0:00.0	Howdy partners. Welcome. Take that again. Take that again. I spoke right on top of you. I was about to do like the same thing. I ain't taking again. I'm God damn old man.
0:22.6	I got no time for second taste. Oh, is that where you leaving this in? Is that I live behind a Chinese grocery? I have nothing.
0:32.8	See what I'm dealing with people. What are we dealing with? What is this? Who am I?
0:39.3	This is 2010. This is also... well, this isn't 2010.
0:44.6	Man, this whole thing is fucked. This is the Coen Brothers Brothers, a show where we do a deep dive into the entire filmography of the Coen Brothers.
0:55.1	I'm Coen Brothers Brother No. 1, Abe Epperson, and with me is...
1:00.6	His brother in all things, Coen, Mr. Michael Slam.
1:05.6	And today, as we go through chronologically, we are discussing 2010's true grit.

1:47.6	So I'm coming in harsh on this, but I got to be honest, overall, it's a nice change of taste.
1:55.6	There's no real way to compare it to serious man, because I think they very wisely were like, let's do something totally different now.
2:02.6	And yet, as we'll talk about more in pedagogy, there are some underlying themes that are similar,
2:10.6	and that sometimes as a young man made me worry for the emotional health of the Coen brothers.
2:17.6	They got a little nihilistic towards the middle.
2:21.6	A statement kind of about how this film stacks in terms of what its differences and similarities are in terms of the filmography of the Coen's,
2:31.6	is that Roger Ebert gave the three and a half stars, or three and a half out of four stars, I believe,
2:36.6	or maybe this was four and a half out of five, I forget if they had already.
