247 - The Driver (Patreon)

Tim and Jen ride along with a taciturn Ryan O'Neal for Walter Hill's sinuous neo-noir, The Driver!

Walter Hill spoke with Deadline in 2024 about his influences, Tony Scott's idiot brother, and of course, westerns.

Hill also talked about the controversy surrounding The Warriors in an interview for Esquire:

I think the reason why there were some violent incidents is really very simple: The movie was very popular with the street gangs, especially young men, a lot of whom had very strong feelings about each other. And suddenly they all went to the movies together!
