Featuring special guest Abbie Phelps (https://twitter.com/goodhunterabbie)! DRIVE ANGRY is not a very good movie. In fact, it’s kind of a piece of shit. But like a lot of piece of shit movies, it’s far more charming, fun, and likeable than the sum of its parts would lead you to believe. Nic Cage is John Milton (yeah), a man back from hell who seeks revenge on cult leader Jonah King (yeah) for killing his daughter and kidnapping his granddaughter in pursuit of netherworldly gain. Piper (Amber Heard) is honestly just kind of caught up in it, but eventually she makes it her sworn mission to help Milton. If at this point in the summary, you get stuck on questions like “why,” maybe it’s not for you. That’s okay.
