Ken would recommend you watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and love it. Kendra would recommend you not bother and just listen to this podcast instead. We tell the general plot of the short stories and Kendra really gives away a major spoiler at minute 16:20. We also discuss the gender dynamics regarding critiques of the Coen brothers and ask why they aren’t called the Coen siblings. Unrelated to the Coen brothers we talk about Chris Pine’s visible pine in the Outlaw King. . And our connection to Peri Gilpin... Tom Waits was in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs which we really took our time talking about. He was also in Candy Mountain (1987) [which Kendra incorrectly said was related to the song Big Rock Candy Mountain] with Laurie Metcalf. Laurie Metcalf was in a Frasier episode in 2004 with Peri Gilpin called Caught in the Act. A couple of fun facts about the show.
