Silent Nod

The Soundtrack that Changed the World. Ryan and Nathan take a look at O Brother, Where Art Thou? as part of their look at the entire filmography of the Coen Bros. Apparently America was swallowed by a dust cloud in the 30s that turned everything brown for a period. Very strange moment in history.

The Big Lebowski

After slandering Martin Scorsese's good name, Nathan and Ryan take a look at one of the Coen Brothers' most heralded films, Fargo from 1996. Is it still a near-flawless masterpiece? Yes. But you should listen to us relitigate its case once again.

Ryan and Nathan were invited to Hudsucker Industries to examine the new Extruded Plastic Dingus. Could be a big hit. Unfortunately the movie it was in, The Hudsucker Proxy, was not, and we try to figure out why in this week's look at the films of the Coen Brothers. We also dive deep into the Ghostbusters franchise, so stay tuned for that discussion as well. Thanks for joining us.

Raising Arizona

The Assistant Editor on The Evil Dead can direct and write films of his own? Who knew? Ryan and Nathan kick off their first ever director spotlight with Blood Simple. The debut feature of the Coen Brothers, this film serves well as a showcase for a lot of the themes and general vibe the brothers explore in their four decade career. That's right, despite what we may say in the episode, we are going to look at every feature the Coen's have done thus far, so buckle up for our biggest batch ever. Thanks for joining us.
