How to Survive: True Grit (2010)

It's episode 121...and they tell me you're a man with true grit. True Grit (2010) tells the story of Mattie Ross, a precocious 14-year old farm girl who sets out to avenge her father's death with the help of cantankerous drunkard Rooster Cogburn and cantankerous teetotaler LaBoeuf. Together the trio trek across the Old West in search of justice, cornbread and - above all else - a coward by the name of Tom Chaney. We consider the Coens, debate the Deakins, field the question of field amputations and ask ourselves if it's better to be a coward than a cowboy, all while discussing Joe's favourite film of all time. All of which leads to one question...how would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: You must pay for everything in this world, one way or another. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world. Get in touch! [email protected] Follow us on Twitter! @HowtoSurvivePod
