It\u2019s time for the amazing and fabulous fourth part of our top five favorite movies mini-series! It\u2019s the penultimate part, which is one of the very best parts of anything. There\u2019s the feeling of accomplishment you get from making it this far and none of the sadness from knowing that you\u2019re listening to the end of the series. It\u2019s all just good times!
First up, we\u2019ve got a thrilling movie with an incredible soundtrack for one of Sean\u2019s favorites. This one is the 2011 crime drama thriller romance film (oh yes, it covers all those bases and then some) by one of the all-time great Danes, Nicolas Winding Refn. It\u2019s called Drive and it\u2019s a knock-you-out-of-your-socks sort of a film. It left us breathless by the end of it and wondering what it has against redheads. Seriously, that poor Christina Hendricks character\u2026 Regardless, it looks stunning and has an energy that sucks you in from moment one.
Immediately following Sean\u2019s pick is another one of Steven\u2019s. This time he\u2019s bringing us the wonderfully touching film, About Time, made in 2013 and directed by the always amazing Richard Curtis. This one sneaks up on you with its clever writing, adorable relationships, and tender family moments. Come for the concept and stay for the emotional resonance. Thankfully, the redheads in this one make it out better than they did in Drive. I mean, waaay better. This film feels completely real, even despite its fantastical premise, and by the end of it, makes you wish you could watch it again right away.
These two are fun and a thrill to watch. Drive and About Time are some of our favorite movies for a clear reason. We feel positive that you\u2019ll fall in love with them, too.
Get into it and tune in again for part 5!

Sean screwed up the name of this fine cinematographer in the episode so fiercely that he needs to be called out for this mistake in the show notes. Shame on you, Sean. Shame.
