This week at the bar, Andy and Kev take on Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s neon-drenched crime thriller and possibly the quietest film to ever cause this much disagreement. With Ryan Gosling barely saying a word, Andy questions Kev’s long-standing obsession with strong, silent types — accidental pattern or window into his soul?Is Drive home to the greatest lift scene ever filmed, rivaling The Apartment? We dig into the real Ryan Gosling (not the deep-fake one from Season One), asking whether he’s the leading man Hollywood keeps searching for — or the Patrick Swayze of his generation hiding in plain sight.Top Trumps descend into chaos as Andy tries to be generous with scores for a film he doesn’t love, Kev refuses on principle, and the pair debate the perfect ratio of violence to action. Somewhere along the way, evidence emerges that Kev may have time-travelled back to 2011 to influence Andy’s opinion.Number 92 on Kev’s list. Satin jackets, synths, and existential staring ensueQuote: "No...It's bad luck"IMDB:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/@longplayvideo

Kev questions how many films Andy has actually seen, whether he’s watched them in the correct order and if Road House represents the absolute peak of late-80s cinematic excess.It’s cocktails, shattered dreams and roundhouse kicks as number 93 on Kev's lists heads into the dive bar to find out if Road House is a masterpiece, a disaster, or somehow both at once.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098206/
