In our last lookback episode of 2020, we review the Coen Brothers' classic comedy-adventure O Brother, Where Art Thou. Loosely based on Homer's The Odyssey, 'O Brother' tells the story of three escaped convicts in depression-era Mississippi, who embark on a quest to find a hidden treasure. Along the way, they meet a host of interesting characters while evading the grasp of a sadistic sheriff, who is in relentless pursuit of the trio. Released in late 2000, the film would go on to earn Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay, as well as win George Clooney the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor that same year.

In this bonus lookback episode, we examine the merits and flaws of M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable. Released in 2000, Unbreakable sought to deconstruct the classic tropes of superhero lore while providing a more grounded origin for its protagonist, played by Bruce Willis.  Its plot centers on David Dunn, a depressed security worker who discovers he may possess invulnerability after learning he is the sole survivor of a horrific accident. With the aid of an eccentric comic book art dealer, played by Samuel L. Jackson, he begins to examine his past and, in doing so, unearths his true purpose.
