  • Old Boyfriends (1979)
    Sep 11 2024

    On this week's Intrinsically Profane, Jarrod and Jordan have the rare opportunity to discuss a Paul Schrader-penned film that we have no idea how he feels about, as he's never commented 1979's Old Boyfriends. No wayward Facebook posts; no asides published in Variety. Nothing.

    Astutely re-worked and directed by Joan Tewkesbury--unfortunately the only film she would direct--and featuring a great lead performance from Talia Shire, we dare say this is an under-discussed and under-valued part of both Schrader's career and Hollywood history in general. Enjoy as we go long on it here--after doing a cool 30 minutes on M. Night Shyamalan's latest film Trap, of course.

  • Blue Collar (1978)
    Aug 14 2024

    After 40 years in the desert, writing beloved classics such as Taxi Driver, finally--FINALLY--ol' Paul Schrader takes the reins with his directorial debut, 1978's Blue Collar. A troubled production, a great performance from Richard Pryor, cocaine, systemic racism in America, Detroit-- all ingredients for a great directorial debut if you ask us.
