FS #185: No Country For Old Men / Josh Brolin Interview / Top 5 Coen Bros. Scenes

Nov 9: This week... Filmspotting abides. It's a special Coen Brothers Edition of the show as the boys review Joel and Ethan's new thriller "No Country For Old Men," based on the Cormac McCarthy novel and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and a terrifying Javier Bardem. Plus, Adam sits down with the former Goonie himself, Mr. Brolin, for a conversation covering his 'breakout' year, his doomed Tarantino-directed "No Country" audition tape and more.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT: Although technically no spoilers are revealed in this review, the boys do get somewhat specific in describing a few standout scenes. It might not be a terrible idea to wait until after you've seen "No Country," if you have plans to, before listening to the review. But again, there are no actual spoilers. Thanks.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre and our Top 5 Coen Brothers Scenes. "Ya sure, you betcha."

Music by Alejandro Escovedo courtesy of Bloodshot Records.

HAHA! Larry Sanders! I always go in for a traditional English handshake, only to find that I was supposed to be doing that 'street' brush the hand thing. Man, in the words of GOB, 'It ain't easy being white..."

Great review of 'No Country' guys. I almost never say this on a first viewing-but I'm prepared to call NCFOM a masterpiece. It's certainly the Coens finest film to date-and that's saying something.

Your review has me just DYING to see it again. Great show.
