We couldn’t have chosen a more masterful movie to wrap up our crime miniseries: 2007’s No Country for Old Men has somehow gotten better with age. It’s rare for the Coen brothers to adapt someone else’s work, but this is clearly a special exception: Cormac McCarthy’s book is a gem, and so is this remarkable film.

Join us as we discuss the meaning of the opaque ending, how Joel and Ethan Coen subvert storytelling tropes throughout, and if Javier Bardem’s work as Anton Chigurh is the best supporting performance of all time.
