Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) jumps back into their guest chair for a breakdown of Drive, the 2011 neo-noir crime thriller film about an L.A. stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals. Ryan Gosling’s auramaxxing, what qualifies as neo-noir, the strange misogyny that’s given off by issues like NWR’s original goal of casting a porn star as Blanche, and the horrible-person-to-regular-person ratio in Baby Driver comprise some of the talking points for this episode.
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Oscar Isaac, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Kaden Leos, James Biberi, Jeff Wolfe, and Russ Tamblyn.
