Home Show The Art Of Racing In The Rain

Greetings, Empire Member and Orm Members.
If you are hearing the sound of my voice, you are greatly appreciated because at least once
in your life you have checked out the Clubhouse podcast live every Sunday night, seven Eastern
four Pacific on the focal now network.
You're one stop shop for all things pop culture because it's time for another home show.
Number 477 because every time we do one of these, it is to review something.
Welcome.
My name is Rob on the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast and whenever weather
conditions get extreme, just be careful, it's all I'm saying.
But I'm not alone for this particular episode, joining me in the co-host chair is going
to be the expert on multiple fronts about what we're going to talk about.
She is a lady of the house, she is a general and welcome friend.
Hello everyone and thank you for joining us.
Rounding out the day is the official fact checker of sooner or gator productions and
a man that won't buy a convertible because he'll forget to put the top up, if the sky
opens up.
You may know him as Igboonu, but his mom and even Don Ford, I'm going to call him Don
Ford.
Hey man.
Back and shared in Wyoming, we actually had the old blaze where we could take the top
off and we actually went during the summer to the lake with the top off, which was kind
of cool.
But I always wanted to get a BMW black convertible with a hard top thing for some reason.
I don't know why.
That's why.
All right.
Buy bucket list car.
Well, let's talk about Simon Curtis's latest film based on a very popular book.
It is the art of racing in the rain for start the whole thing.
Yes.
We got to thank Josh and our best friends.
All right.
Integrated marketing.
We love our vendors.
They let us see movies and stuff early so we've talked to you guys about them.
Now when I say general really knows about this on multiple fronts because because this book,
this book is turned into a movie, the movie is based on a book and general is the reader
of the bunch.
So let's just start there.
We're talking Milo Ventamilla, the voice of Kevin Costner, a man to say for you, Martin
Donovan, Gary Cole, Taffy Baker, basically this Milo is a Formula One racer and he adopts
a dog and he names Enzo, and so already makes Don mad.
And this is the adventures they have together.
Yes.
General.
Go.
I mentioned the book.
I did read the book back in 2010 with a large portion of the city of Richardson because they
have this thing Richardson reads one book and even the students in the junior high and the
high school are reading the books and the community is reading the books.
So I had read it back then and I have been waiting since then for it to be made into a
movie.
Now when you read the book where you like this has to be a movie or where you're like,
hey, this would be cool.
I was like, I really want them to make this into a movie and then I found that they were
already trying to and then it finally happened.
It's been tried three times.
So third times the charm.
All right.
Really pleased with how they translated it into a book or into the book into a movie.
You did the same thing I did.
How they translated the book into a movie.
They did a really good job with it.
They've got a good cast.
All right.
The fact that Milo is up in camera rather than a major no name like a I don't know if I
would say up and come or because you've got this as a she was a big part of heroes.
Well, but I mean, he's been TV to the big screen.
So big screen.
It's new.
It's not like a Tom Cruise.
Fair enough.
Or Dwayne Johnson.
I mean, those would have having someone that's not so known, I think, played well with
the part as well.
Okay.
Was it who you saw when you read the book of his someone of his ill?
Yeah.
Okay.
He fit in.
He fit in.
Amanda fit in with the character of Eve.
She did a really good job with that.
Inzo slash all of the dogs there and cast as the part of Inzo did a fantastic job.
Really, really impressed with how they did this.
There were some scenes that I was kind of like, okay, so how are you going to convey that
from the dog's perspective to the viewers perspective.
There's a scene where Inzo kind of has kind of a trippy dream.
Okay.
Something is Ibra.
Fair enough.
And I like how they played it out.
I like what they did with it.
So there's a lot of films that have been coming out like this lately, so like a dog's
life, a dog's journey.
How does this stack up there in?
So this one is the story of Inzo and Inzo had seen at one point a documentary about
Mongolia that good dogs can become human.
Okay.
