Sam and Peter talk about a master of the old school from the period of New Hollywood.
Sam is joined by Peter Hogenson to talk about filmmaker and sometime Nick Nolte impersonator, Paul Schrader seen here lamenting about the state of film in his characteristic cranky voice. They also talk about his theory about the transcendental style in the modern cinema landscape. They start off with an Indie Wire article discussing Schrader’s new introduction to his book. From there the conversation touches on the following:
Easy Riders, Raging Bulls (2003) directed by Kenneth Bowser
Taxi Driver (1976) directed by Martin Scorsese
First Reformed (2017) directed by Paul Schrader
The Canyons directed by Paul Schrader
Empire (1965) directed by Andy Warhol
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) directed by Mel Stuart
And introducing David Lynch, an up and coming filmmaker from Missoula, Montana.
