The War on Cars

BONUS: Hollywood and Bikes, Take 2

Added 2023-05-30 10:01:01 +0000 UTC

Hello lovely patrons of The War on Cars!

We're closing out Bike Month with a surprise bonus episode — a bonus bonus episode? — that offers Sarah a chance to weigh in on a subject we covered in episode 103, "Why Does Hollywood Hate Bikes?" Sarah unfortunately couldn't join us for that one but had some shows she wanted to talk about, including one that deals specifically with cars and another that features a very tragic bike crash.* We also respond to listener feedback about some movies and shows we missed in the original episode, including a follow-up on Ted Lasso. Plus, Doug has a rant about Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Aaron theorizes about Succession.

By the way, a listener named Heidi emailed us to recommend the BBC comedy W1A, which has a lot of bike riding characters and, as Heidi pointed out, "Not one dismissive comment about London cycling." It looks great.

That's it for May! We are back in the studio today recording a new general-release episode that will be out next week.

Thanks as always for your support!

- Aaron, Sarah and Doug

*About that latter one. We absentmindedly forgot to mention the name of the British soap opera Sarah has been watching. It's The Split, which originally aired on the BBC and is available to stream on Hulu.
