#387 - Two-Lane Blacktop - WatchThis W/RickRamos

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Highway Without Horizon: Monte Hellman's <em>Two-Lane Blacktop</em></strong></span></p> <p>This week, Mr. Chavez & I sit down to discuss a seminal film of the 1970s, Monte Hellman's <strong><em>Two-Lane Blacktop</em></strong>. Featuring musical icons, James Taylor and Dennis Wilson (as, respectively, <em>The Driver</em> & <em>The Mechanic</em>), Laurie Bird, and the great character actor, Warren Oates as <em>GTO</em>. There's not a whole lot I can put into this description, but I will give my all . . . Ibrahim & I are thrilled to be discussing a cult classic that has only grown more powerful and enduring as the years have gone by. There's a whole lot packed into this story of a cross (or mid) country race between Taylor's The Driver, his co-pilot The Mechanic (Dennis Wilson) and Warren Oates's GTO. An existential look at men and their need to bury themselves in car culture, speed, and mythology.</p> <p>We cover a lot of bases and are thrilled that you are joining us on this incredible ride.
