No Country 2

Joel and Ethan Coen’s Oscar-winning modern western chase picture is the subject of the 14th edition of the Next 100 Project. The brothers are known for wacky comedies, so this flick was a truly cynical departure. Excellent cast, story and production values. Curiosity? Our podcast manages to talk about Batman Forever more than anyone has in 20 years! Sink your teeth into one of our meatiest episodes in a while, but cleanse your palate first with some Sparkplug Coffee.

For The Record: A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Shop is a Chinese remake of the Coens’ Blood Simple.
