In Episode 5, Alan and Nisha discuss No Country for Old Men, looking at both the 2005 novel by legendary author Cormac McCarthy, as well as the film directed by the Coen Brothers just 2 years later in 2007.
The film is not only widely considered a great adaptation, but one of the Coens' best films in their critically lauded career. Does the source material hold the same place in McCarthy's similarly celebrated bibliography? What were the changes made when put to film, and how did they impact the story?
Also, we apologize that this episode has some issues with audio quality and contains some mic echo. We tried our best to edit around it but some of it remained!
