Joel and Ethan Coen won 4 Oscars for their acclaimed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel of the same name starring Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, and Tommy Lee Jones. In episode 183, Luke & James discuss all the ways the material aligned with the Coen Brothers’ artistic vision, the indelible scenes filled with sights and sounds that haunt you well after the credits roll, and the bold choice to include powerful silences. They end by each casting their vote on which was the better version: the book or the movie!
