Ep 15 - No Country for Old Men

Call it, friendo! This week, we’re unpacking the pure insanity that is Anton Chigurh. Javier Bardem won a well-deserved Oscar for sporting a page boy haircut and portraying a pure psychopath that haunts every frame of this incredible cinematic masterpiece from the Coen Brothers. We chart the similarities and differences between Cormac McCarthy’s book and the film, and try to understand the particular brand of crazy that Chigurh represents. He’s the most frightening villain to stalk the silver screen this century. A wraith. A serial killer who sees himself as an arm of fate, metering out justice at the flip of a coin and the hiss of a captive bolt gun. And as if that isn’t enough, he thinks that page boy haircut was a good idea!
