S01E04 - Drivers

Published: Jan. 14, 2018, noon

Steven Spielberg's debut Duel (1971) gets us underway with man vs. machine, rural vs. urban and radiator hose vs. hill gradient. We slip into neutral for The Driver (1978) a blank abstraction which grinds its gears and get overtaken by Vanishing Point (1971). It turns out Locke (2013) and Wheelman (2017) have surprisingly similar performance profiles but Tom Hardy takes the flag with elan. Also: #PERL the cat repeatedly headbutts the microphone throughout. We play a game of "Delivery Driver".
