On the BiTTE

Part two of Schrader-thon! It wasn't deliberate BUT, the quality takes a bit of a knock the further we go on. Like life, it is full of peaks and troughs, ebbs and flows and Malcolm McDowell. There's some cool stuff to enjoy here (even if it's too long)!

American Gigolo

Part one of Schrader-thon is here!

Exploring the filmography of Paul Schrader has been an absolute treat and we're starting this series off with a bang! We both really liked this one.

American Gigolo (1980) marks Schrader’s third directorial effort, and Richard Gere’s very first full-frontal appearance (but certainly not his last). Paul Schrader has become one of Laura’s favorite directors lately, so we’re both excited to delve into this man’s films. If things go as planned, we’ll even get to talk about some of his movies that DON’T have full-frontal...

Currently streaming free on HBO Max and anywhere else you stream your movies if you don’t have HBO Max (and you want to pay to rent it).

The Canyons

Part three of Schrader-thon... Uh... Yay! This film was rather divisive. Sometimes Laura defends films against Ryan's wrath for the sake of defending it, seeing what modicum of value it holds, like it's a frail creature, seeking warmth, comfort and sanctuary. At times, it's an admirable quality. Ryan's here to say; bolt your doors, close your windows, turn the heat up and let Paul Schrader's THE CANYONS perish in the cold.
