PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/38666142 Listen you screwheads, here is a podcast who would not take it anymore. We revisited Martin Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER (perhaps you've heard of it?), the original Incel™ movie; discussed its perspective on gender, politics, and alienation; and considered how it plays in the a world where Travis Bickle is all around us.
Among many films on the docket that have escaped my gaze, Taxi Driver has been among the most offensive for some. Most look on in shock and disgust when I mention never having seen it.John Nelson was one such fellow some ten years ago. He set himself on a mission to ensure that I see this "classic." It's taken ten years and two podcasts, but we're finally here.All I knew of Taxi Driver is the infamous "You talkin' ta me" scene. The rest was a big ol' mystery. So, sit back, relax, tense up and get ready to be very uncomfortable as we discuss Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
We attempt to deconstruct Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver in this edition of the podcast and dive into the underlying themes of masculinity, war and heroism. get in touch: whatthefilmpodcast@gmail.com IG: @whatthefilmpodcast FB:@thewhatthefilmpodcast
