Zach Smith (@ZachOnArthouse on Substack and TikTok) joins Andrew and Peyton to discuss the films of Nicolas Winding Refn. They dig into everything from 'Drive' and 'Only God Forgives' to 'The Neon Demon' and 'Too Old to Die Young' before tackling NWR's newest film, now playing in theaters: 'Her Private Hell'.

Sophie Thatcher ('Yellowjackets') and Havana Rose Liu ('Bottoms') star as actresses who cross paths with a diamond-covered killer known as the Leather Man in 'Her Private Hell'. Meanwhile, Charles Melton ('Riverdale') plays an American GI cutting his way through the Yakuza to save his daughter from the same fate.

It's everything you've come to expect from Refn: long pauses, neon lights, and a kickass soundtrack. Zach shares his enthusiasm as a dedicated Refn fan and discusses his recent interview with 'Her Private Hell' editor Matthew Newman.

The wide-ranging discussion also includes trailer reactions to ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Ebenezer’, TIFF 2026 programming, and early screenings of ‘Motor City’.

Plus: we can’t wait to revisit 'Drive' at Enzian next month! https://enzian.org/film/drive
