Film Du Jour

Episode 2: Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)


Listen Later

In our second episode, we chat about the feature-length

anthology film, Coffee and Cigarettes, directed by independent film director Jim Jarmusch. The movie consists of eleven short, unrelated vignettes with various celebrities enjoying coffee, cigarettes, and conversation.

We bring in our good friend and actor, Daniel Lujan, to join

us to talk about the world of coffee and film.

First, we have a long chat about coffee beans, the intricacies of grinding and roasting, and even the “seasonal variety of monkey poop coffee.” (4:42). Then, we dissect the eleven short stories that make up the film itself (33:46). Finally, we take a slight detour and reminisce about the experience of discovering and renting videos in the early 2000s (1:14:39).
