Drive

The western world has never been able to let go of the 1980s. For the last 3 decades we’ve been revisiting that time in our history, trying to recapture the magic.If you combined Michael Mann, Walter Hill and a Paul Schrader script with entirely too many ellipses you might get something like Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 film ‘Drive.’The film stirred up a modernised 80s nostalgia that that was represented perfectly by the musical genre Synthwave.In this episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom we discuss Drive and it’s influential soundtrack, fawn over Ryan Gosling and argue about Albert Brooks.
