They were silent and each of them were just thinking, this is just shit and I'm so embarrassed for this guy right now.

And then he just went upstairs.

Oh, that's so good.

And that, of course, became the biggest grossing film in history.

Well, I would say automatically the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute by Mozart.

I knew you were going to say this and I know why too.

Because my bird sings it all the time, having been trained to sing it by my daughter who subsequently then moved away to university and now the bird lives in my room.

Oh, God.

Anyway, so I don't actually know any other pieces of classical music.

Or even Warner Brothers, I mean, or, you know, cartoon, you know.

The Simpsons.

You've really seized the wheel here of the Taxi Driver ride.

Because I've got to say, this is the most fun I've seen you have in your life, being allowed into Classic FM and being allowed to pounce around as though you belong there.

Thank you very much for that belatedly statement.

Okay, taxi driver, back to taxi driver.

So the reason that I'm thinking about this is because, I'm sorry to be so boring, but like the same, you know, What Went Wrong podcast people did.

I was listening to this on the drive back from Wagga.

They noted the 50-year anniversary and did this really great story

account of how Taxi Driver came about, how completely just sort of deranged Scorsese became during the making of it.

They tried to give it an X rating.
