Taxi Driver (1976) w. Rapper Mage from Freewill

A special guest is on to talk about a special movie, as degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are joined by rapper Mage of Freewill — who had a lot of bad ideas in his head to talk about Martin Scorsese's masterpiece 'Taxi Driver.' While discussing the brilliance of the filmmaking, Mage tells a story about the time he almost got arrested for guerilla-filmmaking a music video in Atlanta. On this ep, the boys get heavy into the machinations of a movie they regard as a degen tentpole. Of course they go over Robert De Niro's iconic performance, which may be his career-best, and is bolstered by wonderful supporting turns from a pimped-out Harvey Keitel, a manic Scorsese, a teenage Jodie Foster, and a grimey role from the dad from 'Everybody Loves Raymond' (Peter Boyle). Not to mention an enchanting performance from Cybill Shepherd whose beauty jumps off the screen even while going on what is possibly the worst first date. All those talents are able to come together in one of the scuzziest New York films that beautifully captures the filth of the era.  Check out more from Freewill and Pre-Save their new album, Influencer Dead, out November 22, 2024 on all streaming platforms: https://freewillcult.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lHvYUBoCmwCGQmR9akFLy
