Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver & Raging Bull are widely considered two of the best films of their era that were made in America. He and Robert DeNiro were a powerhouse creative team and they're still considered one of the all-time great collaborations in the history of the medium. This makes it curious that the film that they made together in between these monumental classics, 1977's New York, New York, has been largely forgotten and left out of the conversation.We're seeking to remedy that with our episode this week and we are happy to be joined by film enthusiast and historian Jim Hemphill. Jim has loved the film since he saw as a young film student and he brings some wonderful and personal insights to the discussion. In the episode we cover:Why directors and actors are often poor judges of their own workJim's early days in LA and getting to meet folks like Samuel Fuller, Billy Wilder, Budd Boetticher, and Blake EdwardsThe power of laserdiscs (and physical media in general) to develop and nurture generations of movie loversMarty's balance of strengths in having the talents of a classical studio director alongside the passions of an independent auteur The fact that NYNY may be Scorsese's only film (beyond his "faith trilogy") where the protagonist experiences genuine growthAnd more!Buy New York, New York Limited Edition Blu-RaySubstantive Cinema Episode ListJim's IndieWire article on NYNYBlu-ray Commentaries with Jim and his wife: The Golden Child and Navy SealsShoutouts:The Smashing MachineOne Battle After AnotherDexter: ResurrectionFollow Jim:InstagramIndieWireFollow Us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠⁠⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

Certains d'entre vous ont déjà vu durant leurs vacances, New York la nuit. Comment résister à une balade qui nous met inévitablement dans les pas de tant de cinéastes, photographes, chanteurs, compositeurs, écrivains et acteurs qui ont marqué notre imagination. Et vous vous y êtes cru, hein ? Vous vous êtes revu dans votre fauteuil à regarder Breakfast at Tiffany's, Vous avez un message ou encore Mad Men. Tant de films, tant de séries, impossible de les citer tous. Et puis il y a les chansons, de Bob Dylan à Lady Gaga, en passant par Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen et Taylor Swift.New York, la nuit. La ville qui ne dort jamais, comme dit la chanson. Tout le monde connaît New York New York. Les néons de Times Square qui éclaboussent Broadway de leurs couleurs, les sirènes de police qui déchirent l'air, les taxis jaunes qui filent vers le pont de Brooklyn, les patineurs en décembre sur Rockfeller Plaza, chaque quartier ou coin de rue a déjà été filmé, chanté, raconté, bref, a été immortalisé. Robert De Niro, en Taxi Driver, fou de solitude, Al Pacino dans la peau de Serpico, le flic désabusé, Woody Allen qui regarde l'aube se lever sur Manhattan, et John Travolta dansant dans une discothèque de Brooklyn sur un titre des Bee Gees ; la nuit new-yorkaise, c'est cette promesse de fiction qui se transforme en réalité.Car la nuit à New York, c'est le grand écart : les paillettes et la misère, les comédies musicales de Broadway et le jazz enfumé dans les clubs de Harlem, la réussite et la ruine à Wall Street et bien sûr l'Empire State Building et les façades sombres du Bronx. Les rêves s'y font et s'y brisent, mais toujours sur fond de musique et d'histoires, comme si la ville refusait le silence.Et la chanson ne dément pas. Frank Sinatra, je vous l'ai dit. Mais aussi Madonna, dansant sur un taxi, Lou Reed qui erre poétiquement dans l'underground, les bas-fonds, et à l'opposé Jay-Z et Alicia Keys érigeant New York en cathédrale pop avec Empire State of Mind. Alors chaque soir, le rideau se lève. Vous le savez, vous y avez assisté. Les projecteurs éclairent Manhattan, un réalisateur invisible crie « Action ! ». Et vous, simple passant, devenez pour quelques heures l'acteur d'un film plus grand que vous. Parce qu'à New York, la nuit, la légende ne s'arrête jamais. Comme disait Simone de Beauvoir : “Il y a quelque chose dans l'air de New York qui rend le sommeil inutile.”

