Listen Later

Welcome to NYC in the 1970’s. On the brink of bankruptcy and the wounds of Vietnam fresh in the minds of the people. The streets are dirty and the buildings condemned. The only brightness coming from the neon marquees of adult theaters. The people of Gotham,…ahem New York, need a hero. Will this hero come in the form of a politician making promises of a rosy tomorrow, or will the hero be a night dwelling loner, who will clean up the streets by any means necessary. No this isn’t Batman… this is TAXI DRIVER. Tune in for Forrest and Kevin’s discussion on this classic Scorcese film, coming in at number 5 in his filmography, this amazing art piece is deep, haunting, and you can’t look away.
