The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

"I'm not a devious man by nature." For Episode 351, Thomas and Brandon do double genre duty with the Anthology and Western genres by discussing THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS. Listen as they discuss when the idea originated, how difficult it was making six completely separate stories, and how the streaming era of the late 2010s allowed for this movie to happen.
