What's the rumpus? 

Join us for a nice stroll in the woods with our episode covering 1990's "Miller's Crossing," the Coen Brothers' first period piece. During a period when gangster pictures were experiencing a resurgence, the Coens deliver a darkly funny and understated take on the genre, inspired by the works of Dashiell Hammett. Jen Johans from the podcast Watch With Jen and FilmIntuition.com is our guest for this episode.
