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

TBR Schmitt

I haven't! I'll have to ask Daniel! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Same LOL -Sam

Smooticus

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

Chris Bruneau

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

David Wilkins

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

Ken Veader

I love Flaming Star

David Martin

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.

Stan the Man

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.

Paul Cox

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

Michael Buhl

Yes!

YoureMrLebowski

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

Sol95

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

Robert Boyd

💙 Blood Simple. Right up there with Fargo.

Kathy Carter

Last Samurai, such an underrated film ♥️

Paul Cox

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.

JetK

?? thats why i said "i hope"

Jonathan Patrick

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

David Wilkins

YES!!

dieselbeast

are we still holding on to hope for blood in blood out? lol

Tyler Foster

There isn't one of those; Last Samurai is not currently available in 4K.

Tyler Foster

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.)

mikethemotormouth

Thanks for making my week with your reaction to Blood Simple

Ellie Miller

Blood Simple! Some early Frances McDormand for Sam!

Tyler Foster

YES BLOOD SIMPLE

Ian

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

Edgar Gonzalez

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

JG

10 episodes, huh?...🤔 I really hope it's The Offer! (fingers crossed). Outstanding mini-series that doesn't get enough praise imo.

David Martin

I didn't think anyone knew Blood Simple. Hurrah!

David Martin

Please, Please, Please!

ron clint

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

Edgar Gonzalez

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?

Nismo

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.

EdmanXERO

I vouch for these, especially "Interview with the Vampire"!

Smooticus

My favorite gangster movie. The dialog is fantastic. Also has the best sceset to Danny Boy ever

Future Boy

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.

Marcus Cato

"Flipping a coin." 😂 I would love to see someone do Miller's Crossing. Definitely deserves to be better remembered.

Philip Davetas

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

Jonathan Patrick

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

Jonathon Jankoski

Hope you guys love these! Great picks, always wanted to see Blood Simple!!

Paul Cox

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.

Mark Ultimatemusings

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.😊

David Ross

No Sopranos! 😭 Blood Simple is amazing though.

Duncan

💯 a bit of a masterpiece beloved by many,super excited for it

Duncan

The latest poll winners and upcoming reactions are Coen Brother's/Blood Simple (1984) Dead Poets Society (1989) Dial M for Murder (1954)

wapaking

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

EdmanXERO

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.

f hf

Severance has 9 so we can rule that one out haha

Korny

I already have. 😉

Shehab Dawoud

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!

Jonny Kerr (JK)

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

jf_lametta

Fine, I’ll restart the Sopranos. 😢

dieselbeast

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

Steve Mercier

Blood simple....fuck yes! Fantastic movie! Coens! Frances McDormand! Noir! Good shit! Exclamation points!!!

TBR Schmitt

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 :) -Sam

JetK

I hope the Last Samurai will be resmaster in 4K UHD..

Edgar Gonzalez

Ok Cool. Stay Awesome Guys!

TBR Schmitt

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! -Sam

Paul Cox

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).

Carlos Hurtado

Aw, it's kinda sad not seeing the Sopranos on the Upcoming list. Can't wait for TLS. One of my fave Cruise movies.

TBR Schmitt

Yes, so much more Coen Brothers to explore! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Should be starting next week! -Sam

Dean Lamont

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

Shehab Dawoud

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.

TBR Schmitt

I could cry! -Sam

Edgar Gonzalez

Hey TBR, are you gonna have a poll for the next TV show you guys are gonna react to?

Paul Cox

HOLY F*** WHAT A WEEK

Smooticus

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
