In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Werewolf Ambulance is a horror movie comedy podcast. Allen and Katie watch horror movies from all eras and of all qualities and then discuss them in a not-so-academic way (just as the name "Werewolf Ambulance" might imply!) and then discuss and rate them. The episodes do contain spoilers, so please watch the films before listening if that bothers you!

Ep 31: Taxi Driver

Lady P is joined by Carrie Specht and Anne Marie Kelly to talk about Martin Scorsese's 1976 feature TAXI DRIVER. TAXI DRIVER is tied for the 31st spot on the Sight and Sound Critics' Poll with another "Golden Age" cornerstone: Francis Ford Coppola's THE GODFATHER PT. II. Yes, two of the darkest entries in the 1970's cinema canon landed side-by-side on the "Greatest Films of All Time" list. A coincidence? Perhaps. But nevertheless, while one may forever be the loneliest number, 31 is now officially in the running for broodiest.
And speaking of Coppola, a few weeks ago, during an off-air conversation, Carrie casually mentioned that she thinks Francis Ford Coppola is the "greatest living American director." We felt this statement deserved greater unpacking, so this week we hit the record button and talked in detail about it means to be a "uniquely-American" filmmaker. Then the panelists each offer up their picks for top auteur.
