Schrader Ep. 5: Rolling Thunder (1977)
Manage episode 410768766 series 3520445
Get your hand out of that garbage disposal and press play, listener! We're doing our best to do an episode on John Flynn's 1977 vetsploitation nasty ROLLING THUNDER, but mostly we end up talking about Paul Schrader's mucked-with script. It's a fascinating study in how a story can go from TAXI DRIVER damning to DEATH WITH reactionary with just a few strokes of Heywood Gould's pen. Plus some Vietnam talk, a COCKTAIL/RAIN MAN tangent, and Tommy Lee Jones. Good ep!
