WHAT WAS SAID
Representative transcript notes
American Gigolo (1980)
Praised as a major screenwriter-director whose repressed upbringing, transgressive interests, and lonely-man movies shape the film.
About 16 minHardcore (1979)
Praised as a master of mixing high and low, with deep autobiographical roots and strong visual/detail work, though the hosts note he and Scott clashed on set.
About 8 minTaxi Driver (1976)
Credited with writing from loneliness and breakdown, giving the film its personal, Calvinist, and obsessive texture.
About 0 minClose Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Discussed as part of early script development; Spielberg strongly disliked his script, while Schrader wanted a bigger, less ordinary protagonist.
About 16 minThe Exorcist (1973)
Referenced in connection with later Friedkin work and a general discussion of uneven filmographies.
