This week, Todd and Dom strap in for high-speed drama, American grit, and a whole lot of engine growl as they dig into Ford v Ferrari — James Mangold’s sleek and emotionally charged look at one of the most iconic rivalries in racing history.

Starring Matt Damon as legendary car designer Carroll Shelby and Christian Bale as hot-headed racing prodigy Ken Miles, the film chronicles Ford’s scrappy quest to dethrone Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans race. But beneath the roaring engines and tight turns lies a surprisingly human story about passion, corporate politics, and the cost of greatness.

Todd and Dom break down how Ford v Ferrari balances technical spectacle with strong character work, what makes the racing sequences feel so immersive, and how the film manages to turn a business rivalry into an emotional gut-punch. Plus, they look at what the film gets right (and wrong) from a production standpoint — from practical effects to period detail.

Is it a racing movie, a buddy drama, or a stealth critique of capitalism? Maybe all three. Start your engines — and hit play.
