EPISODE SIXTEEN: IT AIN'T SO SWEET, LOOKING BACK ON IT

The Gearheads attempt to enjoy the first "Film Friday" episode, and in honor of this being the first week of Summer, made a grave error.

We watched "Corvette Summer."

Three of the Gearheads rented it on Amazon; one went right on ahead and purchased it on iTunes. Buyer's remorse? You'll have to listen to the episode to see just how deep that rabbit hole goes. There's nostalgia, kitsch, and, well, this movie. It makes you wonder if they had stuck with the title The Hot One, or its working title Stingray (which was registered for another cruddy film that also had a Corvette).

IT'S AN INTERACTIVE EPISODE – HOW THIS ALL WORKS

You can join the Gearheads, and watch along with us! Simply grab a copy of the movie, cue that bad boy up as described in the podcast (get your copy of the movie to the ten-second mark, and let 'er rip when we do!), and enjoy. We'd suggest having a beverage handy, and leaving your expectations outdoors. If you haven't seen this one in a while, you may have some preconceived notions about what it's like.

So did we.

Note the lack of spoilers. Or far-too-easy Star Wars references. We will say that, coincidentally enough, one of the stars of this film went on to play a part in Steven J. Cannell's TV series Stingray. We know, right?!

Full notes on the website this week. Well, except for Brad. There's just more than should probably go here, or that we should try to make fit.

Enjoy the movie. Or us. Or have someone run the vacuum. Your call, really.
