"How does one deconstruct a masterpiece? In this episode, we try our best. Mark Botts, Isaiah Mouw, and Ben Bronsink discuss the incomparable No Country for Old Men. Topics of fate, aging, and maybe mob mentality are all brought up and thrown out on the discussion table. We love this movie, and think you will too."

Do it, friendo.
