Hello everybody. Welcome back to Baldwin's Prestige.

We're the officially unofficial podcast for everything

is prestigious, including the film we're talking about today, the 2000 satirical, historical

comedy film by the Cohen brothers, Joel and Ethan. Oh, brother, where art thou? This is a movie that's loosely based on the Cohen brothers' fragmentary memories of exposure and cultural osmosis to the Odyssey, written by Homer, a 3,000-year-old Greek blind bard.

Blindness is going to be

a recurring theme throughout this film.

It stars

George Clooney, John Tuturo,

Tim Blake Nelson, among others.

Jim, I've seen his movie many times

and it's always had a place of affection of my heart.

If nothing else for the soundtrack.

The soundtrack, I mean, my God, we could talk forever about the soundtrack and the effects it's had on the music industry.

But this is the first time I've watched it.

You know, and I've been aware just because I'm interested in the Eid the coens about the

Odyssey stuff and some of the other illusions, but this is the first time I studied a film.

And I'm like flabbergasted.

This movie has got so many layers and can be analyzed from so many different lenses.

But yet none of them are a complete like it, like the, the end of the day, this film is like an amalgam of things that came together and made something fantastic in my opinion.

We're going to talk about a lot of it, but I want to know what you think about, oh, brother, and your experience with it.

Well, this is the very first time I've seen this movie.
