Episode 89: Grand Prix + Hairpin Circus
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
It's time to watch some fast cars on film, driving dangerously around narrow streets by square-jawed men (and women) tortured by the existential horror of modern life. Sakana joins us to discuss John Frankenheimer's high octane epic, Grand Prix (1966), followed by Hairpin Circus (1972), directed by Kiyoshi Nishimura.
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Grand Prix by skipping ahead to the 1:24:59 mark, and for Hairpin Circus by skipping ahead to 1:58:45 .
