FILM DRIVEN

Gooooooooooooooood morning Film Driven listeners! Our look back at the 80's continues with how that decade kept looking back to the 60's -- specifically, to the Vietnam war. Join Andre and Steve as we delve into how Hollywood (and the country) reckoned with the war and its' aftermath.

In between the "New Hollywood" rebels of the 60s and 70s and the big money "independent" boom of the 90s came... the 1980's of course! Join Andre and Steve as we discuss the decade that saw the early efforts of some of our favorite filmmakers. The Coen Brothers! Spike Lee! Gus Van Sant! Take a listen!

These days, "Intellectual Property" is all the rage, but when did Hollywood really start concentrating on this stuff? Why, in the 1980's of course! Take an aural drive with Andre and Steve as we discuss how the 1980's turned Hollywood into a town obsessed with sequels, toys, lunch boxes, pajamas, theme parks...

Wait! Are we living in the dystopian future the movies of the 80's warned us about?!? Come join Andre and Steve as we continue our trip through the films of the 1980's with a laser filled discussion of science fiction!

Look out! Don't go in there! Whatever you do, do NOT listen to Andre and Steve talk about the horror films of the 80's, it could be the last podcast you ever listen to. Bwahahahahahaha!

Boom! BOOM! Why was everything so BIG in the 80's? The hair! The pecs! The body count! Take a drive with Andre and Steve as we discuss the action movies of the 1980's. Do we get to win this time?

Since we're confined to the garage, Film Driven is embarking on a season-long exploration of the films of the 1980's! Every week we'll jump into a new topic and discuss the most significant films of the 80's around that theme, as well as our personal favorites. First up, a man who began the 80's as a bodybuilder who dabbled in acting, and ended the 80's as one of the biggest stars in the world -- Arnold Schwarzenegger! Take a (metaphorical) drive with us as we discuss all things Ahh-nold.

What do we all have in common with some of our favorite prison movies? Quite a lot lately! Join Steve and Andre with our special passenger, director and film aficionado DP Carlson, for an arresting conversation about one of the most versatile of movie genres, the Prison Picture. We'll talk about many of our favorite films and TV shows set in prison and give you some great recommendations to enjoy during your own incarceration. 

Steve and Andre drive in the rain while reviewing the storied and wildly uneven career of director Ridley Scott. We review his latest sic-fi opus, Prometheus, touch on every film Ridley ever made and get accosted by some concerned citizens.

For the first time ever, FILM DRIVEN stays home! Join Steve and Andre as we discuss our viewing obsessions during the COVID-19 isolation. We'll give you plenty of off-beat recommendations for virtually every taste and every streaming service. Stay healthy and enjoy!
