Podcasts about taxi drivers

¿Te imaginas que levantar la mano y gritar “¡taxi!” pueda ser ilegal? Pues en algunas ciudades de Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido y Canadá, hacerlo podría meterte en problemas.Cuando yo vivía en Latinoamérica, siempre levantaba la mano para llamar un taxi, pero en muchas partes uno tiene que usar una aplicación, llamar o ir a un sitio indicado para conseguir los taxis estacionados. Sin embargo, muchas personas ignoran la ley y siguen llamando un taxi de manera tradicional.¿Estás trabajando como conductor de Uber o taxi en un país angloparlante? ¿O quizás transportas muchos turistas extranjeros? Incluso si no, quizás sueles usar Uber o un taxi de vez en cuando. Este episodio te brindará frases y vocabulario muy útiles para comunicarte con pasajeros o un taxista que solo hablan inglés.Sube al volante, ajusta los retrovisores, ¡y arranquemos!

Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007), the high-energy action–adventure sequel directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure, The Sorcerer's Apprentice). Continuing the treasure-hunting legacy of the first film, this follow-up sends the Gates family across continents on a larger, riskier, and even more historical puzzle-solving mission. Nicolas Cage (Face/Off, Con Air) returns as Benjamin Franklin Gates, who becomes determined to clear his family's name after a mysterious page from John Wilkes Booth's diary implicates his ancestor in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Joined once again by Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds, Troy) as Dr. Abigail Chase and Justin Bartha (The Hangover, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) as the hilariously resourceful Riley Poole, the trio embarks on a globe-spanning quest that leads them from Paris to London to Mount Rushmore. The sequel expands with a standout supporting cast including Ed Harris (The Rock, Westworld) as villainous treasure hunter Mitch Wilkinson, Jon Voight (Mission: Impossible, Ray Donovan) as Ben's father Patrick Gates, Helen Mirren (The Queen, RED) as Ben's brilliant historian mother Dr. Emily Appleton, and Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Taxi Driver) returning as FBI Agent Sadusky. Packed with fun riddles, historical twists, and chaotic chemistry from its cast, Book of Secrets remains one of Disney's most entertaining modern adventure films — the perfect blend of humor, mystery, and bold, blockbuster-scale treasure hunting.

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 Milius, 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?

“Mr. Scorsese” ist eine jener Dokumentationen, die einem sofort das Gefühl geben, man bekomme etwas Echtes zu sehen. Es ist nicht nur ein Best-of großer Momente, sondern ein durchdachtes, ruhiges Porträt eines Mannes, der das Kino geprägt hat und trotzdem erstaunlich geerdet geblieben ist. Rebecca Miller begleitet Martin Scorsese mit spürbarem Respekt und mit einer Ruhe, die dieser Serie guttut. Nichts wirkt aufgeblasen und nichts unnötig dramatisiert. Schritt für Schritt entsteht das Bild eines Künstlers, der seine Arbeit seit Jahrzehnten mit derselben Mischung aus Neugier, Selbstkritik und Leidenschaft betreibt.Die Gespräche mit De Niro, DiCaprio, Spielberg und vielen anderen haben etwas Intimes. Sie wirken nicht wie große Statements für die Pressemappe, sondern wie Erinnerungen von Menschen, die ihn über weite Strecken ihres Lebens begleitet haben. Gerade die persönlichen Rückblicke, seine Kindheit in Little Italy, die katholische Prägung, das fragile asthmakranke Kind im engen New York der Nachkriegsjahre, lassen spüren, wie tief diese Erfahrungen später in seinen Filmen weitergearbeitet haben. Viele Motive, die sein Werk prägen, wirken nach dieser Dokumentation fast zwangsläufig.Besonders stark ist die Serie dort, wo Scorsese über seine Krisen spricht. Momente, in denen Studios Druck machten, Projekte zu scheitern drohten oder seine Vision infrage gestellt wurde. Die Episode rund um Taxi Driver, in der er offen darüber spricht, wie weit er zu gehen bereit war, um seinen Film zu schützen, zeigt nicht nur seine Beharrlichkeit, sondern auch seine Verletzlichkeit. Trotz all dieser Härte bleibt er erstaunlich selbstironisch und nie selbstgefällig.Millers Inszenierung ist zurückhaltend und präzise. Sie lässt Scorseses Stimme Raum und vertraut auf seine Erinnerungen, ohne sie zu überhöhen. So entsteht ein menschliches und oft überraschend leises Bild eines Regisseurs, der sich nie auf seinem Ruf ausgeruht hat.“Mr. Scorsese” ist keine spektakuläre Enthüllungsdokumentation. Sie braucht das auch nicht. Es ist ein ruhiges, sorgfältig erzähltes und respektvolles Porträt eines Filmemachers, dessen Filme unser Bild von Moral, Gewalt, Schicksal und Erlösung über Jahrzehnte geprägt haben. Genau deshalb funktioniert diese Dokumentation so gut. Sie lässt einen Mann sprechen, der sein Leben lang versucht hat, die Welt zu verstehen, Bild für Bild.

