75. The King of Comedy (1982) with Thomas Mariani

Thomas Mariani returns to the podcast. Previously we've talked about Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and The Muppets Take Manhattan. This time Rafe and Thomas talk about an underappreciated Martin Scorsese film, The King of Comedy, which was driven back into the spotlight a few years ago because of the film Joker. Just how much of an influence did Scorsese have on Todd Phillips's movie? Has Rafe come around on Robert De Niro yet? And how relevant is a satirical black comedy from the '80s today? We discuss all of this and more!
