Only God Forgives

Drive was another one.

The only one of his that I was not that big of a fan of was the Only God Forgives.

That was the other Ryan Gosling one.

It wasn't that it was bad, but that was the one that was kind of a slog.

Like, I don't know that... experientially it would have been the same in the movie theater but like I was I was happy to be

but I remember sitting in the theater I don't know if we were together for Only God Forgives and just being like more more more keep pouring on the syrup I need I need it to yes keep going deeper and deeper into Freudian trauma yes

Okay.

You wanted to speak about It Ends.

Future movie news.

Nicholas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling are working on a comedy together for their third film after Drive and Only God Forgives.

So, you know, Winding Refn, he had that his her private hell that came out this year and did not do well.

So trying to get Gosling in there, trying to get something going.

So it's, you know, very quite dark in a lot of ways and feels feels very much like a 1979 neo-noir with a lot of styles and like a lot of kind of neon lights, almost almost.

Nicholas Winding Refn in Drive and Only God Forgives kind of there's elements of that sort of visual style.

And, you know, very quickly you you sort of realize the policeman has been summoned there because there's maybe a crime and maybe not a crime and then eventually they're.

most certainly is crime that he goes about investigating.

But he says he brought up, he was brought up in his parents' love for dark Renaissance art.

He can go on about his love for '80s horror, '50s hammer sci-fi movies, H.P. Lovecraft, um, Barker, Clive Barker, the new French extreme horror of the past 10 years, and dark atmospheres from films such as Only God Forgives, Krall, and The Dark Crystal.

Um, and he is also a fan of horror video games including the original Doom, 1993.

Um, and a very big heavy metal fan, especially the artwork of bands like Manowar and Iron Maiden.

And, uh, this week's film is Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, and you know him from a host of other great films.

Um, one, one of the ones that I think might, might s- you know, sort of sneak by everybody is, uh, is, uh, the, um, the film Only God Forgives.

Have you seen that one?

Yes.

It followed Drive.

Um, it was the, the next collaboration between director and star Ryan Gosling, um, getting the old Drive team back together.

Uh, everyone was expecting another Drive, and that's [laughs] not at all what they got with Only God Forgives.

Yeah.

She's obsess- I know, and she's so...

What a fucking, oh my God, like find a, find a dumber hill to die on, please.

[laughs] You know, I dare you.

Right.

One of the things-

RIP Samuel.

[laughs] God damn.

And he was, he was freaky in that.