To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveToday's guest is Geoff Shullenberger, the managing editor of Compact and a writer whose articles and reviews have appeared in American Affairs, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New Atlantis, UnHerd, and more. Last week, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Geoff wrote an incisive piece titled, “The Return of the Assassin.” In it, he observes that the nature of violence has shifted in recent years, away from the mass shooting and towards the targeted political assassination. Why this is the case, and what it bodes for the future, is the subject of this week's podcast.The conversation provides historical perspective by comparing contemporary political (or quasi-political) violence to radical groups from the 1960s and 1970s like the Baader Meinhof group, the Red Brigades, the Black Panthers, and figures like Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. Shadi Hamid distinguishes between left-wing violence (utopian, seeking new systems) and right-wing violence (preservationist, maintaining hierarchies). Geoff challenges this framework, noting that recent shooter profiles don't fit neatly into these categories. Damir Marusic notes that human beings always want events to “mean” something, but it may very well be that all this violence is essentially senseless.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, the guys discusses Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver; Geoff explains why he doesn't think we are on the brink of civil war; was the Charlie Kirk assassination an “honor killing”?; was January 6 a “mobilization”?; what Trump does next; were we living under a liberal dictatorship in 2020?; Damir on “the rotten Democratic Party”; Shadi says: “Nobody is blameless, but that doesn't mean everyone is equally to blame”; and more!Required Reading and Viewing:* Geoff Shullenberger, “The Return of the Assassin" (Compact).* Geoff Shullenberger, “Popular Justice” (The Point).* Tom Wolfe, “Radical Chic” (New York).* Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish (Amazon).* Martin Scorsese, Taxi Driver (IMDB). * Oliver Stone, JFK (IMDB).* Oliver Stone, Talk Radio (IMDB).* Eric Bogosian, Talk Radio (Amazon).* La Verkin City, Utah, United Nations-Free Zone Ordinance.* Punk rock picture of Oswald and Ruby.Free Preview Video:Full video for paid subscribers below:

Meet the Parents (2000) is one of the most iconic comedy films of the early 2000s, directed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Trumbo) and starring Ben Stiller (Zoolander, Tropic Thunder) as Greg Focker, a nervous male nurse who is about to propose to his girlfriend Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo – The West Wing, The Fosters). His plans, however, go hilariously awry when he must first win the approval of her intimidating father, Jack Byrnes, played by the legendary Robert De Niro (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver). The ensemble cast also features Blythe Danner (Meet the Fockers, Will & Grace) as Pam's kind-hearted mother Dina, and Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Loki) as Kevin, Pam's wealthy and charismatic ex-boyfriend. Packed with classic cringe-worthy comedy and unforgettable moments, Meet the Parents includes some of the most highly searched and referenced scenes in comedy history, such as Greg's disastrous attempts at impressing Jack, the infamous polygraph test sequence, the hilarious mishap with Jack's beloved cat Jinx, and the chaotic backyard volleyball game. The film's clever mix of slapstick, situational awkwardness, and sharp dialogue cemented its place as one of the best comedy movies of its era, spawning two sequels and a cultural legacy that still resonates today.

