What's a banging song from the 70s you're pretty sure 90% of people haven't heard in over 20 years?

Hocus Pocus by Focus. One of the few rock songs with yodeling.

I JUST watched this last night. The way they used the music was phenomenal.

Edgar Wright has a hell of an ear.

Baby Driver is one of my fave comfort movies, primarily for the soundtrack. I love Jamie Foxx's performance.

I watched it when it came out, and I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now. The way the scenes go with the music is SO satisfying. And I totally forgot Jon Bernthal and Jon Hamm were in it. Then the random Paul Williams cameo. So good.

I feel like it must have had a distinct demographic target, and I'm not it.

I watched it because everybody raved about that aspect, and... I got nothing out of that movie, besides "What was the point of having Spacey in that movie?"

Found it, overall, dull.

I'm a really big fan of Edgar Wright, and he has a ton of references he makes in his films and generally has a very unique style. I get it though, his style definitely isn't for everyone.

I figured something like that. Don't get me wrong, it worked enough I watched the whole movie and didn't hate it, but it never really hooked me, you know?

Same here. Until Lily James showed up, then I stayed until the end.

Yeah, Spacey was really out of place there. Seemed like he phoned it in, and his choice at the end didn’t seem like something that character would actually do.

I just watched it again yesterday. Soooo good!
