Show notes
In this episode of Remakers Mark, we discuss Martin Scorsese’s meditative tale of dirty New York and antihero Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver. In part one, we recast the movie, including a discussion of who we would have direct the remake – Scorsese’s shoes are tough ones to fill! Along the way we praise Robert DeNiro’s acting, especially in his ability to say so many sentences without making any points, and his skill with stunted phone conversations, and constantly mix up Senator Palantine with Chancellor Palpatine. Come on, it’s a perfectly honest mistake.
