The blood-soaked Blood Simple represents the debuts of not only auteurs Joel & Ethan Coen, but also their star (and Joel's future wife) Frances McDormand. They don't seem to agree though with the widely-shared view that their first film was an expertly-plotted noir. It's one of their best movies, in fact. When the Coen Brothers go down to Texas to shoot a nihilistic movie about death and contract killings, classics like this and No Country For Old Men result. And considering it was an independent production without any stars, it was quite a hit. The brilliant highlight sequence is John Getz covering up what he thinks is the murder of Dan Hedaya, the man he's cuckolded. So enjoy episode #2 in Revenge Month and our 657th episode overall as we, yes ARE having a good time in our yellow suit and hat while we review Blood Simple. Well, Actually: the Sundance film festival (the "Utah/US Film Festival" as it was known at first) got its start in 1978, while the Toronto International Film Festival got its start in 1976. Also, Dessau is a neighbourhood in Austin, Texas, so the "Dessau" in the sign outside the club must refer to that. Also also, the reason Ray stops the car and runs away in shock is because he hears noise coming from the "dead" body in the back seat. Acquire outstanding beans from Sparkplug Coffee.

The 637th edition of Have You Ever Seen kicks off the 10th Annual Month O' Bev. Joel & Ethan Coen's True Grit was unusual for them, in that it was a blockbuster. It was also nominated for all kinds of awards, including 10 Oscars...something the brothers WERE used to. The cinematography, the production design and the florid language are standouts in this remake of the 1969 western. Jeff Bridges plays it very broad, but he's still pretty good in the role that won John Wayne an Oscar, while Matt Damon...well, we were split on his work. But their teenaged costar, Hailee Steinfeld, made a huge splash in a remarkable debut. This movie belongs to "Sis", who's more than a little determined to get retribution for her pa's death. So mount up as you ride horsies with contemptible allies and we piece our way through the Coen Brothers' True Grit. Invest some of your Christmas money in Sparkplug Coffee.

Joel & Ethan Coen's ultra-Jewish film was a project that was very personal to them. Their '60s-set A Serious Man takes a humorous look at the trials of Job in the form of Michael Stuhlbarg, an actor who's done many great things in the past 15 years, but this was his breakout. Stuhlbarg looks for meaning in this often-funny, but often-impenetrable and even stressful movie. While this isn't a classic the way many other Coen Brothers films are, it's as well-made and fascinating as just about anything else they've ever made. We just...might not get it? So let our 601st dose of Have You Ever Seen settle into your ears as we try to figure out what the boys are doing in A Serious Man.

O' Coen Brothers, Where Art Thou? On this special episode, host Matt Bledsoe is joined by returning guests Mark Wanner & Hayden Gilbert, to discuss the career of Joel & Ethan Coen and to talk about all 18 of their feature films! They use a March Madness style bracket to work their way through the Coen's filmography and try and determine what movie is the "most" Coen Brothers movie in their career! There are upsets, and twists and turns, so get ready to embrace the madness!
Light up a cigarette (or many cigarettes) and kickstart your existential crisis as you gulp down the 418th Ellises' Analysis. Joel & Ethan Coen followed up their run of hysterical '90s comedies with this black & white sorta-comedy. This might seem like an odd film, but it's actually got more depth and enjoyably offbeat ideas than most of their previous work. Oh and fear not. The Man Who Wasn't There is quite certainly funny. You also can't argue with the casting of Billy Bob Thornton (who's perfecto in the lead role), although Bev was just as enamoured with the work of Frances McDormand. So don't look at the facts. Instead, look at the meaning of the facts (which have no meaning) as they cut the hair and we chat about The Man Who Wasn't There. Well, Actually: Frances McDormand has 4 Oscars (3 for acting, 1 for producing). Also, Surviving Christmas came out even before Halloween (not in mid-November), which is in fact awfully early for a movie about the holly jolly season. Know what goes great with cigarettes? Well, coffee, of course. Get some of that from our excellent sponsor known as Sparkplug Coffee.

