#187 Barton Fink (1991)

from Broken VCR · host Broken VCR

The Coen Brothers' 1991 bizarre dark comedy, BARTON FINK, is our feature presentation this week. Special Guest and owner of Vulture Video, Dave Walter, joins us to discuss the film. We talk about how a bout with writer's block during the scripting of Miller's Crossing spurned the film and the creeping dread lurking beneath the film's surface. We also ask the question if The Hotel Earle is Hell itself, and much more! We also pick our TOP 7 JOHN GOODMAN MOVIES in this week's SILVER SCREEN 7!
