Listen Later

Are you feeling that holiday hangover? Maybe heat up some roasted gopher leftovers, and then pop on this episode of Reel Poppycock covering the year 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

This is the first of a 3 film unit on the Coen Brothers, and we are bringing the heat right out of the gate with vocal harmonies, hilarity, heaps of insight, and enough Dapper Dan to keep all of our beautiful hair gelled up in the best smellum known to rural depression-era Mississippi.

So be a homie, or a Homer, and embark on this "Odyssey" with the Poppycock crew. Will the Cyclops and Sirens get in the way of Ulysses (aka Odysseus) and Penny's (aka Penelope) reconnection? You'll have to listen to find out, enjoy!