Deep Cut concludes its four-episode series on the Coen brothers with Ben's old favorite, Raising Arizona (1987). Ben considers the power of the movie's marriage of humor and sentiment, Wilson praises the once-in-a-lifetime couple casting of Nic Cage & Holly Hunter, and Eli presents his final Skip Lievsay Corner... for now. To finish, the trio discusses the virtues of the Coens, compares their cinematographers, and looks ahead to Joel Coen's upcoming solo outing. We got us a family here on our Discord server!
We're better; we're back... Deep Cut's investigation into the Coen brothers continues with Eli's favorite comedy, 2008's Burn After Reading. As Eli makes the case for the movie's inane combination of national security and physical fitness, Wilson extols John Malkovich's shout-acting and Ben contemplates how dumb a character can be written before it's just plain mean. Appearances can be deceptive... be a Good Samaritan and join our Discord server.
Deep Cut's first ever musical episode (featuring two songs performed on-air!) takes your co-hosts deeper into the world of the Coens. Their discussion on 2013's Inside Llewyn Davis sees Wilson gush about his love for musicals, Eli drop some knowledge on folk music history, and Ben ruminate on the cyclical plot structure's reflection of Llewyn's personality. Come for our cover of Please Mr Kennedy, stay for our coverage on Llewyn Davis' Insides! Strum the guitar with us on our Discord server.
The Deep Cut trio returns for season 2 with the first of four whole episodes on the renowned American writer/director/editor brothers, Joel & Ethan Coen. First up is the popular pick, No Country for Old Men (2007). Ben, Wilson, and Eli track down knowledge on sound designer Skip Lievsay's focused audio, appreciate the menace of Javier Bardem (and his wig), and begin to piece together the Coens' themes on the consequences of American greed and violence. Flip a coin and join our Discord server to talk about the Coens directly with Wilson, Ben, and Eli.

What’s funnier than chain gangs and the KKK in the Deep South during the Depression? Perhaps nothing could be. Okay, it sounds like an unfunny subject, but the remarkable Joel & Ethan Coen defy the odds by casting great actors, featuring a lot of dynamite songs and unleashing plenty of goofiness. O Brother helped make George Clooney a movie star, even though he, John Turturro and the hilarious Tim Blake Nelson are pretty much playing the Three Stooges. If only the Stooges were this likable or blessed with such a gift of gab! We talked a lot about the Coens’ entire career (the comedies, the dramas, the hits, the misses) and we certainly dug into the inspiration for this zany flick (The Odyssey). It's time for some fun, so we suggest you DO seek the tray-sure of the 369th Ellises’ Analysis. Well, Actually: The first film in which both Coens were credited as a director was The Ladykillers. Also, Tim Blake Nelson’s character in The Incredible Hulk was Samuel Sterns aka The Leader. Coffee, eh? Yes! Sparkplug Coffee has been our sponsor for more years than we can count and we highly recommend the deliciousness.

Connor & Jon are joined by the first critic of the show, Caleb Maine, to discuss the Coen's depressing masterpiece: A Serious Man. Jon gets distracted by the fact that there were earbuds in the '60's. Caleb hates Sy more than any other film character.

What gives your sequences their intensity? Chas and Stu are joined for the fourth time by the inestimable Stephen Cleary - this time to take a deep dive into sequences. A real deep dive. A 3+ hour deep dive. Stephen postulates that sequences can compel the audience in different ways via the type of dramatic questions being posed. Are they plot questions ("Will she defuse the bomb?") or character questions ("Will she understand what compels her to defuse bombs?") or a combination of both? What is the impact on the pacing, structure of your story or audience experience of your characters by changing the type of question being asked? What happens to your story when your protagonist decides to literally abandon the plot? Our deep dive roams through THE BOURNE IDENTITY, NAKED, THE DIVING BELL & THE BUTTERFLY, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, FARGO (the movie) and CHILDREN OF MEN... with many-a-tangent referencing HEAT, FRENZY, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, AMOUR, CHEF, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, THE KINGSMAN, FURY ROAD, THE COLOUR OF POMEGRANATES, LIVING IS EASY WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, MOONLIGHT, and probably some more that we've forgotten.
