Coen Brothers Movie Club Part 4 - Barton Fink

We've reached the fourth installment of the Coen Brothers Movie Club. Barton Fink. What a weird, crazy fever dream of a movie. After I saw this movie for the first time in my twenties, I created a Livejournal blog or three with some iteration of "The Life of the Mind".  I'm glad there aren't physical garbage heaps full of the failed blogs we all create. I think if that existed, we'd be living in that post-apocalyptic nightmare that Wall-E is stuck on at the beginning of the movie.

Here's the episode. Let us know what you think, and we'll try to read the comments on the podcast next time. 11telegram@gmail.com
