Show Notes
This week on the pod we talk about some movies! Two of these films are among the best films of all time. Stay Hungry, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, who's name I just copied and pasted from Google, Jeff Bridges and Sally Field, is not. Our co-host, Dave, who has seen Solo at least 5 times and Cats at least once, had never seen Taxi Driver or Network. We start with his take on Taxi Driver and how the timeless first-person narrative and political undertones keep this Scorsese classic as the standard bearer. We then talk about how ridiculously good Network is- the satire, the humor, the relentlessness of all of the actors and characters. We most certainly talk about how both of these films are extremely relevant and an immediate re-watch by all is recommended. Doctor's orders. We wrap up with a discussion of Stay Hungry: Was it really that bad?
