Episode 75 – Who Will Win in Ford v. Ferrari?

Ford v. Ferrari

Today we are talking about Ford v Ferrari, the 2019 film about “American car designer, Carol Shelby and driver Ken Miles who battle corporate interference and the laws of physics to build a revolutionary race car for Ford in order to defeat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.” (Source: IMDB.com) The film stars Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Berntthal, and Josh Lucas. Ford v Ferrari is a classic Hollywood tale with a star studded Hollywood cast to accompany it. It is an American story that describes the men that built this country to be what it is today.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• The cast
• The race scenes
• Great show, don’t tell
• A touch long but well worth the sad (spoiler) ending
• Maybe a bit too long but compelling