After being nominated for an Academy Award for her role as a child prostitute in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, Jodi Foster gave up acting to go to college. It was there that her Oscar-nominated performance made her the target of a deranged stalker. That stalker, John Hinckley Jr., was obsessed with Jodie Foster. He wrote her letters and called her on the phone. He was convinced she needed to be saved and that he was the one to do it. And in 1981, in Washington, D.C., Jodie Foster was the unknowing inspiration for and motive behind Hinckley's attempted assassination of a sitting American President. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including stalking and suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

Oscar-Winning legend Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon, Taxi Driver, The Departed) directs this epic tale about The Rise and Fall of the Mob in Las Vegas, based on true events.  It's the story of how mafia handicapper Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert DeNiro) took over the Tangiers casino on The Strip and helped bring it to unprecendented sucess, helped by mafia enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci).  He falls in love with a local hustler named Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) and over time, their relationship deteriorates as does his handle on many crazy things being done by Nicky....and eventually the Mob no longer had power in Las Vegas.  Nominated for one Oscar (Sharon Stone, Best Actress), this was initially met with some disappointment upon release as many compared it to Scorsese's similarly themed classic mob epic Goodfellas from five years prior.  Over time, its reputation has grown thanks to several memorable scenes and performances - the stacked cast also includes James Woods, Don Rickles, Kevin Pollak, Alan King, and Frank Vincent.Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send 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/

Jennifer Lawrence's breakthrough role in the 2010 drama Winter's Bone secured her first Academy Award nomination when she was just 20, and she won the Best Actress category two years later for Silver Linings Playbook. Since then, she has become one of the most prolific, critically acclaimed and highest paid actors in Hollywood as the star of The Hunger Games series and three X-Men movies. Other leading roles include American Hustle, Joy and, most recently, the psychological drama Die My Love.Jennifer talks to John Wilson about her childhood on her parents' farm in Kentucky. After being scouted by a modelling agency, she left school as a teenager and moved to New York to start working as a model and actor. She recalls how the film Taxi Driver, starring a young Jodie Foster, made a big impression on her as an aspiring actress and how Jodie Foster later became a role model when she directed Jennifer on the set of The Beaver. She also counts Gena Rowlands' performance in A Woman Under The Influence, written and directed by John Cassavetes, as an important inspiration, as well as working with directors David O Russell and Lynne Ramsay. Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive and film clips used:Uncle Buck, John Hughes, 1989 No Hard Feelings, Gene Stupnitsky, 2023 Taxi Driver, Martin Scorsese, 1976 Winter's Bone, Debra Granik, 2010 The Hunger Games, Gary Ross, 2012 American Hustle, David O Russell, 2013 Veep, Armando Iannucci, 2012 A Woman Under The Influence, John Cassavetes, 1974 Die My Love, Lynne Ramsay, 2025

