Last Call At Torchy’s #2 : The Driver 1978

The regulars from Torchy’s are back for another round with Walter Hill’s sophomore effort The Driver. This stars Ryan O’Neal as a wheelman for hire who’s never been caught and Bruce Dern as The Detective hot on his heels who will go to any length to get his man. We discuss going against type, the film’s influence on the modern action film and “failed” attempts at the perfect car chase. W/ Lee Russell, Cameron Scott and Gary Hill. Special thanks to Peter Pedro Osmond for the Torchy’s art and Jeffery X Martin for mixing our theme. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
