009. The King of Comedy

De Niro…. Scorsese…. Teaming up for the 5th time and 4th time in a row. We’ve seen De Niro as a violent mobster, a violent loner, a violent saxophonist, a violent boxer, and now… a comedian?? But not just a comedian, a comic with obsessive tendencies and a complex relationship with fame and celebrities. In this dark comedy we dive into the neurosis of Rupert Pupkin and his quest for fame and fortune, by any means necessary. Join Forrest and Kevin as they discuss this hard left turn in the tone of the Scorsese X De Niro partnership. How does this film reflect the current time’s relationship with fame and celebrity? What is real and what’s in the head of our lead character? Dive down the rabbit hole with us to laugh and dissect The King of Comedy.

008. Raging Bull

Scorsese and De Niro are together for their third time in a row (4th overall), and wait for it… De Niro is playing a troubled and abusive character who’s his own worst enemy. Don’t get us wrong this is a masterpiece, but there’s a bit of a theme going on here… Hey, this is the fun of watching the filmography in order! We get to see the themes develop over time in Marty’s work. In Raging Bull, We get Marty’s take on a sports movie through the lens of a biopic following the rise and fall of real life boxer Jake Lamotta in dazzling Black and White! When did this come out again? 1980!! Cool, love this for them that they made a successful B&W movie in 1980. Join Kevin and Forrest as we dive into Marty’s 7th feature film, is it a knock out or are Marty & DeNiro on the ropes?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
