PROMO: Too Many Captains (@ItsaFilmPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: The only movie podcast that matters dives into yet another car film involving a stunt driver protagonist—this time the 1978 action comedy classic Hooper, starring the man, the myth, the legend: Burt Reynolds! Acting alongside Smokey and the Bandit co-star and real-life lover Sally Field, as well as Jan-Michael Vincent, Reynolds portrays the eponymous action stuntman that in many ways draws some similarities with his early Hollywood career. Beau, Robert, and Ash ponder on that and compare this work with other car movies we've featured on the show. If you enjoy this episode, feel free to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or feedback on your platform of choice!

PROMO: Too Many Captains (@ItsaFilmPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: We're back, Collateral Cinephiles! Today, we sit down to discuss one of Nicholas Winding Refn's most accessible and cinematically astute films, the Ryan Gosling-led arthouse noir sendup, Drive. We explore the thematic use of color; the poignant performances of Gosling and co-star Christina Hendricks; the caustic, yet slightly Kubrickian direction Refn imbues in his movie; and the cars that make up the backbone of this film. Did Refn's directorial style rub us the wrong way, like so many other movie fans claim? Listen now, and come on a drive with us through the city at night!
