The legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock, Top Gun) and ace director (and returning guest) Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun Maverick) join Stephen Follows to talk their latest movie F1.

From launching careers and creating timeless hits like "Flashdance" and the original "Beverly Hills Cop" – and its recent hit sequel, "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" – to the iconic dogfights in "Top Gun" – and let's not forget the absolute juggernaut that was "Top Gun: Maverick" – Jerry Bruckheimer knows how to make movies that hit hard and stay with you!

With a career that spans over five decades and an eye-watering $16 billion at the worldwide box office, Jerry is not just a producer; he's practically a cinematic institution. His projects are all about that sleek style, that relentless energy, and that incredible knack for knowing exactly what audiences want. He's the force behind countless films and shows that have shaped modern cinema, a true visionary who understands how to deliver pure, unadulterated entertainment.

And joining Jerry today, we have the visionary director who, in my humble opinion, is one of the most exciting filmmakers working right now! This is Joseph Kosinksi a director who's consistently pushed the boundaries of visual storytelling, known for his meticulous design, breathtaking practical effects blended seamlessly with cutting-edge CGI, and an incredible knack for capturing speed and intensity on screen like no other in "TRON: Legacy" , the sci-fi mystery of "Oblivion" and "Only the Brave" And of course, he absolutely blew us away with "Top Gun: Maverick".More recently, he directed the compelling Netflix sci-fi thriller "Spiderhead."

Now, he's once again teaming up with Jerry Bruckheimer to bring us back to the racetrack for what promises to be one of the most immersive racing films ever made: "F1." This highly anticipated movie, which he directed, was written by Ehren Kruger from a story by himself and Kruger. The legendary Claudio Miranda, also from "Top Gun: Maverick,"
