Number 5 is alive!
In this episode, TheTimMan and I take the stage to discuss Inside Llewyn Davis. The 2013 Coen brothers’ film is superficially about the folk music scene in Greenwich Village in 1961, but really about the struggle between following our own desires or the paths laid before our feet. Critically acclaimed, with a wonderful performance by Oscar Isaac (pictured above). Lots of grist for the Catholic mill, too.
Could the Coen brothers have made a genuinely pro-life movie, or are we riffing too much? Is the cat Llewyn (it is)? Did my wife like it? We also touch on the Dante connection, the genius of Bob Dylan, and various other enlightening themes in the movie. TheTimMan even gave up his gallbladder to get this thing done, so enjoy!
