Schrader Ep. 6: Blue Collar (1978)
Manage episode 412152515 series 3520445
Get your disguise on, listener! We got a big boy this week: Paul Schrader's directorial debut, the 1978 auto workers union heist film BLUE COLLAR! The fellas are going long on this one, talking UAW history, race and organized labor, Richard Pryor's performance, Harvey Keitel trying very hard to quit the movie, Yaphet Kotto's lifetime of UFO encounters (really), and whether Schrader could really have made such a leftist film without meaning to, as he claims. This episode is nearly three hours of gleaming chrome fresh off the line or whatever. Check it out!
Further Reading:
"Ex‐Operative Says He Worked for F.B.I. to Disrupt Political Activities Up to '74"
"Southern California Hotel Workers Are on Strike Against Automated Management" by Alex N. Press
A History of America in Ten Strikes by Erik Loomis

Organized Labor and the Black Worker and The Black Worker by Philip S. Foner
