Auuuugust Racing Month is picking up speed here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and this week, we're taking a joyride with the stylish and music-driven "Baby Driver." This film is all about the rhythm of the chase, but we're also taking a closer look at whether its smooth moves on the asphalt hold up on the cultural curb. Grab your headphones, because the soundtrack is just as important as the horsepower.
This week, we're diving into Edgar Wright's slick heist flick, where the action is choreographed to the beat of an amazing playlist. We'll be talking about the ingenious way the film uses music to drive the plot and the driving, as well as the truly fantastic car chase sequences that are still a blast to watch. However, we're also going to have an honest conversation about some of the elements that might not have aged as gracefully, and how our perspective on the film has shifted since its release. It's a great time, but it's worth a second look.
If you're a fan of Edgar Wright, a sucker for a killer soundtrack, or just want to hear a conversation that goes beyond the surface-level fun of a movie, then this is your next listen. We're blending our appreciation for the film's technical brilliance with our usual casual banter, making this a thoughtful and entertaining installment in our Auuuugust Racing Month!
