#22: Taxi Driver (1978)

Show Notes Still Applicable: We stand with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA   We go back in time to revisit Taxi Driver – definitely a more thrilling Scorsese film than Raging Bull. We chatted about this film five years ago, so here it is again, with an addendum re: how thrilling it is (spoiler: pretty damn thrilling).   “Amity and Lemuel find out the difference between porn films and date movies. We also swear a whole bunch. Amity is torn by the movie and feels badly about womanhood. We also get schooled on the clap back by Mr. Bernard Herrmann. Listen along!”   Recommendations: Don’t watch Taxi Driver and Clockwork Orange back to back   Next up: A Clockwork Orange (1971)   Email us at [email protected] Twitter: @latecomerspod Find Amity @ www.amityarmstrong.com and @AmityArmstrong on Twitter Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/
