Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. TFG1Mike and Gary Godsoe dive into Tom Cruise's 1990 racing film Days of Thunder. They discuss the cast, the real-life NASCAR driver who inspired Cole Trickle, how the movie launched NASCAR into mainstream popularity, and debate its accuracy—especially that infamous "Rubbing is Racing" line. The hosts also cover the film's soundtrack, its Academy Award nomination for sound mixing, and the video games it spawned.
