#228 – Taxi Driver | Directed by Martin Scorsese (with Anna)

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) returns to the podcast to talk all about Taxi Driver, the 1976 psychological drama film about a Vietnam War veteran who heads down a bitter and lonely path while working as a nighttime taxi driver and wrestling with what he views to be urban decay in New York City. Travis Bickle’s Madonna-whore complex, the multiple parallels and contrasts that can be drawn between this movie and Drive, Jodie Foster being so goddamn young here, and the charming chemistry between Cybill Shepherd and Albert Brooks pop up as a few of the topics for this episode.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, Taxi Driver stars Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepherd, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris, Diahnne Abbott, Harry Northup, Steven Prince, Victor Argo, and Scorsese himself.