Before Sir Alec Guinness was Obi-Wan Kenobi, he adapted Joyce Cary's book The Horse's Mouth into the 1958 movie. In addition to writing the screenplay, Guinness starred as Gulley Jimson, an artist who is dedicated but snide, talented but demanding, endearing but dishonest. Jimson charms and delights, and nothing will get in the way of his vision. Even worse, he leaves havoc in his wake. Roymieco Carter, who's Associate Professor and Director of the Visual Arts Program at North Carolina A&T State University, discovered the movie when he was a student at Virginia Commonwealth University, and it made a big impact. Carter explains why The Horse's Mouth impacted him at such an early age, and why asking for permission to be an artist or designer isn't necessary, if you want to be something, be it.-Associate Professor and Director of the Visual Arts Program at North Carolina A&T State University, Roymieco Carter teaches graphic design, digital media, visual literacy and theory, and social criticism. Carter has written articles on graphic design education, art education, gaming, human computer interaction, and graphics computer animation. Having studied and worked in fashion art, as well as design and advertising practices, he often draws from his graphic design background for inspiration. His work uses a mixture of digital and hand techniques including collage, calligraphy, drawing, xerography, stenciling and typography. Raised in the tobacco farmlands of Virginia, he draws inspiration from his rural upbringing, and integrates themes of violence, displacement, and oppression into his work, exploring how history is manipulated and rewritten. Holding a BFA in Art and Advertising from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MFA in Graphic Design from Penn State University, Carter's work fuses documented history with cultural narratives and folklore, evoking deep emotional and personal insights.https://cartergallery.wordpress.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/roymieco-carter-65a38827/ https://www.ncat.edu/employee-bio.php?directoryID=909381433 https://www.ganttcenter.org/calendar/open-air-steven-cozart-and-roymieco-carter/ -The Horse's Mouth (1958)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051739/https://www.tcm.com/video/223317/horses-mouth-the-1958-the-old-dreadnought -Further Readinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Church_in_the_Wild https://www.museepicassoparis.fr/en/picassos-childhood -Thirtysomething (1987-1991)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirtysomethinghttps://designobserver.com/i-was-a-mad-man/ https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2001/05/miles-drentell-r-i-p.html https://som.yale.edu/blog/memoriam-bill-drenttel-Other movies and shows discussed, alphabetical listSinners (2025)Taxi Driver (1976)

Forty-years ago, Oscar-winning master Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Killers of the Flower Moon) directed his second dark comedy in a row (after The King of Comedy) with this quirky New York story which takes place almost entirely during one crazy night.  The whole story centers on Paul played by Griffing Dunne (An American Werewolf in London, My Girl, Dallas Buyers Club) who's just a lowly word processor by day but late one night, he decides to meet up with a mysterious, beautiful woman named Marcy (Rosanna Arquette) in the Soho district.  When he arrives at her apartment, she's at first not there so he ecounters her very strange, forward roommate (Linda Fiorentino)....eventually some one dies....and things just get stranger from there as Paul finds himself trapped in this ONE part of Manhattan unable to find his way home.  The stacked cast for this cult classic also includes Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Will Patton, John Heard, Cheech Marin, and Tommy Chong. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Forty days to an assassination. We dive into Woo Min-ho's icy political thriller The Man Standing Next — a gripping, true-events drama about KCIA director Kim Gyu-pyeong (played by Squid Game's Front Man, Lee Byung-hun) as he weighs loyalty, country, and a bullet.What the film's aboutAfter years in President Park Chung-hee's inner circle, Kim watches the regime harden: political purges, wiretaps, street crackdowns, and a rival enforcer (Chief Kwak) pushing for blood. When a former KCIA boss defects to the U.S. and threatens to publish a tell-all, the fuse is lit. The film tracks the 40 tense days that culminate in one of South Korea's most consequential nights.What we get into on the podPower, paranoia, and proximity: what it costs to be “the man standing next” to a dictator.The Washington angle: congressional testimony, ambassadors pulling strings, and how U.S. pressure shapes the endgame.That dinner sequence: whisky, insults, and a single decision that changes a nation.History vs. thriller: how the movie compresses real events without losing the knot-in-the-stomach tension.Performances & craft: Lee Byung-hun's controlled implosion, swaggering Kwak, crisp night photography (you can actually see it!), and the score's slow dread.The big themes: loyalty vs. survival, “order” vs. democracy, and why authoritarian systems eventually eat their own.Plus, our usual chaosA delightfully deranged Top 5 mash-up: Cowboys and Waiting Rooms (yes, really).A lightning-round quiz: “Korea or Career?” (parasites, broadcasters, pig-based corporate malfeasance — you had to be there).Should you watch the film first?We do reveal key plot points (including the ending), so if you want the full cinematic punch, watch first.

In this high-stress Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I find myself in the heart of Dakar, Senegal, with a bus leaving at 7 am – and a taxi driver who has no idea where the bus terminal is. What follows is a chaotic ride through a waking city, a ticking clock, and rising panic. But this episode isn't just about the stress. Along the way, I also meet a talented local artist and an inspiring Italian woman working with UNICEF. It's a snapshot of the real Senegal – unpredictable, vibrant, and full of character.

