Show Notes
We take a detour from our usual world of film and TV to welcome a NASCAR legend (a term he's still getting used to) Jimmie Johnson to the show.
Along the way we discuss how he kept a winning mindset to become one of the sport's all-time greats, life after full-time racing and how an elite American athlete ended up in a gym full of actors in London.
He also talks us through his brief run-in with Hollywood and his work with Will Ferrell on the NASCAR parody Talladega Nights.

Our latest guest has range. From appearances in some of the biggest biopics of all time, to starring in Wolf Alice videos and finding the time to perfect roly polys Lucy Boyton has it all. And every last inch of those talents (and the embarrassing mishaps/ crossed wires along the way) are covered in this week's podcast.
This week we're joined by actor/ writer/ Overcompensating creator model/ Mary Beth Barone's muse Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama).
'Two actors and a rugby player join a zoom call' sounds like the start of a really rubbish joke, but it's actually the beginning of a very special conversation.
