This week on episode #164 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we review F1: The Movie, the massive racing blockbuster that’s been praised as one of the most technically impressive films in years. The racing sequences are incredible, the sense of speed is insane, and the craftsmanship is undeniable, but does the movie actually have anything meaningful to say underneath all that spectacle? We break down why F1 works so well on a technical level and whether the story and characters live up to the same standard.

We also talk about why modern horror marketing might actually be hurting the genre it claims to support, Netflix making what could be the most dangerous move in Hollywood right now, we debate whether cancel culture really killed comedy movies.
