Legends Podcast #639; Aug-Heist: Drive (2011)

Before he played Ken, Ryan Gosling portrayed a nameless driver in Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 film based on the James Sallis novel. When a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver gets romantically involved with his neighbor, he is drawn into a mobster’s plot and must use all his skills to stay alive. With an all-star cast including Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, and Albert Brooks, the film won Refn the Best Director award at Cannes. Opening in second place at the box office, the fim has gone on to become a mainstay in internet movie culture - the definition of “kino.” Now we’re donning our Scorpion jackets and stepping on the gas for Drive!
