Last Call At Torchy’s #2 : The Driver 1978

Last Call At Torchy’s #2 : The Driver 1978

Author: LegionPodcasts.com July 12, 2021 Duration: 52:04
The regulars from Torchy’s are back for another round with Walter Hill’s sophomore effort The Driver. This stars Ryan O’Neal as a wheelman for hire who’s never been caught and Bruce Dern as The Detective hot on his heels who will go to any length to get his man. We discuss going against type, the film’s influence on the modern action film and “failed” attempts at the perfect car chase. W/ Lee Russell, Cameron Scott and Gary Hill. Special thanks to Peter Pedro Osmond for the Torchy’s art and Jeffery X Martin for mixing our theme.

Grab a stool and settle in at The Butcher Shop, where the conversation is always fresh and the cuts are deep. Host Gary is joined by regulars Iris Walters, Suzanne Cappelletti, and Jamie Sammons to break down a pair of films connected by a common theme, genre, or sometimes just a wonderfully bizarre coincidence. This isn't a dry critical analysis, though you'll certainly get sharp insights. Instead, think of it as overhearing a lively, sometimes chaotic debate among friends who love movies, from blockbuster TV adaptations to obscure cult classics. The real meat of this podcast is the camaraderie and the good-natured ribbing that flies back and forth as they dissect what works, what doesn't, and why a particular performance leaves them in stitches. You'll hear genuine laughter, passionate disagreements, and the kind of tangents that only happen when people are truly enjoying a conversation. Whether the films are comedies, dramas, or something entirely unclassifiable, the discussion is always approachable and engaging. For anyone who enjoys film but often finds the most memorable part is talking about it afterwards with friends, this podcast captures that exact feeling. Each episode feels like you've pulled up a chair at the table, ready for a double feature followed by a conversation that's as entertaining as the movies themselves.
