Mike and Dan talk about one of their favorites for the first time: The Big Lebowski, the Coen brothers' 1998 masterpiece. They begin with a seemingly obvious question--What makes this film so funny and rewatchable?--before moving into the subject of how much the Coens love movies and share that love with their viewers. Mike talks about The Dude as a soft-boiled detective and Dan picks up the thread by comparing Lebowski to Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Chinatown, and The Shield. Mike also talks about seeing it on a big screen for the first time after years of watching it on TVs. So make a White Russian and turn it on!
