Oh my god.... that's my podcast. Almost exactly a decade after he left, Paul Schrader returns to Grand Rapids, Michigan for his second ever directed feature film, 1979's Hardcore.

After 40 years in the desert, writing beloved classics such as Taxi Driver, finally--FINALLY--ol' Paul Schrader takes the reins with his directorial debut, 1978's Blue Collar. A troubled production, a great performance from Richard Pryor, cocaine, systemic racism in America, Detroit-- all ingredients for a great directorial debut if you ask us.

Stop me if you've heard this one before...Paul Schrader thinks this movie was taken away from him and that it's worse because of it. In the case of the 1977 movie Rolling Thunder directed by John Flynn, maybe he's right, but probably not because both Jarrod and Jordan agree that this movie is great and has Schrader's sensibilities all over it. Listen in on our discussion of the last Paul Schrader script before he becomes a director himself.
