## Resource

Steven DeLay joins Thomas for a conversation about the 2011 film Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Ryan Gosling. Analyzing the subversive and psyop-heavy intentions behind the movie, they conclude that Drive retains some profoundly redemptive qualities despite those designs. Topics of discussion include Refn's outspoken allegiance to the cult of the divine feminine, the cultural significance of the film's music, and Drive's place within the history of neo-noir. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://decoding-culture.com/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-2/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