In 2021, when New York City taxi drivers were dying by suicide and others were going on hunger strike, begging City Hall for relief from the debt trap that had set them up for failure and financial ruin, a young NY Assemblyperson named Zohran Mamdani stood with them. Now, taxi drivers are standing with Mamdani in his bid to become the next mayor of New York City. Reporting on the ground in New York, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Yellow Cab driver-owner and NY Taxi Workers Alliance member Mouhamadou Aliyu about the ongoing struggle for justice for NY taxi drivers—and what Mamdani's campaign means to them.Additional links/info:Zohram Mamdani campaign ad featuring MouhamadouMaximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “Cheated, desperate, financially ruined NYC taxi drivers go on hunger strike”NY Taxi Workers Alliance website, TikTok, and Facebook pageLuis Feliz Leon, In These Times, “Zohran Mamdani on the night shift for mayor”Credits:Videographer: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Mr. Scorsese is “Marty” to his friends and “Legend” to admirers and imitators.  But he's also still that kid, the "minuscule asthmatic”--as lovingly described by his ex-wife, Isabella Rossellini--who fervently loved both the movies he watched in Times Square as well as the characters that populated the Little Italy of his youth.  The results were "Mean Streets", "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", and "Goodfellas".     But as Rebecca Miller (“Personal Velocity”, “Maggie's Plan”, “Arthur Miller: Writer”) compellingly shows, Scorsese's triumph was not inevitable, nor is it simply the inevitable result of personal history yoked to directorial will. For while Scorsese has an anthropologist's eye, his films are not documentaries (except for the documentaries, of course!)  Rather, they are the product of his own prodigious preparation combined with a willingness to trust his actors (notably, DiNero and DiCaprio) to improvise–and, in the end, phenomenal editing shaped by deep learning from the French New Wave as well as his decades-long professional relationship with Thelma Schoonmaker.  While his films are often grounded in fully formed literary works, he makes of them what director Ari Aster calls “total cinema”.  And while the visuals putatively reign, the music often seems to take the lead, almost directing the camera's movements.  And in the end, in complicating the work of what may seem to be one of our most personal filmmakers, Miller suggests that Scorsese's wider purpose is to chronicle “the American project.”    You can watch the 5-part series “Mr. Scorcese” on Apple+   Follow: @rebeccamillerstoryteller on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X/twitter     The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Everyone from a GIF will be live in person at a convention center once we figure out how to rent it. Gore-themed birthday parties go crazy but the ARG is too hard. Dark triad style individuals such as Andrew Milonakis are leaving out poisoned cat poop for the neighborhood dogs to ensure that they never become the Jodie Foster in someone's Taxi Driver fantasy. Arby's meat nuggets are pretty good but later in the bathroom it might be a four-tiki-torcher plus a fire pit and a Febreze cloud that gets ignited. The guy in The Terminal was so lucky until he got turned into CGI and had to drive a Christmas train. China has a skeleton law and Perm is by the Urals.

Guest host comedian Shawn Murray returns! This week’s Nose looks at: Mr. Scorsese is a five-part, more-than-four-hour documentary series about the life and work of the director of Goodfellas and Taxi Driver and The Departed (and many more). It’s directed by Rebecca Miller and streaming on Apple TV. And: No Other Land won this year’s Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It covers the destruction of a Palestinian community in the West Bank, and it’s directed by a collective of four Palestinian-Israeli activists. No Other Land premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival, more than 20 months ago, and it has just become widely available to see in this part of the world basically for the first time this week.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, actor Robert De Niro surprised MSNBC's "The Weekend" panel after dropping an f-bomb during Sunday's show while describing Democratic pushback against President Trump. De Niro appeared on the show to discuss the recent "No Kings" protests that took place nationwide on Saturday and the Democratic Party's messaging strategy. The "Taxi Driver" actor largely complimented members of the party, including recently indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James, for standing against Trump. Also the President explains why he's not going to give 1.2 trillion dollars to the Democrats and 20 days with the Government shut down.

TAXI DRIVER Travis Bickle can't sleep, so he drives a cab all night. The city wears him down and he starts to crack. After meeting campaign worker Betsy, he fixates on “saving” the world. First by plotting a hit on a politician, then by trying to rescue a 12-year-old prostitute named iris as he descends into vigilante delusion, one ride at a time. Craig, Elisabeth and guest Brendan Agnew talk about sweaty New York, anti-hero or villain, Halloween goings on and the movie “Taxi Driver” on this week's Matinee Villains!! Show Notes 1:00 Craig, Elisabeth and Brendan Agnew talk about Marion's Halloween costume. 6:00 Craig, Elisabeth and Brendan discuss "Taxi Driver" 54:54 Recasting 1:24:59 Double Feature 1:31:19 Final Thoughts 1:35:37 A preview of next week's episode "Sinners" Matinee Villains month concludes one of the best horror movies of 2025:  "Sinners"

