After the break, check out the latest episode of Travis Bickle, the only movie podcast ever recorded by human beings.
On this episode, Tucker is joined by Nina Stone, Sara McHenry & Tom McHenry, and they get down to the business of Martin Scorsese's first ten movies, not counting shorts and music documentaries. How do the do this? BY USING BRACKETS. That's right! It's a nice big war conversation about favorites and least favorites and an attempt to get towards talking about philosophy and such. At one point, Tucker says "No, you're demeaning yourself"--and everyone laughs and laughs. What are the movies, though, you ask?
Who's That Knocking At My Door (1967-9)
Boxcar Bertha (1972)
Mean Streets (1973)
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)
Taxi Driver (1976)
New York, New York (1977)
Raging Bull (1980)
The King of Comedy (1982)
After Hours (1985)
The Color of Money (1986)
And we also touch upon Joker, which came out last year and has only gotten worse in my estimation.
Can't quite put my finger on it, but these latest episodes have been 50 percent more listenable. Great work.
