Triple Take

#18 F1, James Bond News, New Michael Bay Transformers

• Studio 97 • Season 1 • Episode 18

This week on Triple Take, Jacob and Zach dive headfirst into some massive movie news, chaotic trailers, and one extremely fast (and extremely fake) Formula 1 movie.

🔥 News Highlights:

  • Denis Villeneuve is rumored to direct the next James Bond film. Jacob’s all in—but wants a return to the Connery-era camp.
  • Aaron Sorkin is officially writing and directing The Social Network 2. Zach’s intrigued. Jacob’s nervous.
  • Michael Bay is back for another Transformers movie. Jacob’s take? “Cinematic muscle memory.”

🎬 Trailer Talk:

  • Fantastic Four: Final trailer drops with beardy Ben Grimm, stretchy Reed, and Galactus in full “Galactussy” mode.
  • Roofman: Channing Tatum stars in a bizarre true crime tale about Toys“R”Us, McDonald’s, and freezers.
  • Eden: Ron Howard brings an all-star cast to the Galapagos.
  • Bugonia: Yorgos. Emma. Plemons. Aliens. Weirdness guaranteed.

🏎️ Movie of the Week:
F1: The Movie gets the full pit stop treatment. Jacob calls it “cliché overload” but still can’t look away. From Zimmer’s booming score to Bardem’s scene-stealing and plastic-faced Brad Pitt, it's all gas, no brakes. Is it Top Gun on wheels or a glorified Apple ad? Maybe both.

🎭 Discussion Question:
Who would you cast as the next James Bond?
