About this episode

The episode discusses the film Chariots of Fire and its significance in Oscar history and racing movies.

Chariots of Fire marks when Oscar season bleeds into our new month all about racing movies! This movie won Best Picture in 1982, but Mike's dad said the movie was just about a bunch of guys racing. Is this movie based on a true story about how two guys brought glory to England through running in the Olympic games actually good? Or is this another Crash, Green Book, or Driving Miss Daisy.
