FERRARI MOVIE REVIEW
It’s been 8 years since his last film Blackhat and Michael Mann is finally back in the director’s chair with his newest film, Ferrari. The film follows ex-racer and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari, played here by an aged up Adam Driver, during a tumultuous summer in 1957 where he jungles his auto-empire and love lifes. Like most of Mann’s lead protagonists, Driver plays Ferrari as a stoic conflicted character trying to steer away from the real problems at hand, his marriage and affair. His wife Laura, played by Penelope Cruz who steals every scene she’s in, runs the financial end of the company while Enzo tries to right the crumbling company by focusing on winning the treacherous Mille Miglia 1,000 mile race. At the same time, Enzo devotes some of his time to his mistress Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley) and their son. He’s a busy guy to say the least. As Laura uncovers Enzo’s secrets, he is driven to harsh realities and decisions he needs to make. This is less of a fast-car-vroom-vroom kind of movie and more of a complicated-man-trying-to-have-his-cake-and-eat-it-too kind of flick. Listen as Wright, Nathan, Marco, and Eric navigate the windy roads that is Ferrari and discuss whether or not this is a next great Mann film or if it crashes and burns by the end.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Trash in the Can, Audio Editor)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad)
A recent transplant to Austin originally hailing from the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Midwest, Nathan Flynn has been a movie super freak since he saw “An American Werewolf in London” way too young and grew up worshipping the James Bond franchise and all things related to Cold War-era spycraft. When he’s not watching movies and being a constant defender of the Tron franchise, he can be found practicing his second biggest love: cooking (having been a chef for 10+ years) and hitting his head up against a desk to write screenplays that nobody reads. He also spearheads his own podcast on the Mission Impossible franchise titled “Mission: Impodible”. He can be found rarely posting on his personal twitter.
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“You don’t need to follow me. You don’t need to follow anybody!”
Eric Samaniego (Trash in the Can)
Eric is a multi-award show watching, sometimes comedian, sometimes writer that began life as a Muppet and 1930’s screwball comedy obsessed goon and continues to carry a torch for all things felt and funny. With a passion for genre films, poor taste, and whiskey, he and co-conspirator, Wright Sulek, indulge in the best/worst films the world has to offer with One of Us’s podcast, ‘Trash in the Can’. When not podding, Eric works as an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797.