Baywatch Berlin ist zugegebenermaßen kein Anfängerpodcast. Wer da nicht von Anfang an dabei war, sein Archiv nicht ordentlich organisiert hat und hier und da mit der Sekundärliteratur nachlässig ist, wird inhaltlich schnell aus der Kurve fliegen. Zu komplexe Handlungsstränge, die einzelnen Ebenen teils so verworren, dass selbst inhaltlich eng eingebundene Kollegen wie Kultkonsti oder Pfeifenheinrich regelmäßig den Überblick verlieren, zwischen welchen und wie vielen Layern hier gerade agiert wird. Deshalb ist es von Zeit zu Zeit notwendig, ein Angebot an potenzielle Neuhörer zu gestalten. Das sind Folgen, die unregelmäßig eingestreut werden, in denen die intellektuelle Zugbrücke ABSICHTLICH etwas weiter heruntergelassen wird, um neuen Menschen Zugang zur Zauberwelt Baywatch Berlin zu gewähren. Diese Folgen erkennen Sie daran, dass sich die drei Podcaster am Anfang einmal namentlich vorstellen & dann in weiterer Folge sogenanntes „dummes Zeug“ geredet wird. In dieser Einsteigerfolge werden folgende Themen – naja – behandelt: • Wie läuft die Karriere vom Sexschamanen und hat sich Schmitti durch seine Passiv-Sex-Erfahrung des Sommers vollends aus der knisternden Welt der Erotik zurückgezogen? • Kann man Millionär werden, wenn man rauskriegt, wie man selber Bonbons macht? (Nein) • Und kann man einem Tierarzt „Beine machen“, wenn man sich verhält wie Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver? Sie sehen: Es lohnt sich mal reinzuhören, denn so leicht machen es Ihnen die drei mindestens eine Woche lang nicht bei Baywatch Berlin. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

"You Talkin to me?", "Cʹest à moi que tu parles?", lancée par Robert de Niro face à son miroir est certainement une des phrases les plus connues du cinéma. Le comédien interprète Travis Bickle dans le film Taxi Driver de Martin Scorcese, la Palme dʹor 1976. A lʹécran, on trouve aussi Jodie Foster, toute jeune alors, Harvey Keitel, et Cybill Shepherd. Taxi Driver cʹest lʹhistoire de Travis Bickle, un jeune homme du Middle West, démobilisé des Marines, qui fait le taxi à New-York. Cʹest un déséquilibré, solitaire, insomniaque, qui voit la déchéance morale partout et qui décide de nettoyer la ville en lʹensanglantant. Taxi Driver, cʹest le récit dʹun psychotique mystique créé par le scénariste Paul Schrader, inspiré dʹun fait réel, une tentative dʹassassinat politique, nous y reviendrons. Cʹest un film dʹerrances, un film où des violences se croisent, où des tirs sʹéchangent, où lʹamour nʹa pas sa place. Cʹest un film qui montre les séquelles psychologiques de la guerre du Vietnam, les traumatismes des jeunes gens revenus au pays, fracassés. Ça ne sʹétait jamais vu avant. Le film choque à sa sortie, mais imprime les mémoires. Et surtout, fait entrer pleinement Martin Scorcese dans le Nouvel Hollywood, ce vivier dʹartistes exaltés, prêts à montrer de quoi ils sont capables, ceux qui veulent en découdre avec le système. Lʹhistoire de Taxi Driver sʹécrit avec sur la banquette dʹun taxi jaune new-yorkais et offre à tous ces jeunes talents, acteurs et actrices compris, un terrain dʹexploration fabuleux qui va devenir légendaire.

