About this episode
The episode explores the themes of decay and anti-heroism in Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver'.
Does the news today make you feel like you're going crazy? Travis Bickle is not a man to look up to, but Martin Scorsese's brilliant classic makes us empathize with Travis' rapidly decaying state of mind. Is he an anti-hero or straight up bad guy? Let us know in the comments. Any rude or negative comments will be taken down like a mobster running a prostitution ring. #taxidriver #martinscorcese #robertdeniro Pat McDonald is a writer for Hollywood Chicago.
