The Coen Brothers Episode 17: 'Hail Caesar'
The penultimate episode of our Coen Brothers series is here! 'Hail Caesar' is an underrated and hilarious Coen film, and we recommend you watch it before you listen (it's the perfect airplane movie). Visit our Website Strangeloveofmovies.com and follow us on Instagram @Strangeloveofmedia
The Coen Brothers Episode 16: 'Inside Llewyn Davis' (Rewatch With Us)
'Inside Llewyn Davis' has become a staple in the Coen-verse, but Strangelove is not sure how to feel about the film. Though, Oscar Isaac, the music, and the orange cat sure do make for the perfect combination in the film. Visit our Website Strangeloveofmovies.com and follow us on Instagram @Strangeloveofmedia
The Coen Brothers Episode 15: 'True Grit'
Fun fact: 'True Grit' was Livia's first Coen Brothers film in theaters! 'True Grit' is the Coen's highest-grossing film, and it's obvious why once you see the film! Visit our Website Strangeloveofmovies.com and follow us on Instagram @Strangeloveofmedia
The Coen Brothers Episode 14: 'A Serious Man'
'A Serious Man' is the Coen's most personal film, and possibly their least appreciated. It is a true triumph and we cannot believe we did not see it sooner! A super bleak watch, but in typical Coen fashion, some insanely funny moments, too! Visit our Website Strangeloveofmovies.com and follow us on Instagram @Strangeloveofmedia
The Coen Brothers Episode 13: 'Burn After Reading' (Rewatch With Us)
'Burn After Reading' is one of the Coen's silliest films. It takes a bit of a turn stylistically and tonally from their previous Oscar-winning triumph, 'No Country for Old Men,' but it still manages to have everything we love in a Coen Brothers film!

The Coen Brothers Episode 9: 'The Man Who Wasn't There'
'The Man Who Wasn't There' is the Coen's take on Film Noir, and they do a pretty fantastic job. This is one of the Coen's darkest films, but we highly recommend it. Visit our Website Strangeloveofmovies.com and follow us on Instagram @Strangeloveofmedia
The Coen Brothers Episode 8: 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' (Rewatch With Us)
