There Will Be Blood Meridian
from The Brothers Raskin Hosted by Ben Raskin
The boys are back, and this week's episode is pure Raskin gold. Brother Ben steps into civic duty as the newest Salt Lake City Planning Commission Board Member, proving that even podcasters can shape skylines. Meanwhile, Brother Patrick trades his mic for a whistle, coaching his soccer squad to their first tournament win of the season—a victory sweeter than halftime orange slices. From there, the brothers dive deep into the gravel‑voiced mystique of Nick Nolte and the brutal beauty of Blood Meridian—debating who could possibly adapt Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece for the big screen without losing its soul. (Spoiler: it's not an easy job.) They wrap things up with a love letter to their all‑time favorite film, Aliens—celebrating its diverse cast, perfect pacing, and the eternal truth that "game over, man" never gets old. Be a mensch and tell a friend. Your ears will thank you.
