27: Barton Fink, You Ladykiller - A Coen Brothers Film

Need a Coen fix? We got you, Brothers. In honor of  The Ballad of Buster Scruggs coming to Netflix soon, Double Edged Double Bill is doing an episode about the Coen Brothers. Our good feature is 1991's Barton Fink, in which every genre blends together as a writer gets writer's block. Our bad feature is their 2004 remake of The Ladykillers, which may not be as bad as some say, though it leaves a lot to be desired. Adam Thomas and Thomas Mariani appreciate all of the Coen Brothers nuances displayed in both films, but also examine how Joel and Ethan have evolved and even stayed stagnant in their careers. Listen here for all a cacophony of Coens discussions, guys!

Special thanks to our guest Shakyl Lambert for the intro assist. Also listen to Adam and Thomas on the latest episode of The Horror Returns talking Suspiria, both the original and the remake here. To stay up to date about the podcast, follow us on Twitter @DEDBpod, our Facebook page and send us feedback at doubleedgeddoublebill@gmail.com!
