Hi everyone,

We are back with the 12th episode of Talking Pictures, and we have another episode of Auteur Archive, in which we discuss the one and only Martin Scorsese, one of cinema's greatest artists.

We love his movies, his film appreciation, and his film archival work, so we talk about all of that. We discuss his early movies—Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Raging Bull—along with his cinephilia and how he inspires us to go to the theatres and seek and talk about movies, his Film Foundation work, his Marvel opinions and what we think of it. Cinema will be forever indebted to him.

We were joined by Dhruv from The Queen is Dead podcast and Akashdeep, a filmmaker, who will join us for the other Scorsese recordings as well.

We also have a voice note from Vikas from Australia about Scorsese and what he loves about his films. You can send us voice or text notes about Scorsese or how he has inspired your love for films, and we will include them in the upcoming episodes.