Tim Gallin began his quest to perform in feature films and TV after attending CW Post College on Long Island, NY. His first professional job came by way of the Gong Show in August of 1978. He was a contestant on an Elvis Presley special because Chuck Barris was a fan of The King. After seeing his old high school football coach, Vic Magnotta performing in Taxi Driver, Tim picked up the phone and gave him a call. Magnotta was a stuntman, retired special forces soldier, and Vietnam veteran who became close friends with Martin Scorsese while attending NYU. That fateful phone call created for Tim an opportunity to play football in the film The Wanderers. Through Magnotta's continued offers to perform stunts, Tim met many of the people he would collaborate with over the next 45+ years. When asked about a favorite fight scene he performed in, the Marked for Death fight from the classic film F/X (1986) was Tim's immediate response – and is the starting point of this interview that covers some of Tim's epic experiences in the industry including stunt doubling Tom hanks on Splash and Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building.

Als hätte sie schon vorher von unserem Sommersonntag der "Ein-Wort-Songs" gewusst! Marie Bothmer liebt offenbar derartige Titel, besteht doch ihr aktuelles Album fast ausschließlich aus Songs benannt mit eben nur einem Wort. Lediglich der "Taxi Driver" bildet die Ausnahme zwischen Liedern wie "Ego", "Sweetspot" oder "Luftmatratze". Mit "Swimmingpool" hat Marie Bothmer 2021 ihren bislang größten Hit gelandet und perfektioniert seither immer weiter ihren eigenen Sound: deutschsprachige Popmusik mit akustischen Instrumenten wie elektronischen Sounds, bei denen sich die Beats zwischen treibend und sanft hin- und her bewegen. Während sie seit mehr als zehn Jahren Musik macht, ist in diesem Jahr nun der Zeitpunkt für ihr Debütalbum gekommen: "Geb dir alles, stimmt so". Im weitesten Sinn verhandelt Bothmer darauf das Leben aus ihrer Sicht in der Großstadt – und bringt in einer generationen-gefilterten Momentaufnahme Themen wie Selbstfindung, Liebe, Einsamkeit, Feiern und Heartbreak zusammen. In fast allen Liedern herrscht textlich ein leicht melancholischer Unterton. Marie Bothmer reflektiert mit besonderer Offenheit schwierige Beziehungen und Vereinbarungen im Musikbusiness, das eigene Selbstwertgefühl sowie ihr eigenes schwieriges Verhältnis zu ihrem Vater. Musikalisch überwiegt letztlich das Aufbauende: energetischer Dance-Pop und Club-Vibes treffen auf Bothmers Singer-Songwriter-Skills und manchmal klingt ein Hauch 90er-Jahre-Hip-Hop durch.

Supreme Court judges, bus conductors, chemists, even radio stars — in this episode, we look at how women were making their mark in 1960s Taiwan. Our source is a 1963 issue of the Free China Review, published in the peak “Free China” years, when most of the so‑called “Taiwanese” women featured were actually from China. Still, even in this repressive period, you could argue women here had more chances to lead, earn, and succeed than many of their peers in the West.DO US A FAVOR and leave a review or comment (on Apple, Spotify, YT, or our website).

Oder warum Filme wie SICARIO, WARRIOR, SIN CITY, DER PIANIST, SNATCH - SCHWEINE UND DIAMANTEN wie auch CASINO ROYALE in diese Auflistung gehören. Dass trotz aller Ablehnung eines Etienne Gardé auch GODZILLA MINUS ONE auf die Liste gehört. Und welche Filme den Einzug in unser Projekt nur knapp verpasst haben.

Synopsis: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times examines not just vehicle prices but wider transport issues and trends connected to public and private transport. Contrary to the name of his YouTube channel, Mr Eddie Jui is anything but lazy. The 48-year-old drives 10 hours daily and spends nearly as much time making videos. Like the friendly cabbie making conversation with his passenger, Mr Jui’s videos are candid and honest. And based on how fast the LazyCabbie YouTube channel is growing, it is resonating with people.More on the conversations between Mr Eddie Jui and senior transport correspondent Lee Nian Tjoe below. Highlights (click/tap above): 2:00 Spending at least two to three hours just to get the right angles for the videos. 14:20 Trying to create an online community that is more forward-looking and positive. 18:00 Taxi driving as a sunset industry but one that pays the bills, if you need money urgently. 20:10 Reacting to the rise of autonomous driving potentially taking away taxi driving as a vocation. 23:00 Do not treat driving as a career because there is no progression.
