  • Raging Bull (1980)
    Dec 18 2024

    Jarrod and Jordan welcome back a familiar face from the Paul Schrader extended universe, Martin Scorsese, as they discuss the colossal 1980 film, Raging Bull. Schrader's involvement in this film may have been smaller than it was the last time he and Scorsese brought a miserable shell of a man to our screens, but his presence is felt in the final product, a movie that makes boxing look more elegant and more brutal than its ever looked before.

  • Old Boyfriends (1979)
    Sep 11 2024

    On this week's Intrinsically Profane, Jarrod and Jordan have the rare opportunity to discuss a Paul Schrader-penned film that we have no idea how he feels about, as he's never commented 1979's Old Boyfriends. No wayward Facebook posts; no asides published in Variety. Nothing.

    Astutely re-worked and directed by Joan Tewkesbury--unfortunately the only film she would direct--and featuring a great lead performance from Talia Shire, we dare say this is an under-discussed and under-valued part of both Schrader's career and Hollywood history in general. Enjoy as we go long on it here--after doing a cool 30 minutes on M. Night Shyamalan's latest film Trap, of course.