And this becomes his goal.
And he wants to become human.
So it's very different in that it's life lessons for humans, things that humans can learn.
But it falls back on what he learns from his owner from being a Formula One race car driver.
Oh, so the two tie together?
That it does.
It ties it to the experiences of Milo's life on the track.
And he'll have conversations with Inzo about how to handle a car.
Milo have conversations with Eve and Inzo.
Here's them.
There's races going on in the background when they're having conversations, but it's pulling
these things to how to be a good human from the point of view of a dog watching life
happen.
Okay.
I also saw that Garstein is listed as a co-writer of this.
He was the writer of the book and then he was the co-writer of the screenplay.
So he did get a voice in it.
And I'm sure that's why it held true to the book for me.
On a scale of books you've read that have turned into films, where does it sit in that
ranking?
Is it closer to the top?
Close to the top?
Okay.
It's not the best of the ones I've ever seen, but I think those have, you know, pretty
in pink.
I read the book before I ever saw the movie and it was a generational thing.
But this was, I really was pleased with how they did this and it, and it wasn't like
the firm where it didn't, a whole lot of it didn't line up between the book and the
movie.
And I was glad I saw the movie before I read the book.
This I'm either way, you'll be fine.
So this is, and those inner dialogue, correct?
Yes.
So they don't try to do a deal where they try to make the animals talk.
So it's like, it's like that look who's talking thing more than anything.
Ish, yeah.
Okay.
Fair enough.
And he turns around and tries to have conversations with the people, you know, and of
course he's like, but they can't hear me.
But they need to hear this and how do I get their attention?
And yeah.
Kind of like Jackson is doing right now, she's just colliding with my ankles because he likes
to do that.
All right.
Anything that stood out for you specifically, I mean, this thing runs almost two hours.
It's an hour 49.
So it didn't feel that long.
Really?
It really did.
It had a good pace.
I don't remember any extremely slow parts that just kind of kept going.
It does take you through some different emotions.
So you know, be ready to laugh, be ready to cry.
And it's, it's just a feel good story at the end of it.
You know, there's moments in it was like, oh my gosh, I can't really believe this has
to happen to somebody, but it happens.
And then it's, you end up seeing the full circle of everything.
All right.
Don and they bring you.
So what age is it would you recommend it from?
From what age up?
Would you say like eight year olds or teens, you know, low teens or adults or?
I would say teens and up because of some of the life issues that get dealt with.
I mean, it's not a language thing.
It's not an adulty, adulty situation's happening.
But because of some things we go through in life, I don't know that younger children
will really appreciate or process correctly.
Okay.
All right.
Anything else for you?
Is the file analysis?
I think I'm good.
All right.
The way to do the file analysis on the show, we're not going to give you thumbs-up, thumbs-down
letters, numbers, anything, you know, treats.
Oh, shoot.
I shouldn't have said that real loud.
You're scatting this house.
They know that word.
They know that word.
They know that word.
They know that word.
We're going to ask, General, if the two questions, question number one is, would she
see this film again?
If the answer is no, we're done here.
But if the answer is yes, then the follow-up question is going to be how far would she
be willing to go to do so?
From the best of the best of the worst of the best, here's how it goes.
Full price at the theater, down to a twilight show, down to a matinee, down to early morning
on a weekend.
Then to the second one at the dollar theater, down to her, going to rent it at an establishment,
down to streaming on her favorite streaming foot device, or down to cable.
General, would you see the art of driving in the rain again?
I would see the art of racing in the rain again.
Drasing driving so soon.
I totally did all of this wrong.
So that's amazing.
You're just now going to correct me after nine and a half of minutes.
That was the first time you should race.
I did it.
Yeah.
You had it right at the other time.
Okay.
How far are you willing to go to see it?
I would go to a twilight.
Oh, okay.
Better off.
All right.
You've heard it from the source.
It is Simon Curtis is the art of racing in the rain.
