Six segments. Four legendary movie podcasters. Three and a half hours of keeping David Sims away from his family. Welcome to our Ballad of Buster Scruggs episode! How Did This Get Made’s Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas join the Two Friends to talk about the Coens’ final film together (as of this recording), a grab bag of western vignettes that could have been titled “A Million Ways to Die in the West” if Seth MacFarlane hadn’t already claimed it. We’re picking our favorite segments, chatting about the “wild west” of Netflix projects back when Scruggs was greenlit, and ranking the Coens’ filmography before we cover their solo directorial efforts. Oh, and Jason has a few bones to pick with Griffin and David about a certain section of the True Grit episode.Listen to How Did This Get Made - Grizzly II: Revenge w/ Jake JohnsonListen to the Coens on Fresh AirCheck out the Parker NovelsCheck out the Darwyn Cook Parker novels graphic novel adaptationListen to Telly Savalas’ AlbumListen to Tim Blake Nelson on WTFRead Joshua Pease piece on Buster ScruggsSign up for Check Book, the Blank Check newsletter featuring even more “real nerdy shit” to feed your pop culture obsession.
