Nicolas Winding Refn was in a pretty awkward place after releasing Only God Forgives. The popularity he amassed when he made Drive seemed to implode with the follow-up. So what did he do? He doubled down on the weirdness and released a biting, irreverent satire about the L.A. modeling scene. Listen to Alex & Julio discuss THE NEON DEMON with the help of Ryan & Bartek from the Spit & Polish podcast! Can we collectively succeed in making naysayers understand Winding Refn\u2019s genius?
