The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" beat out Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" for the Best Picture Oscar of 2007. How do the two movies compare and differ? And what does a shift in how you remember a movie compared to how you experience it on rewatch say about the film itself?

In this episode, Mike and Brian dig into all those questions, exploring the art behind creating an iconic villain and the power of film scoring (and the lack thereof). They argue over the movie's philosophical leanings and challenge how the Coens use genre to lend a light touch to heavy material. Then, keep it or kick it (AKA: "Is this a contender for your film of the year?").
