James Gandolfini, Frances McDormand, Tony Shalhoub, Billy Bob Thornton, and common house-dirt all collide in a way Heisenberg himself couldn't have predicted, but the Coens apparently can. Join Michael and Abe as they struggle to crack the code of this often-obtuse, but always interesting entry ...

158. Frame Rate: Thelma & Louise (Feat. Maggie Mae Fish)
Hey, you remember that one Simpsons episode where Ruth Powers and Marge flee from Homer and Chief Wiggum across the desert? Wiggum tries to cook engine-block eggs? Well, hey, let's talk about the incredible Ridley Scott movie of which that was a parody! Maggie Mae joins to help us dive into a pr...
