EWB 372 PATREON EPISODE HOLLYWOOD BABYLON W EVAN HOPPER
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
This week, we are pulling an episode from the Patreon vault. Evan Hopper of the Quell and I do these types of episodes from time to time called Hollywood Babylon where to get into “interesting films”.
Taxi Driver is an iconic film, a masterpiece by legendary filmmakers Martin Scorcese and Paul Schrader . Its influence can be seen all over the last several decades of film. Lurking in the shadows you will find God’s Lonely Man, pretty much a sleazy rip off, a movie that most may dismiss as pure exploitation, but for some reason, we can’t seem to stop thinking about this mid-90’s study in loneliness and depravity.
Intro: “Hollywood Babylon” – Evan Hopper
Outro: “Faust” – Verberis

We have a One from the Vault this week. We’re going back to 2019; back then, I was hosting Metal Matters, the official Gimme Metal podcast.
