Mike White, he of The Projection Booth and a bunch of other cool podcasts, joins John for a somewhat giddy chat about Blood Simple, the Coen Brothers’s first movie, and Crimewave, the film the Coens co-wrote with Sam Raimi, for Raimi to direct. As they dig into the technical concerns, character details, and snappy dialogue that make even the most embryonic Coens efforts feel so darn Coens-y, Mike and John find time to sing the praises of M. Emmet Walsh’s sleazebag appeal, Barry Sonnenfeld’s roving and precise camerawork, and Bruce Campbell’s manly but versatile hands.
