Podcasts about taxi drivers

Chinese e-mobility technology is poised to transform large swathes of Africa's transportation ecosystem in the coming decade, but in very different ways than in other regions where EVs are the primary focus. Bicylces, scooters, tricyles, tractors, cars, minibuses, and full-sized coaches, all made in China, are becoming increasingly popular in dozens of African countries. This week, Eric & Cobus are thrilled to introduce CGSP's newest podcast The Africa EV Show with Njenga Hakeenah, which highlights the latest trends in this dynamic sector. Njenga, who is also CGSP's Nairobi-based climate editor, reveals which countries are moving fastest to incorporate e-mobility in their transportation mix and what the major obstacles to e-mobility adoption on the continent are.

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

We have Lyft Off, yes The Cab Chat Show is back with a slightly new format and we are now also on YouTube. I am gong to be having more guests on the show going forward, people from within the trade and also those who supply services to London's Taxi Drivers. I may also revisit some of the old interviews that I did over the years and then go back and try to interview those people again to see if their views and opinions have changed of the trade. Most of the shows will now be recorded in the back of a taxi as I do not have another venue to conduct these interviews and I personally think that being as the show is called Cab Chat recording from within a Taxi is probably the best place to record them. We will also beiong doing the old format Cab Chat Show like we did in the past and I may try to get the old team back together to see what they are all doing these days, we just need to find somewhere that would lend us a venue to be able to achieve this. FreeNow has been acquired by Lyft the American ride sharing company and I ask the question? What is the difference between a driving being on FreeNow and being on Uber? If you would like to get involved with Cab Chat you can contact me via the website https://cabchatshow.uk You can also find our YouTube playlist at http://cabchat.uk

Travis Bickle, a lonely Vietnam War veteran working as a NYC taxi driver, descends into violent vigilantism as his mental state deteriorates and his disgust with urban decay intensifies. Martin Scorsese's legendary 1976 character study features an iconic performance by Robert De Niro that continues to influence cinema decades later.• Robert De Niro's transformative performance as Travis Bickle remains the film's standout element• Scorsese's portrayal of 1970s New York City creates a character of its own through gritty, atmospheric cinematography• Bernard Herrmann's jazz-influenced score perfectly enhances the film's sense of isolation and brewing violence• The film's ambiguous portrayal of its protagonist has led to controversial interpretations over the decades• Travis Bickle's character has influenced numerous films about isolated, disturbed individuals, most notably 2019's "Joker"• The "You talkin' to me?" mirror scene has become one of cinema's most referenced and parodied moments• Modern viewers may find the pacing deliberately slow compared to contemporary filmsLetterbox'd Synopsis: A mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feed his urge for violent action.

New Patreon supporter Greig has reached back into the 1970's for his first pick and it from the year of the gang movie, 1979's The Wanderers!The production of The Wanderers (1979), directed by Philip Kaufman and co-written with his wife Rose Kaufman, was an adaptation of Richard Price's debut novel. Set in the Bronx of 1963, the film aimed to authentically portray the era's street gang culture. Filming took place on location in various Bronx neighborhoods, including Fordham Road, the Grand Concourse, and Pelham Parkway. Cinematographer Michael Chapman, known for his work on Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, contributed to the film's dynamic visual style. The cast featured emerging talents such as Ken Wahl, John Friedrich, Karen Allen, Toni Kalem, and Tony Ganios.Despite not achieving significant box office success upon its release, The Wanderers garnered critical acclaim for its vivid depiction of adolescence and gang life. Over time, it developed a cult following, appreciated for its blend of nostalgia, pathos, and drama. The film's soundtrack, featuring a selection of late 1950s and early 1960s rock and roll, further enhanced its period authenticity. In 1996, Warner Bros. re-released the film theatrically in the United States, reflecting its enduring appeal.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world teetering on the edge of innocence and rebellion, The Wanderers takes you back to 1963 Bronx, where leather jackets were armor and gangs ruled the streets like teenage warlords. Meet Richie and his crew — not just tough guys, but kings of the block — navigating high school, heartbreak, and turf wars in a city simmering with change. As rival gangs clash and the world around them begins to shift, these boys must face the end of adolescence and the beginning of something far more dangerous… adulthood.

Ein Fest - und so plauschig: wir haben OLLI SCHULZ zu Gast. Und er hat 20 Filme mit dabei, über die wir reden wollen. Denn die haben ihn schwer geprägt. Nachdem wir erst nur über unsere jeweiligen Sendungen kommuniziert haben, kam dann doch ein direkter Kontakt und schließlich eine tolle Folge zustande, in der der Musiker, Entertainer, Podcaster und Unterwasser-Detektiv endlich mal all das loswerden konnte, was er bei den anderen Kollegen sonst nicht loswerden kann. Infolgedessen geht es mit Eddie, Thilo und Schröck unter anderem um Spielbergs DUELL, um POPEYE - DER SEEMANN MIT DEM HARTEN SCHLAG, CAP UND CAPPER oder WESTWORLD. Wir reden über Justizfilme, der 70er und 80er, steigen beim TAXI DRIVER ein und landen kurz bei Scorsese, bevor es in der Zeit zurück geht, damit der TERMINATOR erstmal für alle Actionfilme der Dekade zur Gallionsfigur werden kann, bevor wir noch einmal William Friedkin und seinem LEBEN UND STERBEN IN L.A. huldigen. Und so geht es heiter weiter, wie auch drunter und drüber mit dem TANZ DER TEUFEL, mit NIGHTMARE - MÖRDERISCHE TRÄUME, mit Horror-Ikonen, die auch mal absichtlich ausgelassen werden und DAS DING AUS EINER ANDEREN WELT schaut auch noch mal auf ‘ne Petrischale voll Blut vorbei. Daneben lauschen wir den Geschichten und Erfahrungen eines jungen Filmfans, der in Hamburg groß und filmisch sozialisiert worden ist, der bei Horror-Nächten im Alabama Kino Preise abgeräumt hat und auch schon mal eine Faust für seine Meinung zu Carpenters DIE KLAPPERSCHLANGE einstecken musste. Einer, den das Kino WILD AT HEART gemacht hat, ein ARIZONA JUNIOR von der Waterkant, ein BIRDY, der zum Barden wurde. Ob wir wirklich alle 20 Filme schaffen? Findet es heraus. Es lohnt sich, bei all diesen Erinnerungen aus ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Wir hatten zumindest so viel Spaß, dass Olli noch mal vorbei kommen möchte. Und mindestens ebenso viel Vergnügen wünschen wir Euch nun auch bei diesem Spezial. Frohe Ostern. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von fritz-kola. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, the boys stay positive as they take a look at Ridley Scott's first proper film, “The Duelists,” from 1977! Starring Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, and Albert Finney, this self-funded film is stunning to watch, but is it interesting to endure? We drink and discuss!

La Design Week continua, e il BSMT resta nel basement del Cupra Garage di Milano per una nuova puntata dedicata alla musica. Dopo lo sport, è il momento di raccontare il suono di una generazione. Ebbene sì, Rkomi è passato dal BSMT. E lo ha fatto come forse mai prima d'ora. Artista tra i più riconoscibili e amati della scena musicale italiana, Rkomi, all'anagrafe Mirko Martorana, ha trasformato il suo percorso: dalle radici nel rap milanese alla sperimentazione tra generi, fino al grande salto nel mainstream con l'album “Taxi Driver”, il disco più venduto del 2021. Una colonna sonora generazionale che ha segnato un prima e un dopo nella sua carriera. Nel basement del Cupra Garage durante la Milano Design Week 2025, Rkomi si racconta tra successi, paure, sacrifici e trasformazioni. Parla della sua esperienza come giudice di X Factor, delle due partecipazioni a Sanremo (2022 e 2025), dell'assenza della figura paterna, delle critiche, dei consensi e degli inizi condivisi con Tedua, Bresh, Ernia e Izi. Una intervista esclusiva che esplora l'uomo dietro l'artista, in cui l'irrequietezza diventa stile e la musica un linguaggio per dire tutto, senza filtri. Una tappa imperdibile nella Design Week di Milano, per chi ama la musica che racconta storie vere. Buon ascolto! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah discuss former “Shagger of the Year” Russell Brand, who's been charged with sexual misconduct, a year or two after an explosive documentary landed on British TV about the comedian/entertainer/podcaster/New-Age guru. That show kicked off a criminal investigation, now headed to the courts.Brand is at once an obvious and peculiar #MeToo target, since he was so outspoken about his misdeeds in real time, including a memoir about his sex addiction called My Booky Wook.

Javier Ocaña saca la libreta para dar su opinión sobre dos de los principales estrenos de la semana. El primero es 'Muy lejos' la opera prima de Gerard Oms como director que deja a un lado su labor como coach de actores para dirigir a un fenomenal Mario Casas en una película personal que narra situaciones muy ásperas. El segundo estreno de la semana es 'La niña de la cabra', una fábula social y moral sobre la infancia de una niña contada casi como un cuento. Además, escuchamos la crítica bajo demanda de 'Taxi Driver'.

