Schrader Ep. 24: Bringing Out The Dead (1999) with Soraya Sebghati

Pod Casty For Me

Somebody call 911 - it's a new episode podcast! Only kidding, there's no emergency. Except you might have some friggin palpitations when you hear our great conversation on Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese's final collaboration (to date), BRINGING OUT THE DEAD, with film writer and literal rock star Soraya Sebghati! We're talking Cage, we're talking TAXI DRIVER redux, we're talking the novel coronavirus, we're talking blood-soaked dreadlocks, we're talking all kinds of stuff. Great movie, great guest, great ep.
