Jim and Bill Enter the Schraderverse

Stuff We’ve Seen

Welcome to the Schraderverse: The Paul Schraderverse if you will. A man whose filmography is almost more a state of mind than an actual compendium of movies.

Paul Schrader is a tough director to pin down, so to tackle the screenwriter of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, Jim tapped his old pal, and longtime listener of the show, Bill From Queens to sit in. Bill is a Schrader fanatic, much more so than Jim, who has many problems with Schrader's directorial efforts.

Will sparks fly? Well, let's not call Jim and Bill's episode contentious, but the pair is not afraid to mix it up.

In the first of at least two episodes on Paul Schrader (there is enough material for potentially 3 depending on how the editing goes) Jim and Bill duke it out over the merits of Schrader as they find themselves sucked into the Schraderverse.

And where's Teal at? Well, you'll just have to take a listen to find out. But warning in advance: you can't trust Jim whenever he tells you where Teal's hiding.
