Summary
Who better to discuss the great 80’s movie ‘Quicksilver’ than a former San Francisco bike messenger? Steve Smith ( allthehailblackmarket.com ) joins Blister senior editor, Simon Stewart, to talk about this film starring a very young Kevin Bacon, and the lads get right into why it had a memorable bike influence on them. Of course, Steve weighs in on how realistic the film is, what’s aged the best, what’s aged the worst, and just what the hell Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is all about. Let Us Know Your Thoughts!
