  • Love this show

    Great work, team. I’m part way through these podcasts and, as a guy who majored in philosophy, love this. Smart and accessible mix of philosophy and general, thoughtful discussion of smart fellas who love the Coens. Do y’all hit on the doctrine of eternal return at some point? Great listen.

  • High quality podcastery

    I had heard about this podcast for awhile now but never got around to listening. I am a late-in-life appreciator of the Coen Brothers. These three fellows are smart, insightful, and funny. I'm loving seeing these films through their eyes. Philosophers expounding on film - what will they think of next?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Man Who Wasn't There
Q: What are the political, social, and cultural themes of the movie?
It's about capitalism always giving you the desire to move up, we can't just be workers, we have to be owners, blah, blah, blah.
The Man Who Wasn't There
Q: What do you think in a nutshell?
The Man Who Wasn't There is a noir film set not in the grimy underworlds of LA, New York, or New Orleans, but rather in the meretricious suburban wasteland that the conquered wild west had by 1949 become.
Fargo, Part 1
Q: Troy, can you give us the summary of Fargo?
Fargo is the allegedly true story of Jerry Lundegard, a car salesman who concocts a kidnapping scheme to solve his financial problems, which leads to chaos and violence.
Fargo, Part 1
Q: What do you think the film Fargo, what do you think it's about?
It's about the failure of family in a society ostensibly valuing family and the evil underbelly of the Midwest.
