Show Notes
True Grit (the Coen Brother's 2010 version) is not only superior to the 1969 adaptation featuring John Wayne, it is a masterpiece of filmmaking and one of the best westerns ever. Not only that, it is one of the best flyover country movies, set in Arkansas and filmed in Texas. Eric and Olivia's hometown of Fort Smith is a primary location in the movie, and Little Rock is mentioned as well. In this episode, the team discusses the hysteria of Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld's uncanny performance as a young actress, and of course, Roger Deakin's amazing cinematography.
