Episode 230: Drive
This week, Morgan and Gavia revisit Nicolas Winding Refn's instant-classic Drive (2011), starring Ryan Gosling as a getaway driver and Carey Mulligan as the neighbor with whom he becomes infatuated. Topics include the film's electric direction and iconic soundtrack, its dubious casting process, its provocative treatment of violence, and much more.
