About this episode
Ethan discusses the video game movie Gran Turismo and its surprising similarities to F1, highlighting its basis on a true story.
Ethan got Gran Turismo, a video game movie, into racing month?! He sure did and to his surprise, it's very very similar to F1, but with a key difference. It's actually based off a true story. Orlando Boom and David Harbour star in this epic tale of a kid who learned how to drive real race cars based on a video game. Oh excuse me it's not a video game, it's a racing simulator.
