ACADEMY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST PICTURE!! No Country for Old Men Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Ethan Coen's "Honey Don't" out now & Josh Brolin garnering rave reviews in "Weapons," Andrew & Aaron are BACK to give their No Country for Old Men Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! The Coen Brothers' 2007 Academy Award-winning thriller No Country for Old Men comes to our channel as Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon dive into a first-hand Reaction & Review of one of the most iconic modern Western crime dramas. Based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy and directed by Joel & Ethan Coen (Fargo, The Big Lebowski), the film follows the deadly chain reaction set off when Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin – Sicario, Deadpool 2) stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong and takes off with a suitcase full of cash. His decision puts him on the radar of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem – Skyfall, Vicky Cristina Barcelona), the cold-blooded hitman whose coin toss scenes have become some of the most chilling and famous moments in film history. Also starring Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, Men in Black) as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, who struggles with the moral decay and unstoppable violence he sees in modern crime, and Woody Harrelson (True Detective, Natural Born Killers) as Carson Wells, a bounty hunter caught in the crossfire, the movie blends psychological tension with brutal realism. With unforgettable scenes such as Chigurh's silenced shotgun and the iconic “call it” gas station confrontation, No Country for Old Men remains a haunting meditation on fate, chance, and justice. Aaron & Andrew break down the performances, themes, shocking ending, and the Coens' masterful direction that cemented this film as a modern classic.

Ryan, Todd, and Maddy reconvene to discuss the second half of Deadpool 2 (2018), in which Deadpool and Cable do not kiss, to the chagrin of 2018-era Maddy. In 2025, though, we can all recognize what little gayness this movie could manage, which is Cable using his last bit of time travel juice to save Deadpool's life. Of course, after that, Cable would have to fight Colossus for Deadpool's affections, right? Except he's not going to have to, because there were no subsequent movies with Cable in them, even though the character says he's going to "stick around" after this. What happened? Disney bought Fox, that's what happened. We sure wouldn't be mad to see Josh Brolin and Zazie Beetz returning as Cable and Domino in the MCU, though...

We covered: (1) the Whalefall film adaptation, starring fellow actor (and writer), Josh Brolin; (2) His previous collabs with horror/fantasy legend Guillermo del Toro; and (3) why he never, ever, ever imitates himself, and how tackling new genres and styles is what gives spark to his work.

Horror auteur Zach Cregger wrote and directed Barbarian back in 2022, which delighted most of us. Now he returns with his follow-up film Weapons (2025).

The film features an ensemble cast including Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. The film received critical acclaim and was a minor hit, grossing $264 million. We'll let you know what all the buzz is about in this episode!

Emmy Winning writer (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) and very funny standup comedian (People Pleaser) Josh Gondelman returns to The Spiel to talk about a film that most people probably forgot was produced by Steven Spielberg: 2010's True Grit starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld in her first major role. Based on the Charles Portis novel, previously adapted as a starring vehicle for John Wayne, True Grit is about a young girl who hires a drunk and haggard Marshall to hunt down the man who killed her father. The Coen Bros wrote and directed this incredibly entertaining and highly quotable flick and Vespe and Gondelman delight in going back through the story, finding their favorite moments, and figuring out why the movie is so damn good, even if Spielberg had almost nothing to do with it.

A little something different this week: we're looking at two Soderbergh-scripted adaptations of international genre films! First, Soderbergh adapted Ole Bornedal's 1994 NATTEVAGTEN as 1997's NIGHTWATCH, also directed by Bornedal, starring post-TRAINSPOTTING, pre-PHANTOM MENACE Ewan McGregor as a night watchman at a spooky morgue. Next, Soderbergh turned Fabián Bielinsky's 2000 Argentine heist smash NUEVA REINAS (NINE QUEENS) into 2004's CRIMINAL, the directorial debut of Gregory Jacobs starring John C. Reilly and Diego Luna. Why did Sodey do this? Is there anything of the man in these adaptations? Do you need to watch four films before you listen to this episode? The answer to the last question is no! Fun ep, please enjoy. Further Reading: Steven Soderbergh: Interviews, ed.

I had my first chat with Jane Levy in March 2013. Twelve years and a slew of interviews later, she finally joins me in-studio for a Collider Ladies Night conversation in celebration of one of my favorite performances she's ever delivered, playing Tammy opposite David Strathairn in Angus MacLachlan's A Little Prayer.As many well know, I went quite hard covering 2013's Evil Dead and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I adore those projects and love a considerable amount of the work that Levy's delivered over the years. Tammy in A Little Prayer, however, is different. As Levy explained, “I found her to be extraordinarily brave, like heroically brave, but also so kind.” Levy also joked the character doesn't have the “acerbic scary side” many of her other characters do. But it's more than that. Tammy is impossibly thoughtful and loving. She's the type of big screen character who'll leave you thinking, “I wish I had more people like Tammy in my life,” or, “I wish I was more like her.” In fact, Levy herself even noted, “I thought, ‘I want to be more like Tammy.' And I actually still think that.”A Little Prayer puts the spotlight on the next-level special bond between a man and his daughter-in-law, Strathairn's Bill and Levy's Tammy. Bill is a pillar of his community, a quietly authoritative veteran who leads his family and his business with kindness and warmth. However, after bringing his son David (Will Pullen) into that business, Bill questions David's ability to keep himself afloat at the office, and also if he's remained faithful to Tammy.With A Little Prayer now playing in select theaters, Levy swung by the studio to discuss the film's journey from Sundance 2023 to its 2025 theatrical release. She also looked back on working on Suburgatory, discussed the Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist cancellation, and teased her upcoming film with Josh Brolin and Austin Abrams, Whalefall. Hosted on Acast.

'Weapons' is finally here, and Sean gets back in the void for a deep dive on one of his most anticipated films of the year. But before diving in, he and Amanda are joined by Brian Raftery to discuss his narrative series, Mission Accomplished, that will run on the feed throughout the rest of August (2:02). The limited series examines the making of 12 great 2000s movies and chronicles how Hollywood and America changed during the Bush years. Next, before covering ‘Weapons,' Sean uses another recent horror release—‘Together,' starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie—as a comparison point to explore the current state of horror (14:19). Then, Sean shares five things he loved about Zach Cregger's ‘Weapons,' starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin, and makes a syllabus for the movie, one of his favorites of the year (24:33). Finally, Sean is joined by Cregger to unpack his sophomore horror feature film and share how the significant increase in resources impacted his process, how his life and career changed following the success of ‘Barbarian,' and why he knew he was up to the task of directing this incredibly ambitious project (46:41).
