(I've listened to this so many times that I finally noticed the stomach gurgle at @3:28)

This man is my great uncle. My great grandmother, Dolly Borzage, was one of his sisters. 💓 Also, my great grandfather was Anthony Galla-rini. I am just now, in my 40s, appreciating the greatness my blood came from

I've never seen Megan Abbott in action before, but she gives a lot of herself and in turn extracts more than usual from the Coens; great interview!

If you can get a genuine smile out of Joel then you know you're good at what you do.

Wow, great interview. Millers’ Crossing is their best film, and Gabriel Byrne’s as well. He should’ve gotten an Oscar for it!

This is what happens when you get an interviewer who is actually passionate and interested in the area of the profession of who they are actually interviewing! Great job!

This lady loves noir .. you should work something about noir or the hat or what have you into the title. Interesting conversation. Love the Coens.

Best interview with these guys that I have seen. "Miller's Crossing" is one of my favorite movies. Thanks!

This woman is brilliant. They found an nterviewer as insightful as the brothers. Who is she?

brilliant interviewer

Excellent interview. And very good sound quality especially for 1958.

Thank you very much for this.

Fantastic Interview. Abbott displayed a masterful approach and this turned into a wonderful conversation. My personal favorite of their films. Was so happy to find this.

I’ve seen Miller's Crossing dozens of times and NEVER caught Albert Finney in drag. That is …. Whoa. Far out, man.

This is in my top ten of best interviews I've ever seen.

Thanks for the interview! I just wish there were subtitles because spoken English here isn’t the easiest to understand for three-quarters of the world’s population for whom English is not a first language. :)

I think the private investigators all drive bugs because they’re like the bugs that gather around a body. My friend told me my takes on coen brothers and sopranos aren’t based in evidence and are “just vibes” and I’m so embarrassed that it’s really hurt my feelings. Makes me want to just make content about my takes and relate them to my politics. Theres a saying in 12-step that all it takes to start a new meeting is a resentment and a coffee pot.

Of the countless interviews I've seen of the Coen Brothers, this is by FAR the best. Bravo, Megan! I could've listened to the three of you for hours.

I've been watching their films since Miller's Crossing. What a wonderful journey it has been.

The fact that she knows and has real insight on all of their work, Plus the fact that she is super cute and attractive helps in all cases.

I remember when I saw Miller's Crossing and when the film was over, and the screen suddenly went black with the credits "Written and Directed by Joel and Ehtan Coen", j umped to my feet and spontaneously applauded. Astonishing film.

List and time stamps of all films mentioned (besides Coen Bros ones) 1:16 I Walk Alone (1947) 3:33 Thieves Highway (1949) 5:40 The Big Sleep (1947) 10:13 Double Indemnity (1944) 13:55 Out of the Past (1949) 24:36 Johnny Guitar (1954)

This isnt an interview dummies and shes not an "interviewer". Shes an author hence "in conversation"

It's rare to have an interview by a person who is as well read as these brothers, fabulous stuff!

What a fantastic interview

She does a good job of talking at them.

Yes, "back in the day" old movies were shown late at night but some independent stations, especially WOR NY, would show old movies during the day on the weekends. The Million Dollar Movie !

What an incredible interviewer. Just truly phenomenal.

Amazing interview. So satisfying to see the interviewer being appropriately engaged and aware such that the Brothers got genuinely engaging and feel interested. So good!

I love Miller's Crossing, one of their best films and that is saying something. They are known for only shooting things that were in the script and nothing ever ending up on the cutting floor, but I spoke to somebody who worked on it online several years ago, and he said there was a car chase scene or something that he worked on that is not in the movie, I'm very curious of where that would be.

True Movie masters.

The Coen’s have to come to the understanding that we need them. They are true artists. I hope they reconsider and continue to create together. If they refuse, they will be most ungrateful…and the angels will weep.

Excellent interview by Megan Abbott.

This is surprisingly good. The Coens' take on noir is a winner of a discussion focus. And not just their take; the lady is very, you know, yeah, switched on, too - summa cum laude to borrow an American superlative, top notch in the role. Joel Coen seems to find her nimble-minded explorations and parlays of their and the genre's ideas stimulating, as do many viewers I'm sure. Now I'm going to find out her name and watch some more of her interviews, because I feel a bit sexist for not having done so already.

I walk alone, too. These two twisted bums haven't paid me a nickel for all my story work for them: No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Lady Killers, and Bridge of Spies. They're total ungrateful lowlifes.

A movie about a pothead , stated with an air of disdain JC 😂 Probably never made so much from weed before.

One of the best Coens interviews.

who else wants to make "How hangs the J?" a new thing? did i hear that correctly btw? i assumed all the slang was vintage , did not realize they made some up

great conversation ..wish it were 2 hours. Excellent collaboration and preparation by Megan

This is the jewiest interview I have ever seen 😂

First time it didn't look like the boys wanted to be somewhere else. Great job.

Very cool

This is a wonderful interview. They are absolutely the kind of team that needs just the right king of interviewer. They’re all playing very well off of each other, and the views on this gem are criminally low. But people like us will dig for the good stuff!

Wow, the Coens can talk, they just need the right person. Thank you for this brilliant interview.

What a great interview. Thanks for sharing. I am reading Red Harvest because of this. Turns out "“What’s the rumpus?” is actually used in the book, but only just once.

This movie has definitely stood the test of time. An incredible achievement and definitive masterpiece.

Coincidentally the book is better, Shatner. Sincerely, Calypso, Deborah and Me

This is the only interview with Michael Cimino I've ever seen where he discusses Heaven's Gate In any depth & at length. I hope if the Criterion Collection ever does a reissue of HG they will include this as one of the "Extras".
