Buckle up for guest ⁠Cliff Froehlich⁠'s pick, Martin Scorsese's landmark 1976 film ⁠Taxi Driver⁠, with a hall-of-fame performance from Robert DeNiro. The great St. Louis film-scene leader guides Andrew and Josh through his cinematic upbringing in St. Louis and the morally murky streets of Scorsese's scuzzy NYC. Despite all that, do Andrew and Josh think Taxi Driver belongs in the Take-Up's pantheon? After they answer that burning question, they'll recommend One More Thing with Jia Zhang-ke's ⁠Caught by the Tides⁠, and Stephen King's ⁠From a Buick 8⁠.

Next week Andrew and Josh continue talking King, going long on the latest big-screen adaptation of his work, ⁠The Long Walk⁠.
