Taxi Driver
Mike and Dan go long on this one, but ask for your pardon--they are, after all, discussing Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) and have a lot to say. Much of the episode is an argument about how the viewer is meant to regard Travis, part of which results in Mike asking, "Well, then why does Travis look in the rear-view mirror?" and Dan responding, "BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU DRIVE." Is Travis a sociopath with a death wish who has decided to act before he's hired as a cabbie--or is he a frustrated searcher for meaning in a cesspool of a city? Take a listen and let us know which one of us is the square. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/15minutefilmfanatics/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/15minutefilmfanatics/support
