You can't stop what's coming - and that's a 4 plus hour runtime. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia (Megs is in the ICU) as we head to West Texas in 1980 in search of fate or nihilism or God or meaning in The Coen Brothers' seminal work "No Country For Old Men." We're also celebrating our 200th episode with some Friends of the Podcast and with a runtime this high, you know there's probably a special someone coming on. We're telling you to 'call it' in our 200th episode as we discuss:
