Joker (2019) v Taxi Driver (1976)

Social isolation special. We absolutely didn’t intend this. But, as Covid-19 reaches pandemic proportions and social distancing measures are put in place around the world, we find ourselves analysing two films that consider the consequences of social isolation. Rounds for this month 1 – The city 2 – Relationship with women 3 – Guns and violence 4 – Transition 5 – Legacy We hope that this episode brings you some joy and distraction from the current state of the world. But remember, if you’re having trouble coping in any way, please reach out to friends, family and helplines in your local country. There is no shame or weakness in getting assistance. And, a huge thank you to the front line staff in this crisis including medical staff, emergency personnel and anyone on those crucial helplines. Stay safe everyone.
