The Schrader Series Pt. 3: The Screenplays: ’Taxi Driver,’’The Mosquito Coast,’ and ’Bringing Out the Dead.’

In which we wrap up our Schrader Series by talking about three of Paul Schrader's screenplays--films that he wrote but did not direct. We look at Taxi Driver, The Mosquito Coast, and Bringing Out the Dead. The Mosquito Coast was directed by Peter Weir, the other two films are Scorsese pictures. We also tell other stories about other things.
