TAATM #38: Drive vs. Speed Racer

Cool beans! Paul and Erin go into critical first gear over two films about neon colours and very good drivers. First: Ryan Gosling is a Hollywood stuntman by day and a criminal getaway artist by night in Nicholas Winding Refn's cooler-than-cool 2011 action thriller DRIVE; then, Emile Hirsch is a pure-hearted race-car driver who hopes to triumph over the corrupt corporate forces who control the sport in Lana and Andy Wachowski's visually overwhelming 2008 confection SPEED RACER. Bryan Cranston with a limp or a monkey named Chim-Chim: which will prevail?
