In a screenplay that feels built for the Coen Brothers, but somehow also the furthest from their usual style we get one of the best westerns of the decade! Comedy, interesting and likeable characters, and a beautiful look of the American West presented to us through the lens of Roger Deakins makes this an instant classic. And look, I didn’t mention the world building in the episode. But the world building in this is subtle but amazing! Talk to me about it on Twitter or something! But only if you think you have grit!
Up Next: Winter’s Bone (2010) directed by Debra Granik

Once Upon a Time at the Oscars is the weekly podcast where we take on the gauntlet of watching every single film that was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards! Starting with the films of 1927, Kyle and Marilee break down these movies every week. Each episode is part review, part trivia, and part critique. This podcast is intended for anybody that loves movies. We have zero background in the film industry, we’re just a film-loving couple that thought it’d be fun to go on this odyssey together, with all of you!
Let us know what you thought of the film! You can send your thoughts and we’ll read them on an upcoming ceremony episode: outaopodcast@gmail.com
Thanks for tuning in!
See you at the movies,
Kyle and Marilee
