    Episode 41: First Reformed

    Episode 41: First Reformed

    This week on Remainders we watched the 2017 film First Reformed. An all-time best performance by Ethan Hawke, First Reformed follows Hawke playing a small-town minister as he grapples with despair brought upon by the looming threat of climate change. Hawke’s crisis of faith leads him down a dark path as he bounces between hope and despair in a world that often leaves little to have faith in. Paul Schrader’s script and direction bring back many themes he explored in Taxi Driver into a modern world with new uncertainties about the future.

    Other topics 90s yuppie thrillers, Darren’s selection for a new art exhibition, drinking with Cedric the Entertainer, The Cure’s summer tour and the lasting influence of their album Pornography, favorite Michael J. Fox movies and the new documentary Still, William H. Macy, thoughts on AI and what it may mean for the artistic process, and Jen Pop’s new video Saw In Half.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Toronto native, Jas Takhar, is the son of hard working immigrants.  After seeing their work ethic, he decided that he wanted to make a bigger impact, and become an entrepreneur.

    Soon after deciding to try his hand in real estate, he co-founded REC Canada, and in the course of 16 years, has successfully propelled his team to the top 3 position in Canada under Royal LePage in 2020.

    The empire that Jas sought to build was rocked with the tragic and sudden loss of his business partner and mentor, and it wasn't an easy road back.  But having gone through that experience has driven Jas to be even more impactful in the work that he does.

    THE PROFESSIONAL BACKSTORY:  

    With 60+ realtors and 11 support staff, the team advises and assists over 625 buyers, sellers and investors, yearly, across the Greater Toronto Area, resulting in a total of over $1.6B in transactions.  

    Jas’ area of expertise is in helping investors build out their real estate portfolios.  Wanting to share his knowledge and experience with the masses, he wrote a book titled Real Estate Intelligence, which teaches others how to buy or sell real estate on their own.  

    Furthering his pursuit to educate and motivate, he now hosts one of the top business podcasts in the country, the Jas Takhar Podcast–found on all podcast platforms– here he interviews guests who share their success stories on real estate investing, entrepreneurship and leadership.  

    His hope is to provide inspiring content to aid others in removing the friction from their own life, in order to help them get from where they are to where they want to be.

    After gaining so much from the community he was accepted in, Jas decided to sit down and start a new company called From The Ground Up Media, better known as FTGU.  

    As the co-founder Jas has create a pathway for new real estate agents to step foot into the content creation space. Showing new agents how they can start producing content and even their own podcasts!

    Julio Perez Silva - Psychopath from Alto Hospicio - Chile

    Julio Perez Silva - Psychopath from Alto Hospicio - Chile

    Julio Pérez Silva is a Chilean serial killer who was active between September 1998 to August  2001.

    He turned into being the most brutal serial killer in Chilean modern history.

    Known as the Psychopath from Alto Hospicio, his crimes took place in the Tarapaca Region, specifically in the city of Iquique and in the town of Alto Hospicio, hence his nickname is the Psychopath from Alto Hospicio. 

    Julio's MO was always the same. 

    While working as a taxi driver, he intercepted girls and young women with offers of free rides, then he would take them somewhere remote, where he would rape and kill them with blows to the head. 

    Later, Julio would throw the bodies in deep abandoned mines. 

    He was convicted of killing 14 women and was sentenced to life imprisonment on February 26, 2004.

    Elliott Kalan on 'Taxi Driver'

    Elliott Kalan on 'Taxi Driver'

    Writer (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Maniac of New York) and co-host of the The Flop House Elliott Kalan has loved film and New York City almost all his life. While cinema has offered him no shortage of characters to relate to, there was one character that Elliott related to as a teenager that, for him, represents the very things he is most happy to have grown beyond. And that’s how we’ve come to discuss Martin Scorsese's dark 1976 classic, Taxi Driver.

    Plus, a unique One Quick Thing about another DeNiro picture (sorta), Joker.

    094 | Joker ft. Thatcher Radler

    Connor & Jon are joined by Thatcher Radler to discuss Joker and why it pulled so much from King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. Jon is bothered by the messiness of the Batman and DC universe. Connor can't stand the film's tone of uber-serious. Thatcher progressively realizes how much of a rip-off this film is.

     

    WARNING: Major spoilers for Joker, minor spoilers for Taxi Driver & King of Comedy

    The Fifth Element (1997)

    " You no trouble. Me... Fifth element... supreme being... me protect you."

    Welcome back to another futuristic, hover-cab drivin’, multi-passin’, and cheerfully crazy head trippin’ episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!!

    This week, we’re taking a little break from the Summer Blockbusters and new releases to revisit a little 1990’s sci-fi action film starring Bruce Willis, which just turned 25, that has become something of a modern classic nowadays,

    None other than The Fifth Element… which MUST be found!!

    So join us as we travel into the future to find out if The Fifth Element “ is a  misfired European attempt to make an American-style sci-fi spectacular that should’ve ended up in a Walmart bargain bin, or if it's still one of the great goofy movies that was ahead of its time, that deserves to be viewed as a cult classic in the 25 years since!!

    "Wanna Play It Hard? Let's Play It Hard."

    What a film. This is cinema. It was amazing to finally take this in the way it should be. Me and Charles were completely hypnotized for the first 30 minutes and had so many first thoughts. We got into other casting options, the travesty at the 1977 Oscars, the fashion (specifically Betsy), and how this music score was top notch.

    Hunger Strike! How Immigrant Taxi Drivers Took on City Hall

    Hunger Strike! How Immigrant Taxi Drivers Took on City Hall

    When Augustine Tang’s father passed away, Augustine decided to inherit his taxi medallion – the license that had allowed his father to drive a yellow taxi cab in New York City for decades. But the medallion came with a $530,000 debt trap and years of struggling to escape it.

    Augustine’s friend Kenny, a fellow taxi cab driver, committed suicide. So did several other drivers who were crushed under the weight of these impossible debts. In hopes of preventing another death, Tang joined a push by the local taxi drivers’ union, to campaign for debt relief. And eventually, city resistance to worker demands culminated in a 15-day hunger strike to convince City Hall that immigrant taxi drivers deserved a fair deal.

    The drivers’ struggles for livable working conditions showed how political power doesn’t just come down to votes. It’s a reminder how strong collective will can be, especially for those often silenced and ignored by our imperfect democracy.
