Summary

This week we found some super secret government documents, and we’re in way over our heads, so join us as we discuss the Coen Brothers forgotten gem ‘Burn After Reading’ at the demand of a patron! Burn After Reading is a 2008 dark comedy crime film written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It follows a recently jobless CIA analyst (John Malkovich) whose misplaced memoirs are found by a pair of dimwitted gym employees (Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt). When they mistake the memoirs for classified government documents, they cross paths with a womanizing U.S. Marshal (George Clooney). The film also stars Tilda Swinton, Richard Jenkins and J.K. Simmons. We Watched A Thing is supported by Dendy Cinemas Canberra. The best Australian cinema chain showing everything from blockbusters to arthouse and indie films.
