Episode description
As our Series of Coen-cidences comes to a close, we, pardon the pun, bring the train into the station with Dustin's Host Pick: Throw Momma from the Train. This Billy Crystal-led ode to Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is an absurdist tale from co-star and director Danny DeVito. But, how does it hold up after all of these years? And how does it connect to the Coens? Tune in to find out!
