Of course, when you think of David Cronenberg, the King of Body Horror, you also think of drag-racing melodrama. Well, that's what happened in 1979, with his third feature as a director, Fast Company.

For this episode, Nick and Chris welcome their first guest on the program, Richard Lippert. He's an actor, a champion race car driver, and a stunt driver and stunt driving instructor, among many other really cool things; so he brings some awesome insights about the world of auto racing to the show that a couple of nerds like Nick and Chris would never know.

But what about the movie? Cronenberg. Funny cars. Beer and brawls on the back-country roads of Montana. Does it work? Tune in with Nick, Chris, and Richard to find out.