Nuestro cinéfilo Juanma González comenta los candentes estrenos de la semana: Una ballena, Sting y Revelación en Netflix. ¡Dale al play! Juanma González ha compartido sus impresiones sobre los principales estrenos cinematográficos de la semana en el programa Es la Mañana de Fin de Semana, junto a María Díez Rovira y Jaume Segalés. En esta ocasión, las películas comentadas tienen un marcado tono simbólico, fantástico y hasta arácnido. Juanma no se ha guardado nada y ha dejado perlas para entender cada título. ‘Una ballena': thriller con atmósfera lynchiana Sobre Una ballena, Juanma ha destacado su tono inclasificable. Aunque la sinopsis podría hacer pensar en un thriller al uso, la película ha sorprendido por su atmósfera inquietante y surrealista: "Esto se va por territorio lynchiano desde el principio". La ha descrito como "una película totalmente atmosférica", protagonizada por Ingrid García-Jonsson, a la que ha definido como "un fantasma etéreo". Ha asegurado que la película "se adentra en lo fantástico, aunque a lo mejor no lo sea… o quizás sí", y la ha comparado con títulos como Carretera perdida o Mulholland Drive. "Si no te gusta Mulholland Drive, que no vayas", ha advertido con humor. También ha elogiado su factura técnica y las interpretaciones, especialmente la de Ramón Barea: "Te construye un personaje que no es malo, ni bueno, que es lo interesante". ‘Sting, araña asesina': diversión arácnida De tono mucho más ligero, Sting ha sido definida por Juanma como "una peli divertida" con espíritu de videoclub ochentero. "Es una araña de un puñetero meteorito", ha bromeado. Ha explicado que la historia se ambienta en un edificio neoyorquino donde una niña entabla una relación especial con la criatura, en una mezcla de E.T. con humor negro: "Lo mismo que E.T., pero pervertido". Aunque ha reconocido que no es una película ambiciosa, ha valorado su ejecución: "Está bien hecha, tiene atmósfera. El edificio es feo asqueroso. Y los efectos especiales, sin ser caros, funcionan". También ha señalado una posible lectura simbólica: "La araña parece una proyección del ego de la cría. Va aniquilando a todos los que le molestan". Para Juanma, el valor de la cinta está en su capacidad de entretener: "Me dan un asco supremo las arañas. Y me gusta pasar un rato divertido y malrollero en el cine". ‘Revelación': el thriller coreano que desarma la moral Con Revelación, thriller surcoreano del director de Train to Busan, Juanma ha elogiado su ritmo y complejidad narrativa. "Te presentan personajes que no tienen nada que ver y luego ves cómo están interconectados", ha señalado. La ha comparado con historias de descenso a los infiernos como Taxi Driver o Joker: "Es un personaje que pierde el sentido de la realidad". Ha destacado también la ambigüedad moral del film: "La película humaniza a un delincuente sexual y deshumaniza a un pastor religioso". Y aunque ha admitido que la trama es inverosímil, ha defendido su efectividad: "Es un soberano lío, pero la película, al final, funciona". Antes de terminar, ha mencionado The Studio, serie de Apple TV+ que espera poder comentar próximamente: "Habla del cine que yo veo y que yo mamo, para bien y para mal".

Taxi! I can’t remember how to get home!

Hollywood:1975. Martin Scorsese sits in his apartment, enraged. He wants to literally kill the man who is ruining his to-be-released film, Taxi Driver. Scorsese's friends, filmmakers Stephen Spielberg, Brian De Palma, John Millius, and Paul Schraeder rush to Scorsese's side to talk him out of committing murder, but when they arrive, their friend Marty acts less like himself and more like his Travis Bickle character from the film he's trying to save. This is the story of that night.  Martin Scorsese is certainly one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Jake wants to know: who is your favorite filmmaker?

It's Taxi Driver and Joker for movie nerds! This week we're discussing the 1980 film Fade to Black.

Trotz Trumps Wahl und dem Ampel-Aus drängte sich der Fall Luigi Mangione Anfang Dezember ins Zentrum der Internetaufmerksamkeit. Mangione, der attraktive College-Boy aus gutem Hause, steht momentan wegen des Mordes an UnitedHealth-Care-CEO Brian Thompson vor Gericht. Doch statt Verurteilungen aus der Gesellschaft wurde er gefeiert und verteidigt: Mangione wurde zum Volkshelden – zum Rächer am korrupten System. Über Mangione-Memes könnten Doktorarbeiten geschrieben werden: Mangione als Che Guevara, Mangione als Boyfriend, Mangione als Jesus. Aber auch: Mangione als Joker – die Figur, die für manche ein Bösewicht und für andere ein Idol ist. In Filmklassikern gibt es einige solcher Figuren: Männer, die von der Gesellschaft übersehen und letztendlich gebrochen werden. De Niro in Taxi Driver, die Figur „V“ aus V for Vendetta oder auch Joaquin Phoenix' Interpretation des Jokers. In dieser Folge schauen wir, wie sich Mangione in Erzählungen von ikonisierter Selbstjustiz am System einreiht – und die gleichen komplizierten Fragen aufwirft. Was ist Gewalt? Kann man Individuen für systemisches Versagen verantwortlich machen? Was macht der schwindende Glaube an friedlichen Widerstand mit uns? Und ist die ganze Memefizierung von Mangione nicht eigentlich Ausdruck einer Gesellschaft, die schon längst aufgehört hat, an Werte zu glauben?

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Last Wednesday morning, Marvel Television treated fans to the long awaited first official teaser trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. The trailer was met with universal praise for its dark tone and brutal depictions of violence, elements that it shares with the beloved Netflix series. The nine-episode first season premieres March 4 on Disney Plus.
