In this riveting episode of Two Movies Enter, One Movie Leaves, we plunge into the psyche of two men on the brink of societal collapse. It's a face-off between the urban decay of 'Taxi Driver' and the sun-soaked streets of 'Falling Down.' Our hosts delve deep into the minds of two antiheroes – one in New York, the other in Los Angeles – as they navigate through their personal infernos.

Will Travis Bickle's haunting journey through the grimy underbelly of New York, driven by Scorsese's masterful direction and De Niro's iconic performance, claim the crown? Or will the piercing LA heat and Michael Douglas's descent into vigilante madness in 'Falling Down' resonate more with our hosts? Expect a thorough dissection of the characters' twisted paths, the societal themes at play, and the unique directorial choices that shaped these cinematic gems.

Join us as we score each film across a variety of categories, from plot plausibility to the all-important "it" factor, and ultimately decide which movie's portrayal of a man's fall from grace is the most compelling. Will it be the slow burn of 'Taxi Driver,' or will the frenetic energy of 'Falling Down' take the win? Tune in to find out in this battle of unravelling sanity.
