online picks, Martin went with WEC 6 Hours of Silverstone 2015 - the 40-minute battle for the lead between the evil diesel Audi R18 and the righteous Porsche 919. There's a slightly pirate-y link, and an official highlights package on YouTube.

Martin recommends the Hillclimb Monsters Youtube channel as one to watch.

Chris has gone for Mclaren Tooned series 2, 50th anniversary. If, however, you love the retro VW life and fancy following a story round the world then Kombi Life is the channel for you.

In this episode, Chris and Marty get geeky about Formula 1 with a deep dive into the latest season of Netflix's Drive to Survive, plus reviews of both 1966's Grand Prix and 2013's F1: Life on the Limit.

But first, Fast 9 is gearing up for release with a rather silly trailer, Motortrend TV is closing outside the US and becoming part of Discovery+ (and you can get 12 months subscription to Discovery+ free in the UK with Sky VIP), and we give our thoughts on season 3 of the Netflix hit Drive to Survive!

In this episode Chris is finally watching John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix (1966) for the first time, and Marty revisits an old favourite documentary 1: Life on the Limit.

In 'What has Henry Catchpole been up to this week?' the answer is driving the rather pretty Peugeot 508.

For their YouTube picks, Chris went with a Behind the Scenes video on the Driftworks Lamborghini GT1 inspired Murcielago, and if you haven't watched the Driftworks channel it is well worth a look. Marty chose the excellent, though largely overlooked, Alex Brundle racing classics, and while his channel pick is the Tavarish sister channel Wrench Every Day.
