Live From Radiator SpringsCar ChildrenWhat do Cars look like as children? We don’t see many child cars in the universe, but they DO exist. John Lasseter, you opened MANY cans of
worms in Cars 2, why not this one??
Are there car seats for the children cars, or do cars do just pull their baby cars behind them, like a trailer? Are there training wheels that you use when learning to drive on the real roads? Also… school busses. Mrs. Fritter opened a whole big can of worms! Do they ride in the school bus, or does the school bus escort them...2023-06-1634 minLive From Radiator SpringsAgriCARture
We all know the most iconic food scene in the Cars trilogy –
Mater eating pistachio ice cream in Cars 2. Where are they getting that dairy? Is
ice cream plant based?? Do tractors produce milk???
Cars 2 also has sushi and an acknowledgement to crabs. What
other fish exist, and which are their favs?? And what about lug nuts in drinks?
Are they boba or ice?? Are electric cars vegans???
Speaking of agriculture - Radiator Springs must be an agricultural
center, or else it would’ve been dead years ago… thoughts?
“These are...2023-04-2133 minLive From Radiator SpringsMater's Tall TalesWhat if we kissed at Flos? We review all 14 of Mater’s Tall Tales, but at what cost? Join us as we dig deep into each short to analyze what plot holes they bring to the Cars Universe.
“If you’d rather spend 45 minutes listen to us dissect these shorts & pretend we know car parts instead of spending 25 minutes just watching them, you’re in the right place!”
First off - hats exist in the car universe. Why would a car need a hat?? This definitely possesses a human influence here. Also, how do cars propose...2023-02-2736 minLive From Radiator SpringsMusic of the Cars UniverseWelcome Race Fans to season 2! You signed up for content, not consistency, so after a long hiatus, we are back! In this episode we debate all the music in the universe. Who wrote the soundtracks? How big did “Life is a Highway” get? Can Mater move a harpsichord??
“Car Verdi, Puccini?? Car Wagner?? Wagner died in 1883, the car was invented on Jan 29th 1886. Wagner must’ve been a sentient horse drawn carriage if you follow that school of thought.”
All cars that play musical instruments are shaped like Guido, having those arms that can hold things, al...2022-11-0428 min
Live From Radiator SpringsNick the Cars VirginIts not everyday you meet a trombonist. Its even more not everyday that you meet one that has yet to see ANY of the Cars trilogy. What has he been doing all his life?? He even has extensive experience driving a car. Sus.
But believe it or not, he brings some fresh perspectives to our most hot button questions.
Can Nick play life is a highway on trombone? Does knowledge of Tow-Mater stretch beyond JUST seeing the films? What really goes on inside a mind of a Cars virgin?
“Nick I will say, we...2022-05-1836 minLive From Radiator SpringsSexism in the Cars UniverseThere’s a lot of toxic masculinity within this whole universe because it’s Cars… it’s a movie stereotypically for dudes. Racing is a big boys club. And looking at Radiator Springs, it's mostly all men. Is this indicative of the whole universe?
Engineering (or breeding depending on your theology) Cars to be faster than the old models is a big arch of Cars 3. This raises a lot of questions - are there gender differences in athleticism? NASCAR is the only sport not divided by gender in the real world.
Are there sports besides racing...2022-04-1331 minLive From Radiator SpringsThe Fabulous Hudson HornetDoc Hudson is the only mention of car death in the car universe (besides Stanley, the statue in Radiator Springs, who is a very old Car). In this episode, we accelerate deep into the backstory of Doc Hudson and look at some very important questions, including that Cars video games are a critical part of the Cars universe.
After Paul Newman’s death before Cars 2, Doc Hudson disappears from the movies, leaving many questions about his backstory. In the Cars video games, we meet some essential characters to help flesh out the Doc Hudson story. We discover he...2022-02-2331 minLive From Radiator SpringseCARnomyHow has Radiator Springs stayed financially sound when they complain they never get tourists or visitors? How are they paying rent? What is their currency?? In this episode, we’re joined by our first ever guest, Cars Historian Peter, to dig deep into economics, the justice system and government in the cars universe.
“There’s going to be greedy weird cars, just like there are greedy weird people.”
When discussing government, we must acknowledge an at least two pollical parties of the universe – RepubliCars & DemiCars. There are also lots of very capitalist illusions in the movies, im...2022-01-1945 minLive From Radiator SpringsCars ReligionTo start the conversation of Cars religion, we first need to lay out two core theories of the overall universe. Is the Cars universe parallel to ours, or did it come after humanity in a machine-based expression? A lot of our discussion depends on what side of the wheel you’re on here.
“The Cars imitate humans in so many ways. Like, how did you pick that up? You don’t have thumbs, you have wheels. They talk with their wheels!”
In the movies, most references are purely historic. Are they practicing religion or just imitatin...2021-11-2438 min
Live From Radiator SpringsAre Cars Born or Built?What came first – gas or the car? Do you evolve as you age? Midlife crisis? If young cars can drive... why do they need a school bus? Join Sofia, Dasha and Sophie on this inaugural episode of our podcast!
“This scratched an itch in my soul”
There are three perspectives on the souls of cars – factory made, born and hybrid. The more our hosts debate each perspective, the deeper the theories get. How do they grow? Age? Give birth? All these questions and more are answered.
