Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Episode 108 – Plows, Bots and BoltsFeb 14, 2026

A loose BMW gripe, sharpened by shop humor and a useful Mercedes contrast.

Episode 108 starts in easy banter, then turns into a gripe about BMW design and how ordinary repairs get harder than they should be. The BMW screw patent bit works because the hosts keep circling the same blunt question: what is this for, beyond brand ego?

Episode 106 - 5th Gen Mods and SCC 2025 with JacobNov 22, 2025

Loose, specific car talk that turns trail use and skid plates into the point.

The piece moves with an easy, familiar looseness, starting with fifth gen mods, SCC 2025, and Jake Irish back on the mic. Its opening banter is part of the charm, but the real weight comes from the grounded talk about trail use, truck history, and the upgrades that matter when a…

Episode 104 – More Power, Smart Cars and PopcornSep 13, 2025

Throwin' Wrenches turns Supra speculation, winter-driving misery, and old-car memories into an easygoing car chat.

Throwin' Wrenches starts with banter, then settles into the car talk that gives it shape: Supra speculation, talk of bringing smart back to the USA, and the question of paying monthly for more horsepower.

Episode 102 – Beach Party IcelandJul 1, 2025

A loose garage hangout that moves from museum trivia to the cars still getting attention.

Throwing Wrenches starts with housekeeping and a YouTube announcement, then settles into a candid stretch about the cars that still manage to draw attention.

Episode 90 - CARSTAR North Peoria with Jack AllisonJul 9, 2024

An auto body shop conversation about trust, culture, and making the work human.

A long opening stretch gives way to Jack Allison at Car Star of Peoria, and the talk settles into auto body and collision repair as a business built on trust, culture, and keeping the shop human.

Episode 89 – Furia Malibu BluesJun 15, 2024

A loose, car-nerd farewell to the Malibu and GM's sedan era.

The Chevy Malibu sits at the center of this one, but the conversation keeps widening into GM's sedan era and the way platform sharing shaped it.

TW 85 - Brockett BuiltJan 16, 2024

A grounded shop conversation about fabrication, welding, and the path from school programs into shop work.

Marcus Brockett's shop gets the spotlight, and the conversation uses that setting well. It moves from fabrication and welding to school shop classes and the path from high school programs into real shop work, so the discussion feels grounded.

Episode 84 – Christmas, Compressors & Cupholder French FriesDec 20, 2023

A Christmas garage hangout that folds policy talk and movie gripes into easy listening.

Throwin' Wrenches closes out 2023 with an easy garage-hangout rhythm. Seasonal banter, a list-driven holiday special, and a run through EV mandates, cheaper cars, and the gap between policy goals and what consumers actually want to buy all stay in view.
