Missing Frames: Catching up with Cinema

As a massive Coen Brothers fan, Shea Weekley has always wanted to see their first feature Blood Simple, but hasn’t had the opportunity. Now he’s finally getting around to it and he and Shawn have many many thoughts on the Coens’ feature directorial debut and why it's an absolute banger.

Carley Cooper simply would not rest until she'd introduced Shawn to the astonishing, remarkable, time-bending effort that is LOVE ON A LEASH, a film belongs in the annals with the likes of Tommy Wiseau's The Room and Neil Breen's Fateful Findings. It's a film so strange, so overwhelming, so baffling, that it took Shawn and Carley a year to reunite after they recorded the first part of this episode to record part two, a historic first for Missing Frames. Will they survive the experience and live to record another podcast on another day? Only time will tell.
