Charlie Talbert hadn't seen TAXI DRIVER

A presentation of The PAPER STREET Podcast, 'LATE TO THE PARTY' is a new recurring program that brings filmmakers, friends, and entertainment industry pros on to discuss one of their major movie blind spots. The guest chats with hosts Shawn Talley and Cameron Burns before watching the film, then reconvenes with them after having seen it to all share their thoughts on the movie and much more!​

This go-round, actor Charlie Talbert (MEGALOPOLIS, REBEL RIDGE, the upcoming SHELBY OAKS) was late to the party on TAXI DRIVER, but we're glad he made it! The hosts and Charlie discuss the film's dynamite cast, how well it holds up, its highly-debated ending, and where the film ranks in Scorsese's oeuvre—and among films, period—as well as De Niro's all-timer performance and his iconic "You talkin' to me?" scene. If you've seen the 1976 film TAXI DRIVER, check out this in-depth conversation. And if you haven't, you're late to the party, but that's okay; we'll still be here when you get to it!
