Show Notes
This month’s Wednesday Watch Party revisits Martin Scorsese’s 1976 classic “Taxi Driver,” a film that remains one of the most unsettling portraits of loneliness, alienation, and urban disillusionment in American cinema. Jared Bowen is joined by Callie Crossley and Mark Anastasio, Artistic Director of The Coolidge Corner Theatre, to ask whether Travis Bickle’s post-Vietnam America still holds up today — and what the film reveals now about masculinity, violence, and isolation. We also take listeners calls and observations from the live audience at the Boston Public Library.
