Drive (2011‪)‬ Escape Hatch (formerly Dune Pod)

In our latest episode, we discuss an early role for Duke Leto himself, Oscar Isaac, the 2011 crime thriller, Drive. Regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by the Chief Technology Officer of Slack, Cal Henderson. We cover how sympathetic villains can be, just how hunky Ryan Gosling is, and the dangers of listening to REO Speedwagon while under the influence.