Berly and LA tackle Supernatural Season 8, Episode 19: "Taxi Driver" - and the episode title should really be "We Told You So" because the hosts called EVERYTHING.The episode opens with Kevin having horrific hallucinations of Crowley dismembering him on that disgusting houseboat (still not the bunker, Sam and Dean!). The hosts are STILL demanding Kevin get moved to safety, and spoiler alert: he doesn't, which goes about as well as you'd expect.Kevin deciphers the second trial: rescue an innocent soul from Hell and deliver it to Heaven. The hosts were thrilled at the prospect of seeing both realms, but the 45-minute runtime had other plans. Sam and Dean torture a crossroads demon (after filming the Harlem Shake video at that location - priorities!), who tells them about Ajay, a Reaper who smuggles souls for a price.Enter Ajay, a "cutie patootie" Reaper taxi driver who agrees to help for the low price of a future favor. He drops Sam in Purgatory (Hell-adjacent real estate!), which leads to the easiest journey ever - one monster fight, a conveniently placed weapon, and boom, he's in Hell. The hosts were suspicious of how smoothly everything went.The heartbreaking twist: Ajay reveals he took Bobby Singer to Hell. Sam rescues Bobby from his cell (Bobby's ghost skills are on point now!), and they escape back to Purgatory. But Ajay has been killed by Crowley, leaving them stranded.Cue the tears: Dean calls Benny for help. The vampire who doesn't fit in with humans OR vampires agrees to sacrifice himself, leading Sam through Purgatory to the portal. Benny stays behind to fight off other vampires, choosing to remain in Purgatory rather than return. Berly was SOBBING, noting this was somehow more tragic than if Benny had succumbed to bloodlust.Sam successfully gets Bobby's soul to Heaven (with Naomi's help - she's maybe not completely evil?), completing the second trial. But back at the houseboat, Crowley captures Kevin after killing Mrs. Tran off-screen (the hosts are NOT okay with these beloved character deaths happening off-camera).The episode ends with everything gone - Kevin, the tablet, all his notes. The hosts smugly remind everyone they predicted Sam would come around on Benny once he actually met him, and Dean admits he didn't burn Benny's bones, leaving the door open for his return.Berly and LA were emotionally wrecked by Benny's sacrifice while simultaneously vindicated by their predictions. They're still confused about Naomi's true motives but appreciate finally getting some forward movement on her character."I already said goodbye to you once, Sam. Didn't seem to take. No reason to think I won't see you again somewhere down the road."Sources:https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Taxi_Driverhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2076426/episodes/14802473Send us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

"Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. Today I'm diving deep into a few subjects that hit me hard this week — starting with one of the greatest films ever made, Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. We'll get into the grit, the genius, and the madness of Travis Bickle, and how that movie still punches you in the gut almost 50 years later. After all these years what do you think happened to Travis. Then I'm switching gears into the world of metal — breaking down Metallica's “Disposable Heroes”, Is this their greatest song? And finally, I want to talk about the loss of D'Angelo, an artist who changed the game with soul, honesty, and groove. Brown Sugar is hands down one of the best records of the 90's   Thank you for always tuning in and remember to keep the Candles Lit.

In this episode of r/NeckbeardStories we encounter a creepy neckbeard taxi driver who seems to think that it's OK to hit on his passengers. He even goes so far as to steal her number from work in order to contact her outside of business hours. It always takes a certain amount of trust to get into a taxi, you're essentially handing over your life to someone else... And this fake taxi neckbeard seems to revel in that fact. It doesn't matter what your background is, you always need to treat people like people and not use them simply to get off. Neckbeards seem to learn this lesson particularly slow and it really does make my blood boil... So we must bring it to light so others don't suffer alone.

Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey are diving into Little Fockers (2010), the third film in the beloved comedy franchise following Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. Directed by Paul Weitz, this raunchy family comedy once again pits Greg Focker (Ben Stiller — Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Night at the Museum) against his intimidating father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro — Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, The Irishman) as they prepare for Greg and Pam's twins' birthday party. The all-star ensemble cast includes Teri Polo (The West Wing, The Arrival) as Pam Byrnes, Blythe Danner (Meet the Parents, The Great Santini) as Dina Byrnes, Barbra Streisand (Funny Girl, Meet the Fockers) as Roz Focker, and Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, The Graduate) returning as Bernie Focker. The supporting cast is packed with comedy powerhouses like Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Loki) as Kevin, Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) as a contractor, Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Sin City) as pharmaceutical rep Andi Garcia, and Laura Dern (Jurassic Park, Big Little Lies) as the headmistress of a prestigious school. Famous moments and highly searched scenes from Little Fockers include Greg's awkward “Godfocker” confrontation, the tension-filled hospital sequence, Jessica Alba's chaotic and seductive turn as Andi, and Jack's ongoing “circle of trust” test with Greg. While not as critically acclaimed as its predecessors, the film has gained attention as the outrageous capstone to the trilogy, bringing back the awkward humor, family chaos, and big-name star power fans expect. Join us as we break down the funniest scenes, react to the movie's wildest moments, and analyze how Little Fockers compares to Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers!

It's Taylor Swift release week! The girls talk movie adaptations, pranks on set, and a tragic celeb divorce.

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

This is a free preview of a paid episode. 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:

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/
