SPLIT PICKS returns to examine two films that find the Coen Brothers at their cruelest and their most compassionate

When two writers selected two separate Coen Brothers films to write about within in a matter of days of each other, the coincidence made for the perfect reason to resurrect Split Picks, the first podcast series Split Tooth Media produced.

Looking at two wildly different Coen Brothers films, the dark romantic comedy Intolerable Cruelty (2003) and the fictional folk music biopic Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), host Craig Wright, film scholar Frankie Vanaria, and filmmaker Steve Collins discuss how the Coens work with genre, how they weave film and music together, and whether they are at their strongest in comedies or dramas — or if there's a distinction between the two at all.
