‘The Bikeriders’: Austin Butler and Jodie Comer saddle up for Jeff Nichols’ motorcycle club epic

I built this for nothing. This is our family. You and me, kid. This movie is a prequel of sorts. We we have a pretty good understanding of what contemporary biker gang culture is. And this is really about where it started. And it started as a social club. It started as a group of working class guys who had jobs and families and friends and they just wanted to ride around together and drink beer together. They don't belong nowhere else. So they belong together because you're the man in charge. I'm John where the man knows. But it's over the course of the 60s. It's over the course of this film that that metastasizes into something that's more familiar to us. Hey, I told you to take that jacket off. You'd have to kill me to get this jacket off. Austin was kind of the linchpin. But when I met Austin Butler for the first time, he walked up and held his hand out. I shook it. And I just thought, I'm attracted to this man. I, I, there's something compelling about him. I'm Benny. Five weeks later, I married him. Sometimes there are those moments in your life where you meet someone and it's like, you know, it's like a fireworks gone off. He's a, a free bed. He's not really kind of tethered to anything. I always get the feeling of wanting to be a part of their family. You know, I was in the car the other day and this, this whole group came by us and I thought, man, I just wish I was a part of their family.
