In this episode of The Strategic Experiment, Jen and Sarah delve into A Serious Man. They dissect the protagonist, Larry Gopnik, and comment on how he is a bold choice for a leading man in film. In typical Coen brothers fashion, this is a film that takes a hard look at the fragility of life and, in this case, is just a little too real. Jen and Sarah wonder how this film might be received by audiences if it was released today.

What did you think of A Serious Man? Was this film a little too real for you to enjoy or did you embrace the morbidity of humanity?
