Episode description
Editor's Note: Apologies for the audio flaws throughout this episode, if you don't listen, we understand. I know it sounds like Max Headroom guest hosted, but unfortunately it is just us.
Well, we wrap up our 2023 AntiTrash Crime Wave with an indie darling—the Coens' Blood Simple. The movie that brought the brothers to the dance and made them famous takes the final slot this month. We talk Coens, crime, hitmen, and much, much more as we dive into this American classic. Again, sorry for the glitchy sound, but we've got it on the mend for next week.
