Listen "True Grit"
Episode Synopsis
It’s time to go back to the Wild West and discuss the western masterpiece True Grit. The Coen brothers’ second film based on a novel is another grounded no-nonsense work of adaptation, but they still find plenty of avenues to insert their own unique voice. In between comparing this to the (great) Charles Portis novel, we also discuss Hailee Steinfeld’s wonderful performance, Carter Burwell’s effective score, leaf blowers, the unconditional affection of snakes, and how much you have to drink before you can call yourself an alcoholic.
