Will & Jared are beginning to peer into the works of Paul Schrader this week with what is perhaps his biggest writing credit to date: Taxi Driver. Martin Scorsese directs this 1976 neo-noir classic that sadly seems more true today than when it premiered almost fifty years ago.

Next week: Paul Schrader's 2017 film First Reformed. 

Content Warning: Both the film and the discussion herein deal with difficult themes of gun violence, suicide, mental illness, and hate. While some of these may not be unusual topics for Debaser, this film is particularly dark and resonant so we do want to provide this warning.

You can listen to Reno Championship Wrestling & Spellbound and Gagged anywhere you get podcasts.
