This week on Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan lock and load for Kathryn Bigelow’s Blue Steel (1990), a slick, gritty psychological thriller that’s equal parts neo-noir and cop drama. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as a rookie NYPD officer who faces off against a Wall Street sociopath obsessed with her—and her service weapon. The hosts dive into Bigelow’s stylish direction, the film’s gender politics, and how Blue Steel stands out in a sea of ’90s thrillers with its unnerving atmosphere and explosive performances. Prepare for some serious firepower.
