Robert and Bennett return to discuss what could be the legendary filmmaker’s greatest character in De Niro’s Rupert Pupkin
In the first two-part Split Picks, Robert Delany, Bennett Glace, and host Craig Wright take a deep look at two Martin Scorsese films that share little in common on the surface. The first, The King of Comedy (1982), features a Scorsese/Robert De Niro pairing that follows a wannabe comedian who takes a chance encounter with his hero to the ultimate extreme. The second episode focuses on Silence (2016), the third religious epic of Scorsese’s career. Though 1980s comedians and 17th Century Christian missionaries in Japan share few similarities, Robert, Bennett, and Craig explore the filmmaker’s traits that appear across his body of work and link these films with those of his mob epics.
