Nick, aka @stellarboor and I reviewed a less talked about film from the Coen Brothers titled The Man Who Wasn't There. A film that I argue is an absolutely perfectly executed film. It playfully dips it's toes in black comedy, sci-fi, and neo noir. I just guested on Proletarian Contrarian last week to discuss David Lynch's Dune and you can listed below: https://soundcloud.com/prolecon/episode-35-choam-nomsky-dune-1984 Nick's Links https://soundcloud.com/prolecon https://www.patreon.com/pro_con https://twitter.com/stellarboor?lang=en Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastcocoopercherry Twitter: @Podcastcocooper Instagram: @podcast_co_cooper_cherry
