0:00:00 - 0:01:23 - INTROS - This week, we have a very special episode of Travis Bickle on the Riviera. I know we like to joke on this show, but this week, we have a frank and serious discussion of the depiction of race in film and it's impact on culture. In order to help me in this endeavor, specialist in racism and Atlantic contributor David Brothers joins me for 90 minutes of contemplative discussion. It gets deep, not for the faint of heart. The movies which we discussed are:
0:01:24 - 0:25:21 - Out of the Past (1947), directed by Jaques Tourner, starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas, Rhonda Fleming.
0:25:22 - 0:42:52 - The Long Goodbye (1973), directed by Robert Altman, written by Leigh Brackett, shot by Vilmos Zsigsmond, starring Elliot Gould, Sterling Hayden, Nina Van Pallandt, and Henry Gibson.
0:42:53 - 1:06:21 - Stray Dog (1949), directed by Akira Kurosawa, starring Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura.
1:06:22 - 1:14:08 - Gangster Squad (2012), directed by Rueben Fleischer, starring Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte.
1:14:09 - 1:33:38 - Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion (1972), directed by Shunya Ito, starring Meiko Kanji
