Senna
Summary
This week, the guys take a listener request and talk about the 2010 documentary Senna, director Asif Kapadia's look at three-time Formula One champion Ayrton Senna. You could fill libraries with what Mike and Dan don't know about Formula One--so they were the perfect people to go into this cold. The film and its subject won them over in minutes and they talk in this episode about the challenge of dramatizing the desire to be a champion, the ways in which the film could have gone wrong, and the relationship between humility and dignity. So get into that McLaren MP4/5 and listen to this as you win the Grand Prix!
