Episode 95: Paul Schrader

Bill Ackerman returns to talk about the underrated Paul Schrader who most folks cite as the screenwriter of such films as TAXI DRIVER & RAGING BULL.  Maybe one day down the road, we'll do a writer's club episode on him, but for now, we're focusing on several of his overlooked films as a director starting with the brilliant BLUE COLLAR and ending with the debacle DYING OF THE LIGHT.  Throughout the conversation, a defense of Lindsay Lohan comes up as well as lots of love for DaFoe and Schrader's incredibly interesting filmography.
