80. Boxing Films: Raging Bull (feat. Lorna Searl)
Manage episode 357838620 series 2835308
In the first episode of our Boxing theme, we delve into Martin Scorsese's 1980 masterpiece, Raging Bull. Starring a young and up-and-coming Joe Pesci, alongside an Oscar-winning performance from Robert De Niro, this film takes a deep dive into the turbulent life of Jake LaMotta, a middleweight boxer whose self-destructive tendencies threaten to ruin his career and personal relationships. On this one we explore the film's themes of toxic masculinity, jealousy, and redemption, as well as its stunning black-and-white cinematography and beautifully crafted sequences. Whether you're fan of boxing or just love a good character study, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the crossroads of boxing and cinema. We also reference Harry Potter way too much... I don't even know.
We're also are happy to introduce our first guest of the season Lorna Searl. Lorna is an editor at Trim London, a cinephile, and Jabriel's sugar mama (she finances the podcast). You can follow her by checking out the links below:
