That was one of my favourite cinema experiences ever. Just constantly 'wow' in every scene

Last Samurai always makes me lament that Shogun isn't on any streaming services. A very faithful adaptation and pretty high production values and has aged fairly well for a network TV miniseries done in 1980

OMG I just re-watched that movie like 2 days ago, isn't it great?! the music score is so iconic!!!!

And another of their comedies that hasn’t gotten enough attention is ‘The Hudsucker Proxy’. The cast is perfect.

3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri stars Frances McDormand (she won another Oscar for her role), and it seems very much like a Coen Brothers movie (I actually thought it was one). Can't wait to see that one.

Easily their most underrated movie. Sometimes I wish the Coen’s would o a TV series because their characters are so rich you hate not seeing them again after a single movie. I’d love to see what Marge Gunderson is up to. Granted most of their characters don’t make it out of the movie alive but still. I’d love to see them take on a longer form series.

If they're going in order, accounting for ones they've already reacted to, it would be next.

would love to see Miller's Crossing (1990) as the next Coens movie.

Not that it comes highly recommended, but there's always The Many Saints of Newark for completeness sake. Maybe it'll surprise you :/

COMPLETELY unrelated to the films you're doing this week, but I'm currently listening to Ken Marino on a podcast and I was curious if you two had ever seen Wet Hot American Summer.
If not, it for sure needs to be an option on the next Comedy poll.

2023-07-17 17:11:55 +0000 UTC
?? thats why i said "i hope"
JetK
2023-07-17 15:51:01 +0000 UTC
Yup. Some channels have done it. I'm holding out hope for Blood In, Blood Out. And for Casualties of War. Rudy, Jerry Maguire. Lol
Jonathan Patrick
2023-07-17 15:11:19 +0000 UTC
YES!!
David Wilkins
2023-07-17 15:05:56 +0000 UTC
are we still holding on to hope for blood in blood out? lol

2023-07-17 15:02:32 +0000 UTC
There isn't one of those; Last Samurai is not currently available in 4K.
Tyler Foster
2023-07-17 13:51:20 +0000 UTC
If they go in chronological order after this like they did with Tarantino, Miller's Crossing is next, because they've already done Raising Arizona. (Actually, it'll be the order that Smooticus used.)
Tyler Foster

Thanks for making my week with your reaction to Blood Simple

Never heard of blood simple but the last samurai is fantastic and you're both going to love it

Yep "The Godfather" is a classic....But i was surprised when I found out how much trouble they had hiring the cast and stuff lol
Edgar Gonzalez
2023-07-17 02:08:25 +0000 UTC
10 episodes, huh?...🤔 I really hope it's The Offer! (fingers crossed).
Outstanding mini-series that doesn't get enough praise imo.

Blood Simple! The one that put the Coen Brothers "on the map". Looking forward to it!

Well i don't think that a 8 month show would be a problem if you enjoy what your watchin, but you are correct. TBR and Samantha don't have the luxury to dedicate all of their time to react to tv shows, and movies, it was hard enough as it was, and now it's going to be even harder now that they have a baby on the way.... How would you suggest that they pick the next show?
Edgar Gonzalez
2023-07-17 01:22:40 +0000 UTC
Sweet! So glad you're watching The Last Samurai!. The setting, the atmosphere, music, and acting are all wonderful. I still listen to the soundtrack all the time, one of Hans Zimmer's best.
Nismo
2023-07-17 01:09:14 +0000 UTC
I vouch for these, especially "Interview with the Vampire"!

My favorite gangster movie. The dialog is fantastic. Also has the best sceset to Danny Boy ever
Smooticus
2023-07-17 00:47:07 +0000 UTC
I think a poll is a bad idea for the next TV show. Some of the shows will take more than 6 months to watch. That's a hell of a commitment for something that's out of your hands. I think you should have a thread closer to the time where people can make the case for the show you watch next, and then the 2 of you go with whatever excites you the most.

I would love to see someone do Miller's Crossing. Definitely deserves to be better remembered.

Wow. I love LAST SAMURAI. Chokes me up every time.

Tom Cruise best film. But I also recommend "Interview with a Vampire", "Jerry Maguire" and "Vanilla Sky".
Jonathan Patrick

Hope you guys love these! Great picks, always wanted to see Blood Simple!!
Jonathon Jankoski
2023-07-16 23:50:07 +0000 UTC
The Last Samurai had a couple factors going against it before I decided to watch it: 1) Hollywood's propensity to play into the "white savior" trope and 2) Tom Cruise not exactly being the most nuanced actor of his generation (he goes BIG), but I was happy to learn I was wrong in both assumptions. It's really such a beautifully written, filmed and acted movie from every person involved along the way. It's Cruise's most rewatchable film in my personal canon, and I hope you both LOVE it.
Paul Cox
2023-07-16 23:12:36 +0000 UTC
Samurai movies are one of my favorite genres. The Last Samurai is the perfect introduction for people who have never watched the genre. Seven Samurai is my favorite all time movie. I was so happy when you both reacted to it.😊

Ohh another Frances Mcdormand one! Does that mean Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is coming?

The Last Samurai is one of the movies that got me subbed to your channel in hopes you'll watch it soon. THANK YOU, AND I CAN'T WAIT.

Ah yes, forgot all about that poll!
Maybe I don't pay enough attention to what people recommend. Prisoners also caught me off guard. Would be interesting to see a list of the most recommended films!

Can we just restart The Sopranos? 😢 Sucks it’s over lol. Come on Fargo!! One day we shall watch it.

Fine, I’ll restart the Sopranos. 😢

So weird not seeing sopranos on there 😭😂 I hope you had a chance to see some or at least one of the "Sopranos Explained" videos on YT in your own time gives a bit more closure to the show 😁 and I'm curious as to what 10 episode series you'll react too 🤔 lol
The Last Samurai has been recommended a ton, especially when we did Gladiator and Troy and Blood Simple is actually a poll winner! That was from the Director's poll we did, which the Coen Brother's won :)

We're going to do a quick 10 episode show to get us through baby's due date and then we'll do a poll for our next show after that!

I think starting at the top of the Coens filmography as the winner of a director poll is probably the best practice, rather than jumping around the timeline or flipping a coin. And Blood Simple is a fantastic start (kind of a dry run for No Country, tonally).
Paul Cox
2023-07-16 21:14:08 +0000 UTC
Aw, it's kinda sad not seeing the Sopranos on the Upcoming list. Can't wait for TLS. One of my fave Cruise movies.

hi this is dean lamont I like your reactions if you like westerns then you should check out flaming star and charro starring elvis presley there not musicals just straight dramatic western you'll enjoy them hope yous are doing well and be safe
Dean Lamont
2023-07-16 21:12:01 +0000 UTC
I pretty much always get caught out by the films that didn't win a poll. Have The Last Samurai and Blood Simple really been recommended that often? Or are they just something that you've been wanting to watch for a while yourselves? This isn't a complaint btw although it may sound like it. I'm just often surprised lol.

HOLY F*** WHAT A WEEK
Paul Cox
2023-07-16 21:10:44 +0000 UTC
You'll love both of these movies. Blood Simple is the Coen Brothers first feature. You really need to see Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Hudsucker Proxy, OH Brother Where Art Thou, and The Man Who Wasn't There
